I've got a FL vrs with the Amundsen system and was looking at a VC upgrade, the official ones are £1.5k but I see some on AliExpress for a lot less, though the information is bad and the codes don't seem to completely match what I see recommended here, or they do match but say it's for the superb, I don't know if the part is the same for both?

 

Has anyone used a VC from there or bought one and realised they're rubbish? Just wondering if it is worth the risk or not.

Based on these links:

- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004717676841.html

 

They suggest:

- it will show a Superb not an Octavia

- both the speed/fuel level will be off by 10%

- there is a trip reset button which might make finding a suitable trim piece harder

 

Based on that, I would not fit one to my car...

However this one appears to be for the Octavia 3

However the part code is 3VD and I saw on here that 3VO is for Octavia 3? but I'm not sure.

 

I'm also not sure what these are like, surely someone on here has tried one

3VD is a Chinese Superb... That link still has the trip reset button so is not an Octavia cluster. 3V0 would be a normal Superb.

 

An Octavia part would start 5E0. Namely 5E0920790 or 5E0920790A 👍

 

I think a Chinese Octavia might have 5ED part.

Thanks, will look for that code.
