BlackEdDSG

Recently noticed a small tear / hole in the drivers seat. Could be a tiny cigarette burn from the previous owner. 1mm-2mm max. Cloth seats. Any suggestions or repair recommendations? Obviously not going to heal itself

Thanks that’s very helpful

Awesome and thank you

About to get a 1.5TSI SE technology DSG Will this have ACT as standard? It’s a 2020 (70 plate) Thanks

I’ve had the tyre repair in aerosol form for too long and I want to get an actual spare wheel. if I get a 16” steel wheel with a 16/55/205 tyre on, will it fit in the boot under the floor or must I get a space saver version? I know what I’d prefer but I need wisdom. Please help!

Really handy thanks

Found 2 sets so far, £30-55 seems to cover it. wondered if there was a particular brand that fits ŠKODA Octavia really well

I was curious about any pros/cons of adding wind deflectors to a standard mark 3 hatchback What’s good about them and which are the best ones to get? thanks as always

Currently driving a 2.0 TDI Octavia 3 with standard 16” alloys. I'm happy with the ride comfort etc but I wanted to change the appearance. option 1 is to get current alloys powder coated to matt black option 2 could be to sell the current alloys (excellent condition) and replace with black steel wheels which might almost pay for itself (or at least be cheaper than option 1). I’m sure I’m missing something here so feel free to explain / help many thanks

I would really like this too having had smartlink once before. I was told by main dealer that it was possible, booked it in and then was told that it wasn’t compatible. Mine is a 16plate 2.0 TDI SE. i think it might be v expensive if it is possible (£700ish). very keen to hear other experience and expertise

I’ve been driving a 2.0 TDI for about 9 months, similar commute too. On average 64mpg over the last 3k miles. Previously had a DSG (same size engine) which was 58-59 on average the lower tax on cars up to 2017ish is worth another 7-800 miles or so based on current prices so worth considering too

I quite fancied buying some ready made sun blinds for the rear windows and the back screen for my 16 plate Octavia hatchback Anyone had any good / bad experiences that they can share? I’ve had to return one set already that were marked as 2014 Octavia hatchback but didn’t anywhere near fit! Happy to hear any ideas.

More questions! I'm looking for a one-piece shade for my back windscreen in an Octavia Hatchback (MY 2016) i have shades for the side rear windows but haven’t found what I’m looking for. feel free to point me in the right direction with any do’s / don’t. thanks as always

That’s my bad use of terminology. Mine has the torsion beam suspension. I’m interested to heard from anyone who has lowered the suspension / springs etc with a torsion beam in case it turned out well (or terribly). thanks

I’m all for keeping my costs to a minimum so that’s handy to know that they’re cheaper than the alternatives. I didn’t realise that. That Jag though!
