Woah! That's a bloody long way off. My last vrs I was told 8-10 weeks. Eventually took 5 months... -

I've got a note 8 and in my Audi with tech pack spotify and maps worked when USB'd into the car. I'd imagine it'll work in the Octavia too. -

I only 'need the wireless charging option. I don't have kids and the wife feels such if she watches videos whilst on YouTube whilst driving. I just thought it would make streaming music slightly easier but for the option cost I'll just stick with it as is. -

Will I have a sim slot then if I have the following option? Wireless phone charging with Bluetooth+ and Wi-Fi (PT5) -
Front assist option not visible
Famous_Afro_Jay replied to Gumby's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Don't forget that the manuals normally assume all options have been ticked. They are not specific for each build. -
Just ordered a new Octavia vRS 245
Famous_Afro_Jay replied to Famous_Afro_Jay's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ha ha sod them! I want to lower it and maybe add some bilstein dampers too so I figured there was no point. I may change my mind after driving yours -

I'd be happy, that seems about right. -

The dealer should send you status updates of what's happening. It usually goes 4 months of nothing the 5 weeks of activity. I am looking forward to the farts. I had a new TT S tonic (DSG) 230 petrol Quattro and the farts on that were comically loud. I hope this is close -

I have been spoiled by company cars so I went a bit mad with the options. Have you also been quoted 20 weeks? -

Same here, I was also told 20 weeks. Means I may be without a car for 3 months :/ The latest DSGs are a world away from the old autos. I also have been reading reviews and watching vids for new exhausts -

Good man. What wait were you quoted? I e got spoiled by all the options on the company cars so I went nuts on the list. I have most things except the electric dampers -
184 VRS with no silencers
Famous_Afro_Jay replied to M7R's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I had one of the first mk3 vrs estates a few years ago and wanted to do an exhaust but I held back. I'm gonna go for the remote valve remus exhaust for my next 245 petrol I just ordered. -

I work for an Audi dealer and from build week it's usually 4 weeks to get them into the UK. Although I have had an S5 last year that was with me 1 week after build and a Q7 that took 7 weeks to get here. -
MY18 updates?
Famous_Afro_Jay replied to Famous_Afro_Jay's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm on a 2 year lease so a new one in late 2019 or early 2020 would be perfect. -

Famous_Afro_Jay replied to Famous_Afro_Jay's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
So a second dealer has confirmed that there are no changes for the vrs. Not sure about other models. -

I'd quite like mine on an 18 plate, it'll have to be 20 weeks to make that close to happening -

Famous_Afro_Jay replied to Famous_Afro_Jay's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Just heard back from my local dealer and they say 'Currently there is nothing lined up to change for the vRS in build week 45' -

That was my thought too. I've given up an A4 272ps V6 TDI Quattro company car as I was costing a fortune so this needs to me as comfortable. I hope they don't take the fold mirrors away
