  1. I would normally totally agree with you yet the 230 & 245 both get the similar economy as the 220 so it feels like there is a bit of headroom. My old PD170 MK2 found another 5mpg after a stage 1 map...of course using my right foot more immediately rendered this useless.
  2. Between 35-38mpg on a 220 DSG vRS. A fair amount of urban miles in that and often with a roofbox etc. Long Drives I can get into the last 40's but that is generally cruising at 60-65mph. Always wondered if a conservative map to add some lower torque would benefit the fuel economy
  3. Skoda don't release patch notes of the updates. However if you load in the new FW then prior to update it will show you roughly what modules are being updated
  4. In all my years I'd never considered the one plus one of me towing being the reason my rear tracking wandered. Feeling like a bit of a **** with this realisation 🤦‍♂️
  5. Had a RARB fitted years ago on my MK3 and it was a lovely update on the steering input. Much sharper and less roll. Had the Hunter alignment done with this. IMO laser alignment is well worth it for handling and even tyre wear. I have always found that Octavia's sag a little in the rear after a year or so causing inside shoulder wear. Combine that with the array of potholes about ATM and you'll be surprised how far out tracking can be.
  6. Ok not a problem. Image was perfect thanks. let me know if you reconsider the postage as i'm too far away to collect i'm afraid GLWS
  7. Hi, Any images of these fitted to the car? and would you consider posting?
  8. I have a 08 Pre-FL vRS PD Octavia with duel climate control. The right hand knob on the climate control has always adjusted both sides of the temp read outs, when the left knob is turned it controls just the passenger side. Recently due to my own stupid fault the battery ran dead flat. I installed another with no issues and everything was find until i tried to use the climate control of which it appears to have swapped into LHD mode. The right knob now only controls the drivers climate while the left hand knob controls both! While not life ending it is really annoying! I have had a float about on the forums and also in VCDS but i can't find any kind of coding option to revert it to RHD mode. Can anyone help?
  9. Can you PM/ Post some photos of still available?
  10. Oh gawd this gonna be good :clap:
  11. Ok cool. Thanks for the reply but not quite the drop I was looking for! GLWS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Are these estate or saloon springs? Also is that a 35mm drop on standard or on the vRS (15mm lower already IIRC)
  13. This is a huge must. If they aren't in learn mode when you manually adjust the motors will hit the bottom/ top of their adjustment and break. Once in learn mode there is two simple socket screws on the inside edge of each light. Visible when the bonnet is up.
  14. This! its bang on at keeping a little treat cool in the hotter weather! :sun:
  15. I have an 80 mile a day commute round, for the large part, the M25; a road well known for being a car park. For this reason I leave the traffic reports (TP) on for most of the drive as to be notified to either take another way home or prepare for the long haul! The other day I hit the back of traffic and realised that the radio hadn't chirped up once with the traffic reports. Since then I've come to the conclusion the function has entirely ceased to work?! I've tried many configurations of turning off and on the TP/ car and nothing seems to work? Can anyone shed any light? Its a 58 P-FL PD170 vRS with a factory Stream MP3 and jumbo box.
