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

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.😁

Car now up for auction on Synetiq salvage website as a category S write off.

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.

The blue badges look spot on! Ive just ordered 2x 90mm ones from Aliexpress this morning, hopefully they won't take months to arrive!

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.

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.....

24000 miles equates to 39000 kilometres.....I'm guessing someone has accidentally changed the settings on maxidot display....mystery solved!

It's got Clifford car sales number plate surrounds on it, looks like they are based in Londonderry, might be worth giving them a ring to help with the cars history.

Hope everyone is ok, think it may be terminal for you're Octy though.

I have seen this type of switch on a couple of Superbs in the past & they both had been owned by highways/motorway maintenance company's & the switch was for a flashing roof beacon.

Mines a 14 plate & defo ain't got sat nav...not sure when or if it came as standard.

You have dodged a bullet with the L&K at Evans Halshaw! Absolute dog that was entered into Manheim auctions Washington on 12th August & failed to sell for four weeks....bit of a mystery how EH ended up with it, can only guess they are desperate for stock!

Welcome back! It's like the Mafia you never leave.....

Gone, left out for the scrapman.

Swan neck Bosal towbar & genuine Westfalia/Skoda 7 pin electrics to fit Mk1 Fabia year 2000 to 2007, electrics simply plug into rear lights with no butchering of wires, collection only from Sunderland Tyne & Wear, way to heavy to post so please don't ask....

Octavia Vrs make good money at auction,in May I went after NL64GXB a race blue ex Lex lease estate with heated seats full main stealer history & 104000 miles at BCA Newcastle,CAP clean at the time was £6750-7000,online bidding started at £7000 & the car sold for £8000!! On top of this are over £600 worth of buying fees, car now has an export marker against it so I'm guessing it's living its days out in Ireland....
