Hello,

 

I have just joined having changed cars from a 1999 V reg Audi A6 1.9TDI estate to a 2005 05 reg Skoda Octavia 2.0Tdi estate.

 

I am looking for help and advice!

 

I intend to modify or upgrade the car with the following,

 

Stereo (bog end Stream needs to go)

 

Steel wheels (what are the Alloy options)

 

Cruise Control.....

 

I am a huge Genesis fan (the group) dont let that put you off....

 

I look forward to making contact with people.

 

Regards

 

Mark

Hi Mark - Welcome to the forum.

 

Most of the mods listed are common and covered on the forum for sure.... 

Samuir,

 

Thank you kindly for the introduction...

 

Some mods might have to wait until October but for the mean while I am having the car serviced on Thursday next week, having just read

a thread about how difficult it is to fit new bulbs to the head lights I might get these guys to do it as part of the service.

 

I need to know if the alloy wheel option will make for a smoother ride than the steel wheel option....

 

I know how good cruise control can be, a former friend fitted it to my 1995 Audi A6.

 

As for Stereo, I could just get a Stream MP3 and a Code for it..... or should I put that money towards a Bolero?

 

Regards

Hi Mark....

 

I had the Stream and upgraded to Columbus on my old Mk2.

Not really used the Bolero but sure it would be a good move.

 

On cruise control - i think some guys on here are proficient;

but i used a company called Hazzydayz for some updates and coding.

 

Hope this helps - but detail can be found in the correct subsections of the forum...

 

Cheers,
Ste.

Ste,

 

The only reason I wouldnt go to Columbus would be the price.... but if I were going to consider it I suspect I would want it to work with a mobile phone, 

I believe this would then mean having a mic installed in the A pillar and a Canbus upgrade.

 

It heads to a realm of areas I am not so confident in.

 

Hazzydayz.... I think I have read good things about them, I know my local independent Audi/Vw/Skoda Garage does such work also

(The Lion Garage in Hinckley).

 

Thank you for letting me know.

 

Regards
