Hi team, I bought an RS in 2017, and later a Kodiaq for the Mrs last year, relatively comparable. In a recent comparison of underneath each hood, I noticed a couple of covers missing on my RS, which I bought new from the dealer, compared to the Kodiaq. I don't suppose these were intentional oversights, however I gather the under bonnet dust cover, and rear panel dust cover ought to be there. Anyone know any reason why they would not be on the RS? If they should exist, anyone know where I could find them to buy? I am located in Queensland, Australia

Ah yes. That makes sense. If they’re going to make an actuator, then make it worthwhile by having a better sound. Yep, can’t fault that request!

I’m not convinced that there is any “wasted” energy from having the sound actuator on, because if there were, it would reflect in reduced performance. With it on, I was able to get from 0-100km/h in 6 seconds flat, faster than what it says on its spec sheet, so t can’t be taking much away from the car…

I'm in the rare group that likes the sound actuator. I've always been one to enjoy a good engine sound without creating a stir to anyone outside of the car. Yep, a good feature that should stay because it is easily switched off and can be defaulted to being off, as opposed to the Auto Start/Stop feature that I always want to be off but cannot default it to the Off setting.

Remember that you would only have to buy these lights once!

Hi. I'd save yourself the handiwork by purchasing one of these from SuperŠkoda (superskoda.com): http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-MEGA-POWER-LED-safety-door-lights-with-GHOST-light-RS-RED I can attest to them as they are super easy to install and do the same as what you're asking for without the drilling and wiring needed. I have a vRS, though, which this ghost light features its logo. Alternatively, there are these if your model supports mirror down lights: http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-MEGA-POWER-LED-mirror-downlight-KI-R
