Hi All

 

i popped my Skoda cherry last week after a harrowing experience purchasing a Golf GTD Estate, which I later rejected. Picked up this Octavia VRS TDI from a local non-franchise centre.

 

I’m no stranger to the VW group - this being my 10th VW Group car.

 

I don’t know why I’ve not looked at these sooner! Loving the extra space over the Golf GTE I had previously, and already managed to trip to and from the West Country. Some nice touches, and good quality - I’m converted! 

 

She’s already been treated to some Maxton bits, and I’m sure there will be more to come as I just can’t leave anything alone……

 

I can see this forum being really useful for some retrofits :)

Thanks!

 

and pooch is the reason I needed a wagon - She has lymphoma and has a buggy (no laughing) for days when she doesn’t want to walk that far but still get a bit of social.

 

That, coupled with parents and in-laws at opposite ends of the country, meant space was very much needed!

 

so pleased with the Octavia so far, really don’t know why I didn’t look at them sooner!

Well she's gonna be riding in style from now on then!  Yes the Octavia has lots going for it without the cost of Audi/VW. they go like stink the VRS, better handling than my "family" SEL DsG, but hey I would not get a VRS down some of the access roads I have to negotiate for work.. 

 

FYI, I see you're in East Sussex, I'm just outside Brighton, PM me if you wish for  VCDS mods below, I'm a fully registered user both here and on other forums. Minimal fees for Briskoda members. 

 

See the list of mods for our cars here...I've done quite a few on my own and other members cars. 

 

 

Best Regards

Ah cool - I’ll have a flick through the list l.

 

ive actually got VCDS and ODB11 so I think I’m pretty well covered. The previous owner clearly had some knowledge (or knew someone) as there were quite a few features activated already!
