I was in the same position as you - just needed bars for the odd ladder, some timber and the canoe - I got these https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/product-reviews/xtremeauto-maypole-universal-roof-bar-review-skoda-octavia-estate-amazon They are on my estate now - a little noisy over 50 but I only have them on occasionally.

Links for all the workshop manuals on here guys https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/skoda/skoda-octavia-mk-iii-2013-workshop-service-maintenance-repair-manuals-downloads-inc-vrs-free Enjoy

Yep - that's what I use. That's my website and the VAG DPF screen shots are for my car. I'll have to think long and hard as my DPF becomes more and more full. There is the option to have it gutted and mapped out but thats illegal. I'd pay for the better dongle and the pro software. Works out less than £20

My 184 is the same. Can feel a bit different after a regen. I use the VAG DPF app to monitor it - more on that here https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/dpf-diesel-particulate-filter/vag-dpf-review-andriod-vag-dpf-monitor-app Also check our this page about the Mk3 VRS DPF https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/dpf-diesel-particulate-filter/skoda-octavia-iii-2013-diesel-particulate-filter-dpf-owners-manual-regeneration-faq

How about using a goPro?

Hi All I've been updating my VRS buyers guide and I'm looking for further updates / items which need adding. To be fair, the Mk3 is pretty robust but more issues are appearing now. Check out the article and let me know if you think there is something worth adding or I'm chatting utter bo**ocks about someging https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/buyers-guide/skoda-octavia-vrs-petrol-and-diesel-mk3-fl-buyers-guide Cheers Karl

Some more info on GPFs https://www.hypermiler.co.uk/emissions/the-gasoline-particulate-filter-faq No new engine is safe from all these emissions technologies. Just hoping the DPF in my 184 lasts a little longer

56k / 4 years and not one single issue

Just wanted to drag my results back after a couple of years. I reported mine when it was 17% at 28k miles. Connected it today and is showing 29% at 56k. I do the miles (just) and enough long runs to keep it in check. I do have a the fan running quite often but it seems that I’m quite lucky with the oil ash figures. Anyone had thier DPF replaced yet?

Thanks Mate - can you PM them over for me. Been writing on the go so I'm sure it's got a fair few in there that gramarly didn't pick up

Hey All Those of you who frequent the Skoda facebook groups might have seen my link to the MK3 buyers guide I've put together. I hope you find it useful and please do let me know what you think and if I've missed anything or I'm talking ****. Skoda Octavia MK3 VRS Buyers Guide Enjoy. Cheers Karl

loving this thread. Keep it up

Here is mine in my 184 - If you're local you're more than welcome to pop over any give it a try to 60 I recon the DTUK would just pip a standard TSI

High 6 maybe low 7 with a load of spin

Very temped to swap out my 15' DSG 184 Estate for a new 245 with Virtual Cockpit, 19" extremes and sunroof (Meteor grey) I'm in no rush, do you think waiting off until after xmas would make for some nice deals?
