  1. Hi all picked up my 19 plate VRS DSG diesel last night, absolutely loving it! Just trying to work out all the buttons etc. I'm sure i saw on the advert when buying that it had rains sensitive wipers, however i can't see to find a button or option for them? I just have the manual options on the stalk? Mark
  2. Hi All Picking up my new used Octavia VRS Mark 3 this week. Very excitied as had always toyed with the idea of getting one. I used to own a Monte Carlo Fabia and loved it! When looking i only wanted a car with heated seats, however i have since found out about a winter pack (heated seats, washers and front screen) Were the heated seats available as on option on their own or did you have to order all 3 as a winter pack? Just wondering if my new car having heated seats will have heated front screen? where is the button for it? I have heated front screen on my current Volvo and i do use it quite a bit so would be good if it has! any help appreciated
  3. Thanks everyone, Think i will try and get the Kenwood upgrade thrown in when im looking at used ones without sat nav!
  4. Hi, can anyone tell me if the antenna for the kenwood upgrade is put on top of the dash? would ahte to see an ugly black box on top of the dash? Also how much are you looking at for that pioneer unit including fitting?
  5. Thanks for all your help can I assume the option of having Sat Nav fitted to a used car is not an option? looks like I'm best waiting for the right car to come up for sale!
  6. Hi Everyone Looking for some advice/knowledge. I currently drive a Fabia Monte Carlo Tech which i love however I have been given a car allowance by my company so looking for somehting a bit bigger/corporate for seeing clients etc and I think an Octavia VRS deisel auto is the way to go. I keep looking online at the approved used site and for my budget im probably looking at around a 2014 to 2015 plate (priced between 15k and 18K) however ones with Sat Nav are few and far between. I undertsand at this age of car sat Nav was an added extra, can anyone tell me how many cars had it fitted? I do need a Sat Nav for work purposes so would like it but am i going to be waiting forever and a year for one to come up for sale on a 14 or 15 plate with sat nav fitted? Or as a plan B would this age of car have the smart link fitted (can use Sat Nav from my phone) or how much would it cost to have Sat Nav put in afterwards? is that possible? Any help much appreciated! Mark

  8. looks like im getting confused with PSI and BAR?! lol
  9. is 34 PSI ok? im a bit confused as on the filler cap it says something like 24?
  10. Hi all I need to pump my tyres up in my monte carlo but i cant see the recommended PSI anywhere? I have the standard black alloys that come with the car. any help much appreciated!
  11. Hi all, Had my 1.6 TDI Monte Carlo Tech for around 2 months and so far loving it! however this morning i have noticed i have a stone chip on one of my nice black alloys around 1cm in diameter? as far as i know (please advice if different) i have 3 options: A) call out chips away etc? any idea of cost Try and use a touch up pen? any idea of what colour i need? C) Buy a whole new wheel? im assuming they come up on ebay from time to time? any help much appreciated!
  12. Dear All Have had my 2013 Monte Carlo Tech 1.6 diesel for around a month now and so far am enjoying it, however one thing i do miss from my old car (2013 Ibiza FR) is steering wheel mounted controls for the radio/phone etc? its annoying to have to keep taking my eyes off the road to change track or turn the volume up/down? Can these be retro-fitted? were they an option at all? If so i would be interested to know where i can get this done and for how much?
  13. Hi All I am new here. I am picking up my new 2012 plate Monte Carlo Tech in a few weeks. I currently have a 2013 mark 4 seat ibiza FR which i have a spare wheel kit for (i paid £80 extra from new to have one) Reason for my post is, seeing as the 2 cars are the same "underneath" will the spare wheel kit i have fit my new Fabia (which doesnt have a spare) If so i guess i am worth holding onto it as i doubt i will get any more money for part exchanging my Seat with a spare in! any help much appreciated. thanks
