Not sure if anyone is interested but parking sensors are availalbe now for the Octavia 2. Using the same brilliant 'Cobra' kit as SEAT use (we also use them as a genuineMazda accessory) they are pretty easy to fit and can be colour coded to match the bumper. Ive included a few pictures for you to check out, dont look to bad even if I do say so myself.

Prices may well vary so have a word with your dealer if you interested.

Please give us a ball park figure for supply and fitting?

Regards

Are these the same as for the Octavia 1?

You could fit them to the Octavia 1 but they arent the same as the accessory Octavia 1 kit.

Had a letter from Mitchells today about garage fitted extras,

this kit is listed at £148.03 and £289.03 fitted.

If its easy to fit does £141 sound right for fitting!! me thinks not. But they do have a spanking new workshop to pay for!

Oh, they quote £117.50 for a dog guard, £17.50 MORE than the rrp. but they would give 10% off.

hmmmm.................

me smells a rip off

£141 sounds pretty good for fitting. I charge our sales dept two hours to fit including painting. Labour at retail is £75 plus VAT per hour so that would be about right.

If you have to take the bumper off and a fair bit of trim like the other Skoda kits then I would say 2 hours is pretty good.

Bumper stays where it is but the boot trims etc have to come out. The book time is 1.50 hours for fitting the kit, I add an extra half hour for prepping and painting the sensors.

I take it these sensors dont connect up to the stream units display?

No they dont.

My local dealer fitted them and painted them 9 months ago for £195. Must admit they're fantastic- don't even need to look where I'm going when I reverse now. A monkey could reverse park the car now!

What is the Cobra kit part number? I would be interested in these for my wifes new Passat B6 with CAN BUS. Does this use a relay off the reversing lights?

Doesnt use a relay, the feed for the parking sensor unit comes off of the reversing light at the clutster.

Doesnt tie in or effect CAN BUS.
