Bonnet vents
Nice job. Not of anyone taste but way less ugly than fitting 24" wheels Thinking of doing the same on m'y Octavia. Did you do it yourself? If yes care to tell me more on how you did it? (Glued? ) I am personnaly looking to a single vent style like on the toyota Celica . That would need way more work but those one could do the trick Still no rain issues?

Question on columbus
Is it possible to code something to ne able to turn off the screen only while listening music/radio ? Especially at night the light of the screen is annoying and it has no purpose 80% of the time

1.4 tsi autonomy
OK After further test it seems to get better. No clue why. Only fun thing that the first 1/3 of the tank seems seems to last longer than the 2 others. Getting rid of the eco mode definitly helped too. That s very odd

1.4 tsi autonomy
Hello there. I have a 2016 1.4 tsi 150 since 2 week. Overhall i am very happy with the car but i am not sure petrol is for me On eco mode, while driving like my granny , being Almost all the time in 6th gear it seems i can t get more than 660 km with a full tank I did not took a 150 ps to be in 6th gear at 70 all the time. I knew it would not be as efficient as my old diesel (1000 km range while driving without any regard for fuel efficiency) but it s like i just can t use 10% of the power i bought without it having thé fuel efficiency of a middle size motorcyle. (Some even do better) I do 30km road twice a day to go to work(and coming back) 70% is outer urban road and the last is in thé city. I wanted to go petrol as it is way smoother and i was fearing of dpf issue due to not doing enough mileage but now i feel like i did the wrong choice. Is my car performing normaly?

updating to folding mirror.
I have a 2016 O3. My external mirrors are electricaly heated and adjustable but not electrically foldable. Would changing them for a foldable version be expensive? i mean the wire must already be here as they have "lecetrical" fonctions, and the motor that enable the mirror to fold is certainly in the mirror itself no? is it like i think juste a matter of buying a new one, a foldable one, putting it in place and then a coding or an option to enable it in the car options?

Would those rims fit on my octavia?
Thx for the answers everyone My calculations related to the ET were false then. For me issues would not comes from that, more from the bolt/wedge link or thé fact a 19" is just too big. It s good i asked. But damn they looked sexy ^_^

Would those rims fit on my octavia?
Hello again everyone. I own a 1.4 tsi of 2016 (so not the RS version) A friend of mine got old insignia to sell. Usually i am not into that kind of things, but god they are gorgeous ! o_0 Thing is these are 19 inch. Is it safe ? I mean aren't they too big? will i still be able to take bumpers or road holes without my wheel touching the fender liner or the car body ? Second question I would need some wedges to go from 5x112 to 5x120. and it seems the center hole is bigger too. should i put a centreing ring? in plastic or should i go for one in alloy too? is it doable or is it too risky ? (sorry for my english) regards

Advice before buying
Hello everyone First thing first, i live in France. Just saying cause taxes and some laws specific to britain could mess the topic So, i plan to buy a used octavia mk3 Preferably a model before the last facelift as i prefer the optic (especially with Led daylight) I struggle to choose between a tdi and à tsi I test drived the tdi 105 and the tdi 150 (which was of course way smoother and nice to drive) I was unable to test a petrol version The 1.6 tdi 105 do the job. Is the 116 version à noticeable boost? Initially i was going to take a 1.4 tsi140 but i fear mileage. I am not a pilote but i do drive energically. If i assume that the petrol would do 1L more than TDI 150 i tested, i would do something like near 8L that seems to be just way to much compared to what i read on professionnal test. Are the 150 that fuel heavy or was it my test (urban condition) not to be trusted ? Is bioethanol à good option if i go the tsi way? On another note i did some research on the navigation system and it seems to be impossible to turn off the screen without shutting everything off. Is it possible to listen music or radio with the touchscreen off? Sorry for the long post and the poor english
