New Car Coming!

[VRS_Dan]

I have managed to convince work to buy me a new company car so next week, I am picking up my new (65 plate) Rallye Green Octavia MK3 VRS Estate.

 

It seems to be pretty well loaded with kit so I'm one happy chappy!

 

is there anything I need to look out for, useful tips and tricks etc?

 

Pics to follow once I've collected it.

Nice one, green ones look brilliant.  You getting the DSG or Manual, also petrol or diesel?

Its a diesel manual mate. TBH, I prefer the manuals but I know a lot prefer DSG.

 

I know its got the black plus pack too so it sets the green off very nicely.

Is there a definitive list of the codes for the options so I can look through and see what is actually on the car and not miss anything?

You should be able to find a list of the option codes, as per this link: http://igorweb.org/decoder/howto.html

 

You can then type them in to get them de-coded here: http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx

I must store this options converter for future reference when my car arrives.

Thanks for the link
