hi,

i'm currently looking for an octavia vRS around a 2003 model. could somebody post me a pic of the dash illumination on the standard car as this is an important factor for me

thanks

adam

can nobody help?

I can tell you the lighting is green and the needles on the dials are red ....but I sold mine a few weeks back so no piccy

Some camera phone pics of my 2005 Octy vRs estate.

I think a 2003 model is the same - but I'm sure someone will correct me if not.

Pics taken around 8.20 this morning, so getting fairly light, but hope they help.

Note that dash will not be lit unless headlights are on though. Makes it a bugger to see the black-on-grey lcd displays

I always have my headlights on anyway - recommended in NL, and in some countries it's the law (seem to remember Scandinavian ones, but who knows )

Side effects of having your lights on are that you can see the dash properly, and that you are clearly visible to other road users, and bulbs don't cost that much

Andy, thats a nicely spec'd VRs. Heated seats and Cruise

And at night time you can't really see the silver sections of speedo and rev counter. Looks even cooler

interested to find out why its such an important factor for you...

And now the whole world knows I hard a warm bum on the way to work this morning!

thanks for that folks especially the pics. i do a lot of night time driving and i was hoping the dash would be as good as my mates vw touran. i think its better which has really pleased me.

again, cheers folks
