I lost maybe £500, but I'm not botherd to much. I had a a4 s-line before. Think it's going to be one of those again. -

Audis are in a different league even though the skoda is basically German. It's not badge snobbery as I've now owned both. The build quality is second to none in an Audi. Like I said I don't want to offend anyone it's just my thoughts towards the skoda I owned. I've now got my stop gap car, a 53 laguna diesel for £800 and I already feel happy to smoke that around for a while. Everyone has been great on the forum in my short stay. There's always help and great advise which I appreciated. -

Can't put my finger on it, strange I know. Every time I got into it and drove it I just felt depressed lol. I don't mean to cause offence to anyone on the forum who loves there vrs btw. -
Sold my vrs today, can't tell you how happy I am it's now gone, hated it from day 1, wish I never bought it. Gave it 5 months but couldn't take anymore. In the 20 plus cars I've had it's by far the worst, nothing wrong with it mechanically just hated it. Here's what has made me sad for the last 5 months. Can't wait to get back into an Audi again.

Anyone gone from a Passat to a VRS?
AliBailey88 replied to badgerman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Passat is a better car, I'm selling my vrs to go back into an Audi again as I'm just not getting on with my skoda, nothing wrong with it, just haven't clicked. -
Normal, fans run to keep the condenser cool. If they didn't run whilst the air con was on the compressor will shut on and off every 30 seconds or so.

Dreaded hiss behind dash

Low gas, just about to run out. Mine has done the same. Leaking from the condenser. -
Me and some friends went to Afan Valley today for some intense cycling up and down the trails, was immense to be honest! My 2008 Ocavia VRS wagon (petrol) did well of the fuel, 221 miles and 42.1 mpg, not bad atall, considering its done 100k. (i did have to proper nurse it there and back to get that mpg, 70/80mph tops) Heres a few pics. MPG The wagon My Cannondale Trail MTB.

Bonnet to bumper gap? Octavia Vrs mk2.
AliBailey88 replied to AliBailey88's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Sorted now, lowered the bonnet catch and it's all good, can just about get the tip of my finger in now instead of a full finger. -
Best I've had in my TFSI was 41mpg over 60 miles, gave up for the route home and it went down to 34mpg.
