Thank you for that!

Haha! I've not managed to trigger it yet but it accepted the coding quite happily. So any tips on Nav DB upgrades. The RNS315 is actually pretty decent coming from the 3G+ MMI in my A6

Sod knows what colour mine are. Car came with a touch up stick in the boot in a ford colour and it's a perfect match!

Thanks bud, I'll run it by SWMBO when she gets home from work.

Thanks for the offer Shy! I'd love a full size spare but I've already got a steel spare in the car now and could probably do without spending any more than I already have on it! Lol However just out of interest what sort of money would you be looking for. Don't see many rims for sale.

Finally picked up a MK2 Monte for the OH. Technically I guess it's a Black Edition but it's still a Monte Quite leggy @ 80k (this was reflected in the price) but has great full invoice backed up service history and has obviously been looked after. Usual specs! 2014 Monte Carlo Black Edition 1.2tsi 105bhp Heated Seats Amundsen + Maxi-Dot etc etc etc... I've hooked it up to my VCDS and was happy to find no fault codes so did a few tweaks:- Enable large MPH display in cluster Needle sweep Enabled autolock @ 15mph Tear drop wipe Blinking stop lights on emergency braking Not sure if there is much else that can be done VCDS wise? Although it was only serviced at a VAG specialist on 30th July I've ordered all gen bits to do it again myself for peace of mind. Air, Oil, Fuel & Cabin Filters Quantum LL3 Oil New Spark Plugs I had to replace a one way breather valve that was snapped off in the cam cover but the dealer I bought car from paid Disks and pads are pretty worn so got a set of OE Disks and Pads and planning to check the condition of the rear shoes & cylinders when I paint the drums and calipers. Ordered a few accessories. Boot Liner Boot Storage Box Gen Carpet Mats Spare wheel and tool kit (as I don't like the foam stuff) Future plans! Upgrade Nav DB as it's still on V5 (any advice where to get V9 from as the SD card isn't present???) LEDs and other bulb upgrades (Osram Nightbreakers etc) Stage 1 Remap Sort moisture ingress in front fog lights and tail lights. Wheel refurb when tyres are due replacement. I've got some MK3 Golf wheels & tyres which should fit whilst they are being refurbed. Fit armrest (once I've repaired the lid) Full detailing session! The other half is very happy with it. She is most impressed with how little fuel it uses in comparison to the 2004 1.8t Quattro A4 she had before! She even moves my A6 out of the way to get the Fabia out whereas she used to just take my car before.

2014 Black Edition 1.2tsi All standard for now!

Are these still available anywhere?

Looking for a MK2 Monte TSI for my OH and have spotted a July 2014 one with 85k on which looks in good condition and has good history. It's the highest mileage one I've seen but obviously attractively priced. Are the engines past their best by this point or if well looked after should it still give many years happy motoring? It will likely only do 5k PA in our custody.

Looks like a lot of car for the money!

Thank you.

Howdy! New hear! Had a couple of MK1 Octavia diesels back in the day but now the missus is on the lookout for a MK2 Fabia Monte Carlo or vRS. Thought I'd join here as there looks to be a wealth of information here 🙂
