BacktoaVRS

Thanks for the responses, so I guess without a remap it's probably not really worth it.

Hi all, I came across this: https://www.wagner-tuning.uk/001002399.html I just wondered if anyone has any experience of fitting one, is it straight forward? No performance gains are mentioned, I expect any would be modest? Would it affect mapping etc. Or is it as suggested 'plug and play'? Many thanks for any info anyone could give.

Sorry to bring up an older thread, but did you get this resolved, I seem to have a similar issue which a software update didn't resolve?

Not had many issues with my VRS, other than the parking sensors showing an error during heavy rain once, though seemed OK when testing again in the rain, Clima also went AWOL once too, but was back the next time I drove it, hopefully both just software gremlins that will get fixed with updates. It's done 2 OTA updates since I got it end of March but software version hasn't changed.

Mileage currently 820 miles and the long term average is 34mpg. Managed to get 40.3 on a run from Norfolk to Manchester which I thought was pretty decent. Lowest 'since start figure was 23.5, I must have had a heavier foot that day.

Mine would be: 1. Power. 2. Styling. 3. Ride (with DCC) OK, so I've come from a 12 year old Rav4 so my standards are pretty low lol, but I find the ride in my wife's BMW worse in comparison now too.

I'm picking mine up tomorrow, ordered 14/12/2020. Good job I'm working overnight as I probably wouldn't of got much sleep! I'm feeling a bit apprehensive after reading about all the software issues on this forum, I'm hoping most of them will have been addressed now.

Mine took a week to ship to the UK from when I was told it was at the port ready to be shipped, I'm awaiting confirmation of when it will be transported to the dealers now.

That seems harsh, I ordered my manual VRS estate with Canton, DCC and winter pack on the 14th Dec. It's been built and is currently waiting to be shipped to the UK.

@parsey83 thanks, will look at ordering some when I get mine.

I take it, judging by the time it took you to fit them, they fit straight onto existing mountings?

@Tishout - I ordered mine 14/12/2020.

I've been given a provisional build date of week 7, delivery some time in April.

Looking at the online reviews, the one on the right seems to be for the tow bar release. I can't find one that shows the one on the left but could it be to disable the sensors if towing or something similar? I have the tow bar specced on mine so I'll feedback then but no delivery date yet.

I have to admit, I just went for the cheapest offer over anything else. Probably the latter reason tbf to the dealer, as I'd already placed the order. I'd read something elsewhere that made me query whether the rear LEDs were standard, so it's good to know they are thanks.

Yes, this is the brochure I was looking at which suggests the rear LEDs are standard on the VRS. To confuse me even more, I've just had an email from the dealers to say they're not standard and are a £605 option, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the car actually has when it arrives! Shame, as I'd have liked to have the scrolling indicators but not really a deal breaker!

That's good to know thanks parsey83, I was concerned I'd made a mess of my config!

Does anyone know if the high function rear LEDs are part of a pack or not on the VRS model? The online brochure I downloaded suggests it`s standard, but looking at some of the available packs (e.g. Rear view camera) suggest they're part of a pack, can anyone confirm if the UK VRS gets the dynamic indicators etc. as standard?

I've just placed an order for a quartz grey manual Estate, it's a return to Skoda after owning a Mk1 Vrs hatchback. I've been told the lead time's around 17 weeks.

Hi everyone, I've just ordered a new Vrs Estate, I owned a mk1 Vrs and have missed it ever since so I've decided to come back to the fold. I'll check the forums for advice on what I should check for when I receive the car but any quick pointers would be welcome.
