Skoda Octavia IV pictures thread
You've got the Challenge pack to get black tail pipes? Also have you lowered your RS iV?

Aftermarket new wheels
I've got 18" Dezent TR black for winter. Perhaps less weight than the original 19".

Delivery times?
I believe you're looking for a crystal ball, which we do not have. My spoon for the soup is information from local Skoda (not dealer), that RS door panels will continue production on june. Dealer said that he can't verify at which point of june will the production start. Of course its totally different story, that when will some of start getting their RS's.

Delivery times?
First of all, nice that someone is getting any cars! But about the turn signals. Did you know this before you got it?

Delivery times?
Asked my dealer today. Read curtains and washers removal is mainly for lower spec models. Also asked that IF my RS would not be in production, what would be the estimate. He said lucky to have it this year

Delivery times?
I've heard some had calls to leave out rear curtains and headlight washers to get their cars faster. Not sure if this affects Style with matrix only. I'm still waiting for june, since dealer said that RS door panels are back in production then. Latest news is that in june, he might have a real date of delivery. Car was on production at february.

Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) on Matrix LED System
Matrix'es don't dont that. They just go down and up. OP, are you reaaaally sure you have them? Take a picture of what you have.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
I wasn't actually talking bout pricint. Just the idea how much it would take (or how much to disassemble). And perhaps if someone knows tweeters/sub which i could order and swap out myself. But yeah. Best bet to still go to any local shop and ask for pricing.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
Sure, just wondering here before asking anyone. Or even getting my car

Octavia RS - convenient entry driver's seat function
Try to reset settings. Perhaps there's a bug from an update.

Issue with my Octavia e-tec - won’t surf/eco
Nope, there is no indication abut the MHEV system usage. It charges on braking and uses the battery when every it can It might have been an issue with engine wanting a longer run to burn some particles. It requires a longer drive with more rpm's. Great that its solved now! Maybe update the topic?

Canton Sound System Upgrade
Does anyone know how much work is it to put damping on the doors? Could the sub and tweeters be swapped out for slightly better one?

Issue with my Octavia e-tec - won’t surf/eco
The battery is about 0.5kWh and is recharged by breaking. Perhaps you dont break enough to charge it? Do you use any driving modes like eco? Try to break more, since it uses the battery to start the engine from coasting and helps on acceleration. Breaking with engine should recharge it also.

Delivery times?
You're just teasing your self by asking it every week. Dealer keeps telling you optimistic anwers, as thats what you want to hear. Just prepare for a month delay, when you dealer claims a week. Door panel factory has just been started, and your car is not the only one waiting for them.

Delivery times?
So we're on the same page then. Unfortunately my optimism for delivery in next month is gone. Dealer told me earlier that "it should come before summer". Perhaps he knew about the door panel production starting in june. Maybe he doesn't want to concern me. In a sense he's right. Now that i've got information about june, i'm disappointed and not waiting for it. But now knowing that delivery might be on july, it makes me worried about the car being old, since VIN has already been created on february.

Delivery times?
I actually just emailed Skoda and they replied with well, with a delay. Did you car reach production?
-
Delivery times?
For me that looks like a sensor problem thats also coloring the ground But yeah. The white covering would be realistic answer.
-
Delivery times?
Hmm could be. Google maps image isn't that clear, but looks like they have white sides also. Maybe your dealer told you optimistic expectations so you would NOT cancel your order I've got few friends saying me that i should cancel my order, rather than get months old car. But to be honest, i've got little choices. For the price point Octavia gives me lots of good stuff, and mamba green just is awesome. BMW and Mercedes would been an option if budget would stretch for 5 grand maybe. Octavia4 might suffer from cheaper feeling compared to mk3, but thats with every VAG car these days. Same with Golf mk8 and Seat Leon. Also for me the stock cars dont have enough options. Going back to the waiting line would also not be a great option.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
There's another option besides Canton? Anyway they are the same crap whether its canton, beats or h/k. Just different for each brand.

Delivery times?
With window openings? Skoda, not dealer. Got an email saying the RS door panel production will start in june.
-
Delivery times?
Well, lets say only at least RS models. They have different fabrics compared to "normal" models like Style. Other things, Why does Skoda factory have so many white cars? Picture is 2022, not sure how fresh. Maps link

Delivery times?
Door panel factory is running, but RS models will be without door panels for 2 more months.

Canton Sound System Upgrade
Does having Canton make it harder or better for swap for something aftermarket?
