so the H15 is an improvment? or is it jsut the H7 thats brighter? also pics! -
push the buttons in with your finger a little and that will let your tips get purchase, then gently remove the trim piece

hope they are better than the last Mtec I had fitted, colour looked great, but at night you could see bugger all! -
2014 2.0 TDI 150PS Dyno Results
D@z replied to Andrew@DTUK's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
well, I have a 'Trevor' on the way! dont think I will fit for a while yet though, still running the car in -
if its like the apr kit I had on my Mk2, you will be surprised how much better it sounds on the outside of the car, even though the difference is quite subtle on the inside, if you get it on a rolling road, stand in front for a listen
-
Interesting, well as I have only gotten the car, and then switched that setting after getting flashed a few times, Ill have a go turning it up and down, see if it does actually affect it.
-
Not in my experience Matt, I found that when I set it to 'High' it was much quicker to dip?
-
worth mentioning that I find the Auto Lights excellent, but had to adjust the sensitivity to High, as I found it was a bit slow otherwise, leaving me getting flashed/blinded by oncoming drivers

2014 2.0 TDI 150PS Dyno Results

has anyone got results from the new "trevor" DTUK box? could be very tempted for one for my new MK3 -

D@z replied to aki78's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
just got my new MK3 a couple of days ago, I had some LED spare so I upgraded all the interior lights, the mirror lights will be done at some point, interrested to see how you all get on! -
well, just to update, the VRS is going! I have been contemplating what to do all year, and finally got a deal on a new Octavia I couldnt refuse. This time around I have gone all sensible, so Im collecting my new 2.0 TDI 150 Elegance this week! 0% finance, free servicing and no tax combined with 50+ Mpg will represent a fairly good saving per month for me, whilst also having a new car :-) Will not be hitting it too much with the mod stick either, as I got carried away with this one. Plans for the new one are perhaps some EIbachs, Rims and a Remap/Tuning Box and a few little finishing touches like LED interior lights etc. apart from that, drive it and save money to spend on other things! Parts will be available for sale soon when I get some time to list them!

I had a 12 week wait on my current VRS, but some of the waits on the MK3 are ridiculous!

Where are all the 'Black Edition' Octavias?
D@z replied to ian1961's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Dont forget to post some pics and give us a review with the lowering done! -
dealer called yesterday, my new ride has arrived, just getting PDI'd etc now, then I should be able to collect on tuesday :-)
-
quite a break you are having, enjoy!
-
its got a few options afaik, tbh I need to get the full run down, I know it has towbar prep and the winter pack, I went against my own rules and done a deal down the phone on a prebuilt car I didnt know the full spec of, lol

jon, have you got a link to those? just ordered myself a 2.0 tdi Elegance and its going to need lowered! -
so I put down a deposit on my new Elegance on Thursday, dealer says it should be here within 3 weeks (its prebuilt) glad I dont have to wait for months!
-
sorry I havent been on much so havent replied! well I bought them and had them wired into the window electrics, although im sure if you wanted you could have them wired to the lighting circuit, but then they wouldnt be on when actually driving the car?
-
well, I was, but recently I just dont get the use out of a high performance petrol to justify the costs, so Im going all old and sensible, 2.0 tdi 150 for me this time! will probably give it a little bash with the mod stick though!
-
lol, no worries, you never know, by the time I get around to listing it you might be back
-
mines been stripped down real soon Niall if you are interested in some upgrades ;-)
-
well as Preston_Motors has already posted the deals, I finally made a decision too, no VRS for me this time, with the lack of incentives I just couldnt justify one, as it was coming in over budget, a nice new Elegance however, came in nicely under budget, is sitting built and will be mine within 3 weeks! the 0% and 3 years servicing swung it for me in the end :-)
