Anyone else have issues with the fitting of the maxton rear diffuser to their VRS? Mine really didn’t want to stick. not sure the fit is perfect, but the flexible rear bumper on the vrs is probably more to blame…

They need to put a proper exhaust on the vRS and bin the stupid speaker!

My car was serviced today. Recall for engine cover is listed against it, but not available from stock at the moment 😞

Got one after getting my car, updated the lane assist, and enabled standard cruise control, and have not used it since. That was over a year ago.

Looks like there are some upgrades here… http://www.kopacek.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-IV/Rear/

Maybe it’s me, but my mk4 on 19s is more comfy than my mk3 on 18s.

I’d probably just wrap it. Looks like it’s small enough you could get one of those sellotape looking rolls of wrap.

I’ve had two MK3s, and a mk4. mk3s have been largely bulletproof. Other than both had the water pump and DSG selector issues. My mk4 is a much nicer car, but the software still needs work. Adaptive cruise control makes me angry on a regular basis. And the entertainment system reboots occasionally. From reading these forums, if people have sold their mk4, it’s because of issues, so you are pretty likely to get a lemon buying a second hand mk4 at the moment.

That’s mad! I had that on both my MK3s years ago. Can’t believe it’s not fixed yet.

I tend to just put larger drinks in the door pockets.

Have you rebooted your phone?

Yep. I usually use the last one in the list with the rev counter going across the top. Keeps reverting to the round dials, on startup.

Anyone else’s speedo not remembering which option it was in, all of a sudden? I think one of the recent OTA updates has broken it, as it has been rock solid since I got the car.

I’ve just read something that says Recent Skoda’s should be compatible with Apple CarKey, so I could use my phone to unlock and start the car. can’t find anything in the MyŠKODA app or website about it. Anyone got it setup?

I’m quite impressed that I can get 45mpg out of my TSI on a good run.

Mine manages to charge through a sturdy case just fine.

I got one of the eBay wireless chargers mentioned here. does the job, gets a little warm, but not too bad even after an hours driving. mine could do with 5mm more on the cable, other than that all good. could do with MagSafe or something on the next iteration. 👍

When I did my mk4, I had the engine running.

I got it to work on my vRS. Constantly pops up annoying ACC not working messages, but it works. And the car doesn’t randomly brake, like the mess that is ACC.

Do you need to replace that whole part for the official wireless charging solution? Wow!

This thread has been very useful, thanks all. Anyone else find they don't get a module A9 listed in OBDEleven, to reduce the volume of the rumble speaker?

I had 1804 installed in my car on Friday, and it solved my SOS issues, and associated popping noises.

Anyone brought one of those from the eBay link? Is it any good?

I got a set from ebay for my estate. Work really nicely, but they really do creak every single time i open or close the boot. Anyone else buy them? anyone else have creaking?

Stop start works really well in the manual's I have driven. Its really annoying in both my DSG cars. It spends far more time off than on.
