Wow that's over a 10k mile average. What on earth do you do with it? Drive everywhere in 1st and 2nd?!

holy cr4p!

It's all about the smiles per mile baby & there's been quite a few smiles !!!

 

Burns very little oil though, do you think it need to go to an AA Meet or two, it just might have a George Best complex

I'm a Postman so, I don't travel in traffic hence, I can be a little exuberant from time to time. 12mpg will generally mean, I WAS ON IT good job it's only 12 mile journey to work but, there's always the coming back too !!!!!!

As well as auto lights the "engine mode" you select affects AFS at least on my 2014 VRS if you select Eco mode (buttons above gear stick) then at AFS lights don't move.
You need to be in Normal for some movement as you go round bends and if you select sport mode they move more.

 

On a 2016 model not sure if you have this option may be in infotainment unit?

 

 

Hi Stephen,

 

Thats very interesting - I didn’t know that the engine mode switch altered the AFS!

 

I have the switches you mention so I’ll have a fiddle. Never thought that the engine mode would alter the lights!

 

Thanks

It doesn’t have to, you can set it in individual. It does it to lower power draw very slightly. I like the AFS so I have the lights on Sport. Very nice

Gulp, 20.4 that'd scare my plastic into melt down mode.

But I bet you have far more fun .

 

So I wasn't that far out with a 1.4 about double the mpg compared to a vRS.

Not really, my 36k miles average on the 1.4 TSI was 30.9mpg so, I'm figuring the 245vRS at 10k miles average is 24.5mpg & is exceptionally fuel efficient !!!!!!

Hi Sahsa,

 

Can you tell me where the setting is please?  I've looked through all the menu options and I couldn't see it.

 

Thanks in advance,

Press the Mode button and the screen should display Eco, Normal, Sport and Individual. You can press somewhere in the top right corner to customise the settings.

[ZaphodB]

Thanks.  I'l try that.

 

Cheers,

 

Zaph

 

EDIT:  On the 'Eco' option (the one I use) It didn't allow to change the 'Dynamic Cornering Light'.  Selecting 'Normal', 'Sport' or 'Individual', you can turn this option on or off.

 

Selecting 'Individual', I can set most options to 'Eco', 'Normal' or 'Sport' and turn the 'Dynamic Cornering Light' on or off - so I have set it to 'Individual' with @Dynamic Cornering Light' set to on.  I'll see what effect this has next time I am out at night.

 

Thanks for your help

You can only customise Individual though can’t you?

[SashaGrace]

Yes, you can only customise in individual.

Would be around a 64 plate, SE Spec, what does everyone else think?

 

Everyone here seems to have VRS model!

 

Also what sort of appearance mods are out there for regular Octavia's?

 

just fitted the boot fin to mine.  75 quid from CZ.  But more to have painted and fitted.  

1.4 tsi already had similar performance to the wiesel vrs. I

 I get 57 mpg from mine which I just use for longer journeys. Mine is a DEL and DSG  too.

Looking for 17 or 18 wheels but with the potholed roads thinking twice despite their poor looks.
