Can I tow this caravan with a Vrs Diesel
Adcooper replied to Vallumlj's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Normally get on ok with the nose weights as now use a alko jockey wheel with the scales. Actually easier after changing to a twin axle. No idea how to work out % but within the 1800kg limit and tows better than our others (single axles up to 1500kg). If I’m going some distance I do put some of the weight in the rear foot wells and back seats though to help with the weight balance. I will say although legal it’s not my recommendation. -

tow bar for a bike carrier

Paid £500 for our detachable westfalia with correct coded 13pin electrics from a vw specialist the only option in my opinion! -
Talking myself into a VRS.....
Adcooper replied to R1100's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Sold our freelander 2 for a VRS 4x4 very pleased even towing our 1800kg caravan across wet fields! I like the look of the Karoq if you need the clearance but gutted no higher powered model. -

Retrofitting Variable Boot Floor in Estate

Mine didn't come with one and there is little point with a cage so made a spacer from polystyrene works well and light weight. -
Octavia VRS Estate detachable towbar
Adcooper replied to NorfolkVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Nope won't let me select Eco when the electrics are plugged in, when reverse is selected the rear parking sensors do not work (picture on the display shows an a frame), the rear fog doesn't come on and not tried taking the plug out when the car is locked to see if the alarm goes off though. -
