Hi All,

Had my new to me Skoda Octavia Sport TDI 140 55 plate for a few months and loving it. No problems other than a recent manufacturer recall/software update (which incidentally got fixed within 2 hours of the initial phone call from the service dept.) and 2 brake sensor warning faults which were quickly fixed under warranty with no fuss - different from previous experiences with a certain french manufacturer I can assure you. Anyone pondering over getting a Skoda but scared of the unknown make the jump - its well worth it! I went for mine after a glowing reference from a beaming taxi superb owner and as I have worked in the taxi sales market I know just how good that recommendation is. Just wondering if anyone else with my type can register over 62 mpg?? Not all the time but some times!:eek: If so what's your record as this has now become a firm in car favourite pastime! Also whats the best xenon lights to fit? I heard the phillips bulbs are good.

Black Magic with Pegasus Alloys, Cats Eyes and Carnuba Waxed to the hilt.

Welcome to the forum

Trypo!!

Welcome

Check your MPG properly, I seriously doubt you're getting 62mpg lol!

And you can't (legally) fit xenon lights to your car, sorry.

I'll bet the 62mpg is a trip computer figure, not a tank to tank one like I always quote!

Also, you can legally fit quartz-xenon headlight bulbs to a car supplied with tungsten or quartz-iodine ones; what is questionable is whether or not it is legal to fit plasma discharge headlights without appropriate units and the automatic leveling kit.

Hello & welcome
