Skoda Octavia Vrs Petrol - What mpg do you get?
Generally 340-345 miles with about 15 mile left on reserve. But either way the actual mileage is only 34mpg, displayed by the car and the app I use that calculates it

Mapping diesels always helps, but I was always of the impression petrols were the opposite.

Skoda Octavia Vrs Petrol - What mpg do you get?
Hi guys, Apologies if this has been covered before, but just curious. I have a Vrs 230 Fl on a 2017 plate. It is a 6 speed manual. It is standard with no mods or maps. I expected to get 38-40mpg on average just bimbling about and changing gear around 2k rpm. Sadly the most I see is 34-35mpg. My main journey every day is 13 miles of dual carriageway at 60-70mph each way. Just starting this thread, as a mate of mine has a 69 plate Vrs 245 Dsg, he has just had it mapped to 302bhp and still gets 40mpg. Is there something wrong with mine, or is dsg just more economical?

How To: Retrofit a heated steering wheel to a mk3 Octavia
It seems like most people remove the plastic trim at the base of the wheels, especially the Vrs ones, I can only assume that it is to sell them, but despite almost every wheel having it missing i have not found a single used one for sale anywhere. Where do they all go?

How To: Retrofit a heated steering wheel to a mk3 Octavia
What is the difference between airbags. There seems to be so many different characters at the end. I.e 5e3 880 201 S I have acquired 5e3 880 201 AA. I have no idea what the difference is and just need to know it will fit the Vrs flat bottom wheel when i finally get hold of one. Was removed from this wheel

Retrofitted Heated Seats - cost / what's involved?
An old thread I know, but just in case anyone is wondering what thecurrent cost would be. I just did the front seats in my 2017 Vrs 230. It cost me £378 to do it myself. 1. Control panel with heated seat buttons £54.54 (eBay) 2. Kufatec looms for each seat and fuse.box loom £146.47 (Kufatec) 3. Genuine skoda pads with heated side bolsters for base and backrest - £88.63 per seat (Skodaparts.com)

How To: Retrofit a heated steering wheel to a mk3 Octavia
Im leaning towards the Mk4 wheels, but can't find any heated ones for less than 350 at the moment. Although there is this one on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145474916031?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TwLt6nBIS1-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bgl1-3D-RMG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It will be plus Vat and import fees, so could be less than 300. Would still need airbag, the Vrs bottom trim piece, clock spring and wiring. Search everywhere for the Vrs trim piece, most places want £40 quid. Crazy. Not sure why but almost all the wheels for sale have it removed.
