Do also consider the All in plan, you extend the warranty, get two services, two MOTs and breakdown cover.

After 7 years of 2 x new Octavia VRS I sold my mk4 back to the dealer yesterday and am gonna grab a used Golf or the like as it's replacement. Both the mk3 and mk4 were awesome cars, I had little to no trouble (nothing at all with the mk4) and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone wanting a spacious, subtle, powerful and comfortable car. I've only owned either VW, Audi, Skoda or Ford my whole motoring life (30yrs) and the two Skoda's have been the best. I just didn't need mine any more and it was sat on the drive depreciating, where as it should be being used and enjoyed. Whoever buys it will get a great car in practically new condition. I will miss it and may well be back, but in the meantime, thanks for the knowledge and friendly help. All the best.

and of course it's 50% dearer 🙄 - I'll confirm fitment once received

Just had the same issue, my 2024 VRS won't take the A331H - I'll try the A335H next.

FWIW - 2024 VRS mk4.0, 9k miles covered over 22 months - best car I've ever owned, zero issues. "Would you avoid?" - absolutely not.

I've owned mine for 18 months and struggle to recall any issues with the infotainment- maybe once I had to turn it off and on once when an update got stuck, but nothing more.

I might have something on this @Jemm I believe your car is AUS spec right? - does the VIN end in 'T' ?

Thanks, that’s helpful info

There's a chance I'll be looking to sell my car in the new year. It'll be pristine, 2 yrs old, 2yrs warranty left and only 10k miles. I don't want to sell privately, trade it, or go to WBAC or the like. Question is, do dealers buy cars for selling on as approved-used? or does it have to be a part ex?

How welcoming 🙄 Here we go: "Ozone machine and cleaning with ammonia and soap"

I'd love to see a VRS running in the British or World Touring Car Championships with a kit like that. I'd feel a bit of a **** driving to Sainsbury's in it though.

Downgraded from “MAJOR” then!? 😁 Seriously tho, hope they get it sorted for you promptly 👍

I have heard that an open container of white vinegar left in the car overnight can neutralise it - but have thankfully never had to try it, good luck!

I think it's a bit sensationalist to describe a stalling car as "MAJOR safety issue" and "Very dangerous"

Yes good point, could be misshaped tyre(s)
