Black dust on front wheels
You don’t really need/want to be using IronX every weekend wash. It’s for dissolving the iron deposits. Every six months is fine for that, along with the rest of the car.

Retrofit roof rails pfl 230?
Are cars with the spec/colour you want really rare to warrant this work? I’d be looking for another car, personally. Not a criticism of you but, every forum I’ve been on over the years seems to be full of people about to buy compromised - in some way - cars and asking about work to make them what they actually want. To me, just look for one that actually meets your expectations. Unless of course it’s something mega rare. Which this isn’t 🤷🏻♂️

I thought this sports steering wheel would be easy to find
I’d be investing how difficult it is to remove the vRS badge I think.

Insurance shocker!
Wait. You can’t just plough into things just because technically they shouldn’t be there? Hmm *makes note*

Heated Front Screen
Did I read that correctly? A grand to have an aftermarket heated screen fitted?!?
-
Blind Spot Monitoring
It requires additional hardware. It’s not just a box tick on a computer.

Tail lights options
Find someone local to you with VCDS or OBDeleven and ask them nicely to activate this for you 👍🏻 As for the original question. No, it’s not something I’d pay extra for.
-
Available coding/adaptation mods
Is that because the first item is set to “0”? That controls the number of stalk pulls before the headlamp washers activate. With it set to “0”, that means it’ll never activate? By default that is “10”, no..? For clarity, I’m using Mk3 knowledge here. Never worked on a Mk4.

Is there any USB Splitter?
Im not convinced that’ll work either. That will essentially give you two drives and the car will only be able to see one of them?
-
Heated mirrors?
What? The rear window heating has nothing to do with the mirrors. Only the position of the above switch is of any importance.
-
Heated mirrors?
Heated and folding were an option, yes. Electrically adjustable and heated only were standard.
-
Heated mirrors?
I’d be stunned if you didn’t have heated mirrors. They were standard equipment on the VRs. https://www.roberteardley.co.uk/brochures/03-01-2018/octavia.pdf

Alloy Wheel Sizes?
In addition to the above, the build sticker on the boot floor will tell you what it came with from factory. My registration also returns 19” wheel/tyre suggestions. My car came with 18”s though.

Correct tyre size for 2018 octavia
That is the OEM spec, yes. Should be a data label on the inside of the fuel flap as well, from memory? Or maybe that’s just pressures.
-
Rear washer jet disable?
Is there an option within the infotainment that enables this? Something in my head is saying yes. But if not, VCDS surely to deactivate?

Octavia 245 Owners Club
Is there some kind of Octavia club going on in your street?

High beam assist and fog lights together
But oncoming drivers won’t see them? So…
-
VRS Estate Aquaplaning
Expensive? Are they. My quick bit of research (Blackcirles) puts them at £120. Which is about the same as GY Eagles 🤷🏻♂️
-
High beam assist and fog lights together
Is it not as simple as adding another function to each foglight? It was on the Mk3.
-
2023 VRS DSG WARNING LIGHT
id have thought better for muscle memory as well? I’ve driven autos and after a few changes just remember where each position is. How does that compare to a switch style setup? I’ve never used one.
-
Option to disable headlight washer
Yes, it was certainly possible on the Mk3 to set a delay of up to 2 seconds before the headlight washer activated. I’ve done it myself. Never changed anything on a Mk4 so can’t say how to do it but I’d imagine it’s possible.
-
Heating anomaly
Lol, no. No it’s not normal behaviour.
-
'Ring' mark left on Dashboard after phone mount
Shame you don’t have an Audi. You could have stuck it on three more times for the Audi rings in the dash 🤷🏻♂️
-
Minor coded mods
Only for the pre-facelift. The chirp isn’t in the menu for FL cars.
-
Exhaust flap coding
Does it even have this feature?
