Hatchback Dog Car Boot Divider
SunsetZed replied to SunsetZed's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Anyone please, surely I can't be the only one needing this! -
SunsetZed started following Tracking and Alignment , Hatchback Dog Car Boot Divider and Drivers Side passenger headlight washer cover

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations, Travall look to be the big player in the market but as far as I can see they only have a product for the Mk3 estate or the Mk4 hatch which doesn't help me. I'm looking for something similar to the image below

Drivers Side passenger headlight washer cover
SunsetZed replied to SunsetZed's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated. I think TPS only sell to the trade so I guess it's a dealer question. -
Someone hit my car earlier today in a car park (no note left of course). Fortunately there aren't any dents but there are scratches I'll need to get tidied up but worst of all the headlight cover has been knocked off and was nowhere to be seen. A few quesyions; 1. Where's best to get a new one from? 2. Is the drivers side (UK) called the left or the right? 3. Is it possible to get them pre painted or are they all supplied primed and if so will the person fixing the scratches likely to be able to spray this at the same time?

Advice on buying a mk3 vrs
SunsetZed replied to Phil Tomlin's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Realistically I'm afraid right now you're not going to have many options at that budget, I'm guessing you'll be looking at a fairly high mileage 2013 or 2014 car so I'd be buying on condition and service history and not worrying so much around heated seats (which can be retrofitted I think). As Sc03ott says they all have DAB and Sat Nav (although how good the Sat Nav is is questionable!). -
I didn't know it could do that!
SunsetZed replied to Telboy5's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I've had it as well a few times. In particular at one junction on the A34 where the road curves round to the left on the junction and the Sat Nav is set to shortest distance -
Try and find similar ones on Autotrader and save the adverts and then if the offer from your insurer is lower than those prices share the links with the insurer

Console phone holder for mk3 VRS facelift
SunsetZed replied to purephotoni's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I think this is the original (link includes part number) but it doesn't fit newer phones and I think is what the OP got with the car. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284461462652?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB26878118& -
Console phone holder for mk3 VRS facelift
SunsetZed replied to purephotoni's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
This is the one I've got. Previously I had one with just a phone space (which came with all mk.3's and early 3.5's I think) and the image you've shared was the replacement, it fits in the cupholders in my car albeit not quite as nicely as the first one did. -
Thanks @simonds3135 and everyone else for the replies. I'll reach out to a couple of local tyre places and see if they are more reasonable!
-
@simonds3135 which VW garage quoted you the £115? Seems I didn't include you properly on the previous message
-
Thanks all for the feedback. Just so that I understand a little more with the Active Cruise Control (as I think dad has that) what exactly do they have to do and would that price have been fair, based on the £115 quoted above it sounds like no (which VW garage was that @simonds3135? My thinking is that if the tracking was out anyway the alignment would make the ACC more accurate than it is today?!
-
I've got a 2018 VRS without Active Cruise Control and I'd like to get the tracking checked as I think that it's out by a little however Skoda insist diagnostics need to be run and would like to charge me more than £200. Has anyone else had any experience of this and is a good independent tyre place (North Somerset if anyone has recommendations!) going to be more sympathetic here and just adjust the tracking?
-
It goes in the same place, it doesn't take up both cup holders but it does reduce the space for the second one a little bit

Rear ashtray - alternative parts
SunsetZed replied to Dave77's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It was an option, not all Facelifts have it.
