If memory serves me right didn't the estate sit on 16'' wheels instead of 17'',with a smaller rolling radius ,that would lower the car slightly compared to the saloon.

Ordered my octavia vrs petrol estate in candy white,with silver roof bars,maxidot,xenons,spare wheel and sunroof on the 1st November been told to expect it early January,was expecting a much longer wait to be honest after reading some on here.

02 plate with 35000miles

Well spotted, aren't many people around now who know what they are,the usual comment when looking for parts for the Chevette is whats that?!!!!

Funny you posted this I spotted 1 driving around the other day,so yes it can and has been done,but if they are a member on here I couldn't tell you.

Ordered a petrol vrs estate in candy white,with a sunroof,maxidot,spare wheel,silver roof bars(concerned the black would fade),xenons,boot tray and sill protectors for £18100,plus they agreed a value for the current vrs in part exchange if I haven't sold it.The local dealer didn't want any part exchange don't know why?

Is it you who I've spotted going around Hanford round a bout,causing the initial oooh I like that.

Allways found Eardleys hit and miss to be honest and once its arrived it is never going there for any servicing or warranty work.Had the cambelt etc done on the current one at Lakeside VW as it was a better price cos they would price match with PSI tunning

Thanks, thought some aftermarket alterations required like the mark 1 vrs

Is it possible to get a total closure system on a new octavia vrs when the doors lock?

They wanted a deposit of £500 but I screwed the hell out of them on the price so it was ok in my eyes,now the wait till March/April

Thanks for your reply ,got a road trip to put down the deposit today.

Travelling to Palmers Skoda , Watford tomorrow to put a deposit on a new white vrs estate anyone had any experience of them,the deal is good so its worth the distance

Broke Spring?

I had this issue with a Apr remap ,I went through the list of changing the maf ,n75,D.V.and cleaning the throttle body the only thing that I found really helped was the replacement of the N249 even though it tested OK hope this helps

I've been suffering from the old hesitation and jerkiness problem on my octavia rs and I was convinced that it was the N249 at fault even though I have had no error codes in the ecu,but actual cause was the pipe to the d.v. As the pipe was quite taught it was acting like a 1 way valve. soon solved!

Vrs mats are hiding under the plastic ones!

its on 17's but its the 1.5 % interest deal thats the carrot dangling in front of me,oh whell if it gets to the end of the month and i'm still not sure, the offer ending is the decission made.It would be a shame to part with it anyway as its only done 32000 miles.

not bad for an 8 year old car!

The new rs is teasing me it may be time to trade the mk.1 rs in,but it still looks so good!

Has anybody else noticed this article on the web ,Skoda Octavia RS-P with 258hp Unleashed Down Under - Photos. Looks like alot of fun ,be even nicer if it hit the UK
