Here's a picture from the service manual.

Well, yes. But if someone is speaking on the phone in the front and people at the backseat want to hear important rally results at the same time, rear speakers will come handy. Has happened more than once...

As said above, you want the sound stage in front of you. Besides, if you adjust your front speakers properly why mess it up with unadjusted rear speakers? Unless you have people on the backseats and they need to hear the news from the radio. The DSP will separate the subwoofer signal from the front signal so you should adjust that, not fader.

It should be fairly simple: - Install a DSP with speaker input.(Or just a converter) - Connect only front speaker output from Bolero to DSP. - Connect any amplifiers with RCA to DSP. - Install power cables from the car battery, remember fuses. - Install front speakers and connect to the amplifier. - Install subwoofer and connect to amplifier. - Adjust the DSP, remember to set fader to front only during adjustment. - Use rear speakers only when necessary This is something I'm doing, more or less.

Yes, all the vRS's with DSG comes with the paddles.

You can download a workshop manual, there's a link somewhere. Here's a picture from it.

I think it's just lack of power...

Hmmm... Maybe I'll have to film it while on a dyno. Not today, though. They had to cancel for .

Likewise. :sun:

M6 to the wing, M8 to the bonnet.

Looks pretty similar and it says on the installation PDF "...or any other MQB chassis that has an aluminum front subframe..." Picture from the Octavia Workshop manual.

Škoda. Simply Clever. Alt+0138 = Š

Yep, I didn't know it was called "vRS" somewhere before I entered this forum. Here's a link to a brochure here, always RS never vRS: http://web.skoda.fi/lataukset/octavia/octavia-rs/skoda-octavia-rs-esite.pdf?time=1475730872

It is getting a bit chilly here. I was going to go and wash the car but maybe I have to wait until afternoon...

We had a small Skoda meet with Jaco2k.

The differences to MY 16 should be: - Dynamic Chassis Control available - Rear camera with washer available - Phone box with QI charger available I ordered them all to mine.

My Octavia is 4x4 so we tried on a 4x4 dyno, obviously. I think G-sensors sensed it wasn't moving and thus didn't give good power.

Has anyone had problems dyno testing Octavia 3? As I understand the car "knows" it is not actually moving despite wheels are rolling and limits the power. Is there a setting to allow dyno? Or a fuse to remove, perhaps?

Ok, thanks.

Did you measure the diameter of the exhaust?

So?

Yep, just like All Wheel Drive and DCC. Safety features.

After a few "WRC style" Launch-control starts on gravel I'm quite convinced my 4x4 is working properly. Now I need more power. And a proper undercoating...

I have DCC on mine. After driven several Petrol vRS's it feels like my Diesel vRS 4x4 is a bit harder on Sport mode than a suspension without it. I mainly use Comfort setting though, better grip on the gravel...
