Hi guys/gals, i'm considering a Skoda to replace my Vectra, am thinking about either the Octavia 1.8t (possibly 4x4 estate) or the VRS (2000-2002 models). I've NO idea about spec levels as i've been in vxls since i passed my driving test.

I'm used to the cdx/elite spec lvl, which generally includes climate control/aircon, cruise control, leather seats, if possible i would like these on my next car.

Hoping you experts could give me a run down on spec levels and engines to go for/stear clear of. If i need ot ask this question elsewhere, could a moderator point me in to the right forum.

Cheers in advance,

Duncan

Hello & welcome

You will be better off posting the questions in the Octavia area of the forum as more people will be able to help you as not everybody looks on this area!

Welcome

If you want all the toys you need to go for either an Elegance spec, these come with either 1.9 Tdi or 150bhp 1.8 turbo engines or the vRS or vRS WRC edition spec, both of these come with the 180bhp 1.8 turbo engine.

No option to Fade Speakers front to back on Infotainment

MankoBranko · 21 hours ago21 hr

Hi, I recently bought a '22 Kamiq and found that the rear speakers aren't working. When I go to the Sound > Position section of the infotainment screen, I have the cross on the screen and I am able to fade the speakers left to right, however there are no arrows on the vertical axis and you cannot fade the speakers front to back. I have tried a Hard and Factory reset but this does not fix the issue. I have briefly read that maybe this means a wire is bust or a speaker is broken which is cau

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · 7 hours ago7 hr

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Door card trim clips

Door card trim clips

Binx1310 · Tuesday at 22:313 days

Hi. Can someone send me an aliexpress/ Amazon link or OEM part number for the correct plastic door card trim fittings please? I broke a couple when fitting my speakers and there were enough left intact to put the door card back on but I’m planning on removing the door cards again for an upcoming project so it would be handy to have a few spare to replace the missing ones and just in case some more go. Thanks!
