Looking good! Passed you today a few miles away from Keswick, I was in a Mk3 Race blue Octy Vrs towing an Eriba.

After some TDI towing MPGs

We have a 2014 Octavia Vrs 184 Tdi & tow a 2008 Eriba Troll 552 GT, regularly average 38-40 mpg going back & forth from the North East to the Lake District at motorway speeds, good stable towcar with plenty of poke in reserve....😁 -
Slightly off topic but I've just put my parents unmarked Citigo Monte Carlo details into WBAC, 18 plate with 5500 miles........8 GRAND!! I got it for them through Carwow March 18 for £9600, WBAC offered £5500 at 4700 miles Febuary 20!

I've got a 2014 Octavia Vrs hatch & found the interior quite "boomy" at speed, I've spent around £50 on Dodo mat sound deadening pads that I bought off eBay & completely covered under the back seat base & the entire boot floor including the spare wheel well, there's a definite improvement in noise reduction & well worth the modest outlay.

Now seems to be back from the dead! New V5 issued February & currently taxed.😁

Guessing this was written off & sent on its way as showing untaxed since 14th December & no longer on insurance database.

Many thanks to Colin & the team for making the magic happen, cracking forum & an invaluable source of knowledge & information.

Just stumbled across you're cure for this after 7 months of misery trying to diagnose the same fault.......& It's worked on my car!! Mine started in Febuary after having a new windscreen fitted, I have just wedged a small microfiber cloth between the pipes till the weather improves & I can fix it properly. -
Few little tweaks done, happier with the car now. :)

The blue badges look spot on! Ive just ordered 2x 90mm ones from Aliexpress this morning, hopefully they won't take months to arrive! -
Remap in North Yorkshire/ North East.

Big Fish tuning in Stokesley, had 3 cars remapped there over last ten years, highly thought of in Vag community. -
Finally managed to book my parents 18 plate Monte Carlo in for its belated second service at Pulman Skoda, cars done 4600 miles & all that is renewed are oil filter & pollen filter, & the price.........£214! Parents are retiring from driving next year so car will go back to Volkswagen finance before it's 3rd service & Mot are due.

Another tyre thread sorry...

Costco currently doing 4x 225 40 18 Michelin PS4 fitted for £287 on Hot Deals website, £33 membership at Costco if you qualify with the right job e.g. Local government NHS Police etc. -
Just had the same here for my parents 18 plate 4000 miles Citigo Monte Carlo, rang two branches of Pulman group on there behalf & both quoted £214 which I found truly breath taking considering what is replaced/checked.

If you look at the picture on Evans Halshaws website of the dashboard it says Kilometres.....
