Hi all. Just bought a 13 plate Octavia 2.0Tdi Estate, and looking for some help on some questions I have.  Been looking into the site for a few months as an unregistered lurker...I know, it's a dirty habit, but you should see whats going on over at the VW forums!!

Anyway, long story short. We are losing the wife's work car, a Vauxhall Adam, so decided we wanted something a bit bigger to replace it. Have spent a few weeks looking around at a few motors, Ford Focus/Mondeo's, Passat, Audi's, etc. Looked at a couple of MkII's, even looked at a couple of Superbs, but eventually found a MkIII fairly local and in tidy condition. So collected today and apart from the slightly dog smell it's all looking good. The wife will be using it for her commute. I'll be staying with our Abarth 595 for my shorter commute, so the Octavia is going to be my big comfy evening and weekend toy, might not even ride a motorbike this weekend! 😔.

I'm off to post my first question, so thanks for looking at my first post and thanks in advance for all your knowledge an help.

 

Hi and welcome to Briskoda, Rob!
