Ordered my vRS diesel exactly 4 weeks ago. It’s going to be built between March 18th -24th. Then approximately 4 weeks until I collect it.

Do the octavia’s auto unlock as you approach and auto lock when you walk away like the Dacias?

is dpf/egr still an issue with newer diesels?
Micky 32 replied to harrylime's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Yes, the egr do give problems. My Passat has a clogged egr. The DPF is fine though. The car done has 200k. It gives the P2002 00 code. It’s been like that for the last 70k but doesn’t affect the running of the car. It just gives an intermittent engine light. I’m tempted to map the code off. -
An old thread i know but something needs to be pointed out. A friend owns a 2023 Tiguan with matrix headlights. He told me he gets flashed at times , a different story that you are telling. They are also far from perfect. I currently own a B8 Passat with dynamic light assist ( not matrix). They work great on back roads etc but on long stretches they can be lazy due to the car being far away. I have adapted to using them in certain environments.

I have to disagree. I have put starship mileage on diesel’s over the years. I currently have a remapped VW diesel 2.0TDI 290bhp from new and now has done 200,000 miles. Runs like new and no oil burning. Going back to the OP a friend recently bought a Tiguan with the 150bhp Evo engine. It’s the quietist diesel engine i have heard to date. I’m sure the 200bhp evo engine is quite similar.

Opinions on the fully black emblem

Nice, do you mind me asking where you ordered from? -
Has anyone fitted one to their race blue vRS? How does it look? I’m also thinking of changing the puddle lights from “Skoda” to “vRS” anyone fit them?

They pulled the plug the next day. Close one! -

Yep. Any day now. I got my order in anyway! -
That’s a large increase, must be more tuneable than the older 190 engines?
-
Has anyone on here remapped one? I can’t find much info about. Are they remappable? What are the gains on the newer 200 engine?

I have one ordered! What are the lights in the bumper? Fog lights or extra DRL’s? -
I had the same issue with my 2017 Passat. No fault codes either. Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting would cure it for a day or so. The fault has now disappeared and hasn’t returned, strange.
