I'm kind of cheating here cause I don't actually have a Skoda....................... Yet!

Don't worry, It's ordered though :)

Brand spanking new Octavia 1.9TDI Laurin & Klement Hatchback in Black Magic Pearl with Onyx leather interior. :thumbup:

Should get it 3rd March 2006.

This'll be my first Skoda so if anyone has any hints, tips, advice, suggestions or whatever, please let me know - it'd be most appreciated!

Cheers All

Paul

Welcome to Briskoda. That is a nice car you have on order. :D

Very nice! Welcome aboard! :)

Suggestions . . . . . remap, green panel filter, freeflow exhaust . . . . :D

Is that engine a 100 or 130 bhp engine? If it's the PD100, a dragon tuning box for about £250 will give you about 30% increase in power for 10 mins fitting. Well worth it! :)

hi. and welcome. :thumbup:

Welcome :)

3rd March eh? Time to get your wishlist sorted then ;)

If it's not being too nosey, what are you replacing?

Best

Hi, sorry all, I reposted my "Hi All" thread in the Maintenance & Performance New Octavia section and forgot about checking back here.

Ok, here goes,

DGW & Octav.ed: Cheers for the welcomes.

Yashicamat: The 1.9TDI is the 105bhp engine, I would have liked the 2.0TDI, but it's a company car and the ESP package took me up to my spend limit.

Heresmo: Current car is an '03 Vaux Vectra 2.0TDI, however then Vauxhall's diesel engines weren't the common rail type jobbies you get nowdays, It's ok for motorway use, but generally a bit slow. The 1.9TDI PD will wee all over the Veccy :D

Later,

Paul

Hi all again....

Quick update now i've got my new Octavia......

I LOVE it. :thumbup:

It is way better than my old veccy in every way possible.

The heated seats are amazing, the parking sensors are brill, I bloody love it.

Also, if anyone is interested, my tomtom go 300 sits very nicely wedged in the storage compartment on the top of the dash (with a little bit of help from some velcro stickers)

The good thing about this is that when I park up and take the tomtom out, there is no nasty looking suction bracket on the window to advertise that there's a tomtom in the car.

He-he! Roll on summer :D

ooooohhh! Sounds nice.

Welcome to the site :D
