this isn't a phone app - it is an actual device which plugs into your OBD port under your dash -
Considering a nearly new Octavia vRS
ambrosevonpose replied to astilla's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
18 months ago i paid £15,500 for my VRS estate - DSG,Xenons,P/Sensors - granted it had 31,000 on clock but with a full service history and Diesel engine that didn.t bother me That price of yours does seem a tad expensive but they are quality cars despitet some people still having badge snobery -

I removed the panel cover - scotch locked them, then cable tied them to the main wire loom running from the wiper motor and all seems fine -
fuel saving tips please
ambrosevonpose replied to zep108's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
most fuel is used during the initial acceleration from lights,junctions etc until you get into top gear I did an experiment in my car on my local part of the motorway - Did a 10 mile journey doing 55 mph and i got around 57 mpg - then i did the same journey doing a lot more if you know what i mean and I got 56 mpg. The saving didn.t seem to justify the boring journey and extra time taken -
Head Up Display
ambrosevonpose replied to ambrosevonpose's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
it was only done on my iphone ii will try and get a better one for you - the numbers are really sharp and it is not distracting as you do not need to take your eyes off the road by looking down at your speed It is a close up - I know it looks like a giant reflection but the size is only about 3 incnes in the corner it plugs straight into the obd2 port -
finally fitted my head up display

ambrosevonpose replied to xpower's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Hi All I bought the number plate kit from the ebay link on first page and as expected the error came on the dash, so then I purchased some load resistors which clip either side of the cables going into the lights and this worked It was tricky to fit as the rear panel cover needed to come off. The whole job took about 20 mins but the lights look great Hope this helps anyone PS. the resistors cost £5 -
