My rear door speakers don't work. Never have. Booked it in for a service--I reckon a year is long enough--but no service indicator showing yet.

Told them speakers are dead and the answer was-------------------"Of course, you haven't got any."

WHAT? " You don't need them so they don't fit em. You can have them if you want but they are extras and take quite a bit of fitting."

Octavia TDI 105 bhp Trend (ambient to you)

Is this normal?Is the UK the same? Or are they just having a laugh?

Have the january 2006 Brochure in front of me.

Ambient Octavia. 6cd changer and 4 additional speakers standard fitment.

Think of the reduction in fuel consumption, from the lower weight from not having the rear speakers )

I have rear speakers in my 1.9 TDi Ambiente Hatch. Make sure it wasn't because it was the Trend special edition. Sometimes they cut corners where they think you won't notice, in order to lower forecourt prices
