Skoda Octy VRS blackline Ltd Edition?
BarneyGPz replied to Danwilko's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Yes, Parking sensors were standard. Along with Amundsen+ (SatNav & DAB), Multi-Function Computer Display, Leather Seats & Black Wheels. Allegedly £2000 of 'extras' included. Then the VAT was removed. They also added a VAG Finance Deal, which deducted a further £500 ("Deposit Contribution"). White, Black or Race Blue. Hatch or Estate. Manual or DSG. All CR170. 500(ish) in total. (but not numbered) If it ain't exactly like the above, then it ain't a Blackline, as no further Factory Options were allowed. Bought mine new in Oct 2012 & I still love Her..... Happy Days!!!!! -

Long time, no post New on 15th Oct 2012 10k miles Servicing Free 53 ish MPG in warm weather, 47 ish in winter (may be temp and/or shorter journies) SAT NAV lost it's 'marbles' on 1st Dec - didn't know where I was or where I was going! - Fixed with no drama with a new 'whale-tail' innards Parking sensors have a hissy-fit after rain esp middle-right one! Still getting great comments from colleagues - esp. young Asians who 'love the black rims', apparently :love: It's a true 'keeper', as I'm as happy as I was when I'd placed my order

It's a standard DAB (& DTV) issue. For it to work, the signal must all get there - not like analogue (FM etc) where the tuner would switch to MONO when the going gets tough. If you lose the signal in certain areas, then, at least until the GOV'T gets greedy again, you can switch to FM or AM - just store them in the vacant spaces to make it easier.

Current Tankfull - 45l = 10Gal = 535 when light came on. I always reset trip when light comes on. Including a Trip to Becon Beacons from the Midlands - lots of up-n-downs in Wales, single tracks etc 5000 on ODO - should still get a bit better - I'm hoping for a regular 540m from 45l. (54mpg) That'll do considering what options 170bhp gives you in every day driving.

As the BT can support up to 4 devices, is it possible to PAIR both a PHONE & a BT Headset? This would (possibly) give PHONE display on DASH etc, without the need to fit the MIC. I don't use the phone very often in the car and the extra convenience would be handy along with BT streaming for child #2 from iPod Thanks In Advance Andy -
