It is mainly plastic parts including the plastic shield under the engine that is broken and even that body part under the doors (don’t know the English name for that, sorry). Where am I going? On a ****ty road somewhere in Romania once a week.

I told them about the problem, they didn’t come with a solution. That is why I’d like to suggest them this with the suspension kit replaced if it’s technically possible.

Thank you, Roottoot. I’ll ask the dealer if it's technically possible to replace the springs and shock absorbers with Scout ones. Or maybe there’s a more simple solution to that (raisers or something like that.

Hello everyone, Bought a new Octavia Estate 4x4 DSG one year ago and I have the following problem: At the time of ordering the car the seller convinced me that the ground clearance is 170 mm (same as Scout). Due to a certain route I have to drive very often, it was important to me to have that combined with all wheel drive, so I had them writing that on the order document. They wrote, signed and stamped that my car will have 17 cm. ground clearance (I still have the paper). Now, with the 138 mm real ground clearance I already damaged a lot of stuff underneath. My question is: Is there anybody that increased the ground clearance by any means and without bad side effects? Would it be possible to buy and mount a Scout suspension kit (springs, shock absorbers, etc.) so the clearance would be the same as the Scout? Thank you very much for any helping answer.
