I’ve got a HEX-V2 for sale in the classifieds

HI, Hopefully this is allowed... I've put my VCDS cable up for sale in the classifieds... Thanks Simon

Hi, I'm selling my Geniuine VCDS Hex-V2 cable, bought from Gendan in December 2018. I'm happy to send the buyer the order confirmation / receipt from when I bought it. I used it about half a dozen times on my VRS to add the stuff in my signature before that went last September and it's been sitting in a cupboard since, it's in as new condition. It's the 3 VIN version, and one has been used. Now Sold

If you've not bought one already I'm selling mine

My 68 plate VRS has about £4.5k equity in it according to we buy any car so well worth getting a settlement figure from Skoda Finance and looking into selling privately

I’ve seen all the issues with the Mk4’s so have ended up jumping ship for my next car. I’m on my second VRs, first was a race blue TDi, that went at around 2 and a half years and was just about braking even on the PCP. My current 68 plate Meteor Grey VRS 245 DSG ordered as soon as the WLTP stuff was sorted out is valued by WBAC at £19245 with 20k miles on. About 4.5k equity! Wow! The current issues with the MK4 and the chip issues have had a massive effect on values 😁😁

Just seen it’s on the UK configurator!

Completely agree, seems very nicely specced for the price

I've just compared the price and spec of the hatch to a pricing and spec brochure dated 13th November 2018, which was the month I picked up my early MY19 245 DSG. OTR £28,045.00 Extreme 19's £655.00 Heated Front Seats £255.00 Columbus £1,075.00 Front Parking Sensors £400.00 Adaptive Cruise £580.00 Kessy £410.00 Total £31,420.00 So in reality it's actually not a massive increase.

It’s happened to me quite a lot, and sometimes when it’s raining. I’ve disabled it through the infotainment system

The water behavior your seeing will be from the last product used, in this case either Megs Gold wax or Megs Quik Wax. I try to avoid any shampoos or QD's with wax in as they will make it look my wax is holding up more than it really is. I've not used Fusso but it should last around 9 months so it may be time to do a full decon and rewax.

Exacty

Started about 2ish, had soccer school this morning Bit shattered now though, looking forward to one or two cold ones

Gave my VRS a wash today... Wheels with AutoBrite Brite wheels, wheel woolies and detail factory brushes. Tyres scrubbed with Adams Tyre and Rubber Cleaner Prewash with ODK Brakedown Foam with Adams Ultra Foam Wash with Adams Car Shampoo and Microfibre madness mitt Dried using Waxaddict towel QD wipedown with Adams Detail Spray Glass cleaned with Gyeon Glass Glass sealant topped up with Bouncers Drop N Roll My wife’s Fiat 500 got the same treatment too

Yeah, paint protection film. Like wraps, but slightly thicker, clear, and self healing

I’ll be getting PPF put on the pillars when i’ve polished them up. I had it done on my last VRS and it made a massive difference. Only cost me £60 too.

My experience seems different to most people. On my 2013 Insignia the DAB was useless. The sound was dead compared to FM, and often cut out, with no switching to FM. On my my16.5 VRS (with MIB2) the DAB was excellent. Whenever the DAB signal cut it would switch to FM and back seamlessly . No discernible difference in sound quality. On my my19 VRS (with MIB2) the DAB is still excellent, and the signal is stronger - I'm able to keep listening to local stations further away than in my old VRS That said, once within the last few weeks there was an issue with DAB on a Sunday morning, so I switched to FM manually

Yup, both DSG

According to Fuelly I've done 3488 miles at an average of 27.1 mpg. Most of my journeys are less than 2 miles though, the best tank was 32.8 which included a trip down to High Wycombe at the end of January. That included 2 hours crawling in snow because other drivers don't know how to handle the white stuff

My last car was Race Blue with Grey. I now have Meteor Grey with Red. When your driving you only see the colour on the steering wheel, so it’s not a massive difference. Personally I wouldn’t be too fussed.

Sorry for the late reply, i’ve only got a 3 VIN VCDS so can’t really do other cars. Maybe try Awesome GTI in manchester, or there is list of users in the VCDS section

To be fair to my local Vauxhall dealer I did that with a set of insignia mats and they swapped without question. These days fitted mats tend not to have any heal reinforcement which is crazy. As others have said, VRS mats are definately available seperately from the dealers

Thats an awesome spec, congrats

Skoda do one tat fits perfectly
