Hello fellow Skoda drivers, peace to all of you.

 

It's good to be back with a group of normal people, no one-upmanship with this manufacturer. After many years away from Skoda, and this forum, I've just purchased a used mk3 Octavia vrs estate in black magic. It's a diesel. I've previously owned 2x corrida red Fabia vRS' and a mk2 Octavia vRS. Since then, I've owned 16 BMW's (the nicest of which was a 430bhp 340i with MPPSK), 4 Audi's, a VW and a Seat. I must admit, the Octavia feels really good.

 

One thing which did catch me out was that the MY14 models don't come with cruise control as standard. I'll definitely be needing it. I'm sure there are retrofit options available but do I need to go through Skoda or can anyone recommend another company that can offer this retrofit?

 

I look forward to catching up on content, learning more about the car and hopefully not putting a hole in my wallet with mods

Welcome back to Briskoda Ahmed and you have certainly been busy driving lots of different cars since you left us. Personally as it is safety related I would get a dealer to carry out the cruise control retrofit.

Thanks, I'll get in touch with them for a quote.

 

Looks like some mods may have messed about with my signature as I've been away for a while

A warm welcome back to the Forum Ahmed !
