Congrats! Really nice scenery!

Why using and old part for a such crucial part? I also really doubt that you can find a used part since this is (most probably) a sensor that went bad. And the high cost is mostly because of the 4h labor and not because of the part itself.

What is the function of this?

I went with clear one (clear PPF foil) on my Steel Grey Estate.

Push this stalk away from you and the total milage should appear in the bottom of your digital instrument cluster. The one in front of you, behind the wheel.

Hi, Do you have digital instrument cluster? If yes, you need to disable ACC by pushing ACC stalk away from you. By doing this, instead of ACC icon total milage will be displayed. ACC enabled ACC disabled

It's the same on my car. 1st owner. Doesn't look anything out of the ordinary to me. Regarding the OBD port, as far as I know it needs to be uncovered and easily accessible by the law.

@Aarond It's not custom. It's a DTH Exhaust, made in Germany. https://www.dth-turbo.de/ShopEC2/product_info.php?products_id=105

Hi, This is exactly what they mean, yes. Would be much better if they use "differential" terminology than "Haldex".

This cable goes in between the original connectors under the plastic behind the handle for opening the hood? Correct?

Finally installed! A TUV approved exhaust with active flaps. 😎

Manual vs automatic makes a ton of difference. With manual you have a lot more control over this function since the engine shuts down only when you have your gearbox in N and clutch is released. With auto, engine shuts down every time the car stops moving. Sometimes even a little bit before the car totally stops.

I was told that the car should pass the inspection even without the OPF. At least here in Slovenia. I don't know how strict is the inspection in Estonia. Sprot cat should be fine. Race cat I doubt it.

@Mario_Delgado Found another one. This one makes a lot more sense since it also includes Drive Mode memory module. https://www.active-sound.eu/en/memory-module/drive-select-memory-modul-dsm-modul-mqb-evo-with-ssa-touchbutton

I was told by my mechanic that even if the engine light comes on (because of opf delete), it's totally fine to drive the car. Sport cat vs race cat. Race cat is less restrictive than sport cat. Air intake + muffler delete + downpipe with OPF delete + complete exhaust, all these mods are stage 2 ready, which can give you between 350 and 380 KM. Depends on the tune and other factors. Of course for Stage 2 remap, a bigger intercooler is strongly recommended. Also oil change every 7500 to 10000 km is highly recommended.

Yeah I know. Would wish that they would make a stand alone module for only SS. And a bit cheaper.

@Mario_Delgado There is another option. A bit more expensive. But it's made in Germany and not in China. Video is in German though. https://asr-component.de/de/597-octavia-iv-alle-modelle

The crash clip was vibrating when listening to the radio. Even at mid volume. I think it didn't vibrate while only driving and not listening to any music.

My dealer called in January to tell me there is a TPI available for my car for upgrading from 1788 to 1941. Told me the factory is trying to upgrade all the cars with version lower than 1896 to the latest so cars will be able to get major updates over OTA.

I have a 3 years and 3 months old TSI RS with DCC with around 50k miles and no issues with the dampers.

6.5x17" rim with 205/55 tire is the smallest approved tire for the mk4 TSI RS Octavia with 340mm brake discs. These are homologation approved dimensions from factory:

Hmmm are you sure? M1 etc is shown only when you are driving in manual mode. And it's the same in all driving modes. We all wish that. 😁

Yeah, physical speedos are normally linear since (I guess) it's not that easy to make it move in different increments? But on digital speedos I guess anything is possible.

This is in km/h. Never bothered me. Why would this be an issue?

I checked and on the box it says only Octavia Combi.
