Hi 👋 Any joy with the sound actuator? Having no joy finding it...watching a YouTube vid earlier of the 245ps Octavia VRS DSG (crospotter13) and it makes a fantastic noise in the cabin... How to activate the "fake" sound 🤔

Yes correct...took mine out last night and got to say the matrix led headlights were pretty amazing!

Yes succesfully did a software update a few days ago and it came up with a message around adaptive lights activated.. As far as I am aware the system will tell you when a software update is available much like your mobile phone

On another note can anyone recommend a good gap insurance company? Loads out there and 1st time buying this, so any advice would be appreciated

Certainly looks much cleaner when debadged...on my list to do!

That looks brilliant...👌

Yeah will do that... I have the AutoGlym Tar remover which should hopefully also do the job of getting rid of any glue residue

Black exhaust tips sounds like a great idea! The estate is brilliant...I took a white Vrs estate out for my test drive and covered one junction on the M6...slowed the car right down to 40 to see what the mid range was like but weirdly not one car behind me overtook me...took me a while to figure out why...must have thought it was an unmarked cop car..lol ! Only reason I didn't go for the estate is that the Mrs has a SUV 4x4 so dont need the additional boot capacity...

Cool! Just Googled it and its in line with what you have stated 👍 https://www.carthrottle.com/post/3-easy-steps-to-debadging-your-car-like-a-pro/

Awesome thank you most kindly once again!! One gripe is why they didnt move the Home / Menu button to the right of the screen as it currently set up for left hand drive me thinks

I was thinking of doing that but had a bad experience when I asked this to be done on my previous car by Merc dealership...muppets must have used a screwdriver covered with a towel to prize the badges off which left little paint chips around that area! 😡 Must Google how to properly do this as I think it will make the rear of the car look cleaner...

Yh awesome colour that really contrasts with the black grill/wing mirrors/honeycomb lower grill/ and "fake" rear air vents 👍 Oh and the rear spoiler...which I think looks great!

Thank you! 😊 I shall give that a go tomorrow when/ if it stops snowing 🌨

Yeah agree...looks so much better in the metal...has a little hint of green to it which actually looks v good in the right light conditions

Yh..my 1st choice was the Meteor Grey but would have been waiting till April for it to be built plus wouldn't have the heated steering wheel which is awesome in this cold weather... So what was your 1st choice of colour?

I need to learn how to do that...more reading of the manual to be done :( Picture of mine...Quartz Grey...it gets a lot of looks which I wasnt expecting!

Its more like 3 click tbh.. Step 1 Press Set Up key Step 2 Press Start/Stop on Screen Step 3 Press Set Up key to return back to Home Screen Bit of a pain but getting used to it now...

Ahh...understood ! Don't believe there is a way to permanently disable these unfortunately... No mine doesn't have the DCC, however the ride comfort I find is still good after being in previous 2 cars with run flats... Did yours come with the heated steering wheel as standard? Apparently this is now part of the "comfort pack" which is a £600 option which also includes heated widscreen and heated washer nozzles... It's a very well specced car bar reverse camera..

Hi there Stop/Start can be disabled by pressing the Set up key, lane assist disabled from s/wheel button on rhs... Same here...no sound actuation in Sport or Individual mode...

Interesting point...is your Octavia DSG or Manual? Guess its personal preference, but I found the manual vRS 230 way more fun than the ATR ...and more fun than the DSG vRS! But the honours for pure pleasure and grins for previous cars has to go to the Megane R26...superb driving machine but awful interior & possesed electrics!!

Interesting as I also had an Accord Type R a few years ago...great when you drove it like you stole it but the rest of the time it was a pain & the lack of torque was enough to put me off and get rid My current Civic Type S 160bhp is a much better all rounder! And then the 245 VRS is way better than both...

Insurance under £200 !! I have no points/ no claims/10 yrs NCD and paying £450/yr for my 2004 Honda Civic Type S 160bhp...will have to look harder for better price at renewal time! 🙄

Thanks for the reply! I have driven cars with both 18s and 19s and did feel that the 18s rode better and were less noisy...looking out for a set of 18inch wheels! Those darn Potholes...Im always on the lookout for them when driving 😐

Awesome...just checked pictures and indeed it does have the black exhaust trim 👍
