vRS245 ordered club
un1eash replied to themanwithnoaim's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
This is hilarious coming from some one who I guess is in there 50's due to 35 years driving experience. Not sure winning 3rd at a karting event is enough to leave a lasting impression on John Watson. What exactly are you famous for, name dropping race car drivers from the 90's? Ps. £6200 for 5 weeks on a top ten beach for 2, sign me up. Sounds a bargain. -

Octavia Rear Parking Sensor fault. Any ideas?

You can feel the clicking with your finger. -
Octavia Rear Parking Sensor fault. Any ideas?
un1eash replied to PhillyM88's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Put the car in reverse etc so the sensors turn on, then go around the car and feel each sensor. You should hear and feel a clicking from each one. If ones not clicking then its dead or has a bad connection. Try scanning the car with DTC Fault Memory erase for VAG. I used this free app to diagnose a faulty sensor and parking sensor speaker where other apps gave generic codes. -
I'd ask the dealer for more information before handing over £500. Sludge in the coolant is usually because its mixed with oil.

Skoda Late/Non Delivery Compensation
un1eash replied to Ursicles's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Its why they say its an estimate delivery date, basically leaves them open to push it back as much as they like. -

No ones paying RRP either for these so they haven't lost as much as you'd think. -

I've had leased cars for the past 4 years with Admiral and there's been no issues with having the lease company as the registered owner, it didn't make a difference to the price either. Only thing that has changed with them is the policy holder is no longer covered to drive a third party vehicle. -
Struggling to justify GAP on lease
un1eash replied to Ekion's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
3 year lease is becoming more popular, my next car is on a 6+35 lease profile. Current 2 year lease seemed to go by quick so want something longer this time and it was cheaper then 2 years. -

Must be different for BMW then as some options do increase the GMFV for PCP. You can't say a £30k car has the same GMFV as a £30k + £5k options is the rule. -

Not sure with the 245, but for example an Auto M140i adds £500 which is a £1300 option to the gmfv. I'm referring to PCP here as there is no gmfv as such with PCH. -

Air con compressor on the mk2 octavia is a common fault, my sisters has it. The electronics fail which stops the clutch from engaging.

Is that still the case as last couple new cars I've had I wasn't able to choose a plate, they were just allocated on the car being registered in the system. -

This next car was for family duties and we started by looking at SUV's, only ordered the 245 because it was so cheap. I'm not complaining, as they say happy wife, happy life and my daily is an M140i. -

I maybe should of waited till the end of the month before cancelling but have now secured an in stock Qashqai Tekna with pan roof pack. Other half is happy as she's been after one since giving back her leased Juke Nismo a couple years ago and delivery will be when I need it end of Feb. -

No, no deposit has been paid. I ordered direct from the dealer, they simply took the order of the system. -

Basic manual 245 in red. Was looking to keep costs down for the next couple years so its a real shame. Will be looking at a used 320i xDrive now. -

Just cancelled my order, still no build week and it'll cost to much to informally extend my current lease as they charge true rental value per month. -

I intend to call Arval on Tuesday to see if they offer informal extensions for another month or two. I can extend for 6 or 12 months but have already been informed this will more then likely be more then I'm currently paying and 6 months I expect will be too long as the VRs hopefully won't take that long. My preferred option would be to have the 245, I refuse to pay more per month now for a 230 PCH or used VRs on finance. -

I'm already looking at alternatives now, I ordered 12 weeks ago and still nothing. Current car goes back in 8 weeks so I'm doubtful the VRs will be delivered in time. I even spent yesterday car shopping and looks like a used 320I xdrive will be plan b as I won't have time to order a factory built pch deal.
