Proud new Octy VRs owner!

Greetings Briskodians! I'm now into my second week of ownership of my beautiful Octy VRs diesel. What a great car! Love just about everything about it. Had a MK II Elegance in 2004 - 2008 as a company car and loved it. I then foolishly chose a Honda Accord 2.2 diesel, which was awful. A couple of random career moves made a new car out of reach, but I always wanted another Octy. 2014 put me back in the market and having set myself a budget and looked at lots of race blue DSG MkII's I ended up blowing the budget and getting a manual candy white MKIII!

I dipped in & out of the Briskoda forum a few times when I had my last Octy. Great place to be for everything Skoda!

BTW.... when I say 'just about everything', my only criticism is the sound quality of the Amundsen+ DAB audio. My last car (Passat) only had the basic RCD300 with a Phatnoise Phatbox DMS connected to. It sounded incredible. Would welcome any suggestions on what can be done to improve it. Cheers

Octavia Scout Mk3 Rear Suspension

wallacebob · 25 January, 20215 yr

I have always thought my rear suspension a little soft when towing or even with a full tank. I fitted rubber assisters and this has helped hugely but I would like a little more permanent solution. How can I tell if springs such as these - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lesjofors/9735347 are heavier duty? It does say for towing. Would fitting new shocks (Bilstein B6?) help as well? I suppose crawling under to see what shocks I have, and what springs I have may a good idea anyway? I think the

Wheel Bolts for Alloys v Steels

Odinson · 12 June12 Jun

Hi all, finally got around to getting some new shoes ordered for the girl. I'm getting a set of Hankook Ventus Evo K137 235/45 ZR18 98Y XL put onto the Pegasus alloys. I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature? I was looking on autodoc to try and order some nuts as I didn't know how often they

I really don't understand skoda in terms of rear lights. Why make diferent version of light at the back. My kodiaq is the selection version and came with a black trim in the trunk (instead of the tailight trim) , i dont mind but the thing that bugs me is the trunk left and right stop that don't light up .I know this is not a kodiaq only thing, the superb is on the same page. The thing that i would like to ask is if they have leds in them or not, and if it is a thing that cold be activated via o
