Couple of Octavia vRS questions

[CalvinE]

Hi,

 

I have just purchased a 2017 Facelift Octavia vRS TDi from a main dealer and it seems to have some bits missing that I would like to buy to make it complete, but I'm not sure what they are or if they are even available to purchase new.

 

I'd be grateful if another owner could shed some light of the following:

 

In the passenger glove box there are some clips on the right that have nothing in it.

There is a tray under the passenger seat, I managed to google that and it looks like there should be an umbrella there.

In the boot, I have empty spaces that I presume the first aid kit and warning triangle was there as the securing straps are undone.

The car doesn't have a spare wheel but the previous owner has kindly removed everything here too, just leaving a black foam tray with various empty compartments. Probably jack, wheel brace, etc.

 

I can never understand we people remove all this stuff before they sell their car, especially when it only has one previous owner, perhaps trying to raise a few extra quid on Ebay maybe.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Calvin

Are the clips in the glovebox not for holding a pen?

You don’t get a first aid kit or triangle in the Uk.

If no spare wheel you should only have gunk and a compressor. Jack etc is only supplied with spare wheel option.

All of the things that are "missing" are options. If they could the dealers would probably charge you £5 for the air in each tyre at the time of purchase.

 

Under seat is for high vis jacket.

I use the rear elastic straps for a can of deicer in the colder months, fits perfectly.

 

I got a space saver wheel thrown in for free when I bought my car as I didn't want the gunk as it renders the tyre useless once it's inside and done it's one-time job.

 

I think only the L&K came with umbrellas and even those (I think) are stowed in the door panel somewhere?

What year is your VRS? The umbrella was introduced as a running change.

I feel like going down the dealership tomorrow and demanding my brolly...it's been 4yrs like so I'll probably get laughed out of the showroom!

The VRS245 had it under the passenger seat in August 2017 like mine.

[Phil245]

Yes..... mine's a 2019.

No umbrella in my 2016 VRS, umbrella present in my MY19. So that narrows it down 🤣

We used the under seat brolly in the wife's Karoq yesterday as we voted in the pouring rain. It never stopped all day. Surprised Corbyn didn't blame the bad weather for his party's poor performance.

[JamiePvrs]

I use mine all the time!!!

It has been very wet in Sheffield and Nottingham according to the Met Office.

My Karoq came  with a brolly, looks like it cost about 50p to make (flimsy's not the word) ! I wonder how much Skoda charge for a replacement?

If that was Paris you did well to escape before the revolting started.
