Thanks all. That at least tells me it’s not standard. It’s not a deal breaker if not standard.

Hi. I owned an O3 diesel VRS Estate in 2014/17 and now looking to come back. Looking at a 2016-2020 Petrol estate. I’m trying to understand if the car has the front radar in the grille it automatically has ACC. There are loads on Autotrader with the square block in the grille but ACC not listed. Was it standard or option? thanks.

I'm only looking for 10K. Nationwide are worse than Skoda for me. I have got a lot nearer now though. Only £20 different. Skoda dealer too!

Variable Boot / Spare Wheel Options
CJSVRS replied to Tom99's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
The spare will sit under the original floor. The Variable boot floor in upper position will sit level with the sill and folded rear seat with space under. The VF in lower position sits on the original floor. -
Where are you seeing the L&K similar? Currently getting quoted £60/month more on a 2.0TSi L&K Hatch(£364) over a 2.0TSi Arteon R-Line(£307). Only adding metallic paint and towbar. If I could get same price I'll stick with Skoda.
-
This is what I'm finding but you do have to add on paint (even the white costs) and I need a towbar too. Waiting on a price for an L&K with met paint & towbar - interestingly being offered better deal on a 280 4x4.
-
But I wanted a Sportline. Still maybe worth looking into.
-
I test drove an Arteon today and must say its a very nice place to be. Lots of standard kit over the Superb such as heated seats and front sensors. I was about to pull the trigger on a 2.0TSi Sportline but now not so sure, especially as VW are offering a great PCH deal £50/month less. Can't find any good deals on Superbs. If we had the new spec engines and dash displays in the Superb I think I would stay but even with a 190 PS engine the financials make sense. I am going to try a 220PS Sportline first though.

I'm looking at a Sportline to replace my O3 VRS. Did consider the SEL but the Sportline just does it for me in terms of looks, although now can't decide on limited colour choice.

18" Gemini Anthracite Alloy Wheel Wanted
CJSVRS replied to peterhardy's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Do you have a link for the wheel. I need to replace one of mine before I hand it back. -
What is this fake engine noise all about
CJSVRS replied to p5stokes's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Unplugged mine. -
Accepted the fault. To be fair I have a good relationship with the service manager and he just submitted it. However he did warn me that Skoda may reject it once they received the damaged part, I.e. Not his decision. However no problem.
-
Mine was done under warranty so never needed to remove.

Problem with automatic rain sensor for wipers
CJSVRS replied to automass's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I know the OP has replaced his sensor but I think I found my issue. Today while cleaning the car I pulled on the rear view mirror and it came away. This is obviously designed to break away in event of an accident but I couldn't re-engage the unit so I removed the cover. I found my rain sensor was not clipped in. I guess when I had the screen replaced they never clipped it in properly and eventually it fell out. So all back together including the mirror and hoping its fixed now. -
Problem with automatic rain sensor for wipers
CJSVRS replied to automass's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Mine seems to have packed up after having the DRL flashing reset but can't see how this would affect wipers. Can the car be 'reset' by disconnecting the battery for a while? -

Following as mine did this too. Just out of warranty too! -
HELP urgently need VCDS help in Rainham, Kent
CJSVRS replied to CJSVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Hooray! MOT'd by taping over DRLs! Still gave me an advisory about something on light lens but not affecting light output. Panic over. I'll go see gizmo at his convenience and get it changed - didn't really like the setup anyway. Either go for std or turn off DRL completely while indicating. Thanks everyone. -

DRLs come on with sidelights unfortunately. -

Bit of lateral thinking. Just stuck Tape over the DRLs. Can't fail if can't see. Fingers crossed. -
HELP urgently need VCDS help in Rainham, Kent
CJSVRS replied to CJSVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Waiting to hear. I'm hoping they can turn it back to normal. Gizmo who did the programming is unable to look at it at the moment so even if I took the car away to fix I'm stuffed. Anybody in Kent/Surrey/Sussex/Essex/SE London that I could bring it to? -

So it's out of phase but the DRLs dim, they don't go out completely. So full DRL when indicator off and dimmed when on. -

CJSVRS replied to CJSVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I think this is all to do with tester's interpretation. I think if they just dimmed while indicating rather than flashed out of sync he would be happier. I've got a Fabia Monte Carlo they lent me today that don't dim DRLs when indicating though so why some do and others don't I'm not sure. The dealer is trying to reprogram them to normal for me. I gave them the VCDS settings and hopefully they can turn it off so it passes. If I could get a lead I'd do it myself! -

The DRL is dimming when indicator on, so out of phase. doesn't go out completely - so looks like an old Ford when you have an earth issue the tester said. Is there definitely a sidelight bulb in a VRS Xenon unit? I tuned off the DRLs and on sidelight it turns back on. -

Looks like I'm stuck. Tester says sidelights not allowed to interact with indicators and I can't turn it off. Skoda can't change it. Anybody lend me a VCDS lead urgently??? -
My VRS has failed its first MOT on the fact I've got my DRLs dimming out of sync with the indicators. Garage have been trying to find out what's wrong before calling me thinking it was a fault! I need to disable the function tomorrow and need a VCDS lead or a local VCDS expert. I don't think this will be something a Skoda dealer can do with their kit but if you guys know what they need to do that would be good. I don't want to get into a discussion on legality, I don't think it's a problem, as just want to get car back and to be honest never been too keen on the setting anyway.
