Skoda Octavia IV pictures thread
That looks fantastic. Great colour choice and spec.

LED
Different markets/regions require different settings/items depending on legislation. So, everything is built into the vehicle but only region dependent items are activated. Yes, you’ll be able to activate the rear DRLs with the appropriate software and hardware.

LED lights mist
I’m not sure how using a hair dryer will work long term anyway. You’re heating the air, which then cools and will...well, condense on the lens.

Sticking brakes when using handbrake
Every single car I’ve owned with discs at the rear has done this.

The Superb III Picture thread
Nice. Not a fan of the vRS wheel caps though. I don’t even like them on actual vRS models.

Does SE L model have xenon or Led dipped beam
I’d pick whichever has the spec you want. Choosing a car to save £100 a year on tax when you’re going to lose thousands in depreciation has never made sense to me.

Octavia 5 minus 1 doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Does SE L model have xenon or Led dipped beam
16/66 should be pre-facelift if memory serves. They came with halogens as standard and xenons as an option. Facelift models (17+) came with LEDs.

LED lights mist
The short answer is, misting is normal. Water droplets are not. That’s when you go do the dealer.

Grey looks good on the Mk4. I wasn’t really a fan on the Mk3.

Any advice on buying a 2018 Sportline 2.0L 220 ?
That ran through my head as well. 1st owner, dealer perhaps (demo) but why has the second owner punted it on. Could be nothing, could be something.

Mk 4 vRS UK Heated Steering Wheel?
WRT your first point, I believe more items being in packs is due to emissions testing. Having items in packs means you only need to test a handful of configurations of the car for emissions. If everything was á la carte the number of possible combinations to test could run into the hundreds.

Winter radiator muff - for chilly low mileage days in Scotland
I’ve never used one, nor felt the need for one either. I’m in the central belt.

Should i walk away?
Why is that being flagged in an MOT?

CarPlay and phone calls
I think so. The idea is you use Siri to control the phone. The button should work for answering and ending calls though. I think that’s correct anyway. I rarely make calls in the car so memory is a little fuzzy.

Cruise Control Retrofit for MK3 VRS
I’m sure dealers were quoting less than that a few years ago. Might be worth asking.

Ooh, I have an umbrella holder...
The storage location is under the passenger seat. I’d check there first to see if you have in fact got one but don’t know about it.

Ooh, I have an umbrella holder...
The Skoda one is perfectly fine IMO. I use it a lot. Not during strong winds mind. I don’t think any umbrella of that size will be any use in anything over a light breeze.

Dynamic Indicators
Actual LOL at managing to shoehorn a MPG post into a thread about indicators. Well done, well done.
-
Octavia III Facelift
Its and LED module, not a bulb(s). No help with getting it off but just an FYI before you take the front end off for potentially nothing.
-
New Octavia 2020 vRS?
They have some proper guff wheel options on the continent. Certainly a good move by Skoda UK to only offer the 19”s.
-
Skoda Connect Lite
I feel like I’m missing absolutely nothing by not having any of these apps, after reading all of that.
-
New Octavia 2020 vRS?
I suggest people just save themselves 3min 16sec and skip the start up video. There’s nothing to really hear.

3 car seats...
Having had 2 full child seats in the rear in days gone by, I’ve no idea how anyone is securely fitting 3 or 2 plus an adult in the middle. The car isn’t wide enough.

Suspension in sports mode
It won’t be doing anything to the suspension unless you have Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC).
