  • Had a Jetta with 2.0TDI as loaner when mine in for repairs and now seriously considering diesel RS as I couldn't believe how well it went! Serious punch in midrange and apart from some diesel clatter at idle very quiet and smooth - could be seriously quick machine (especially with tune)

      Anyone know if the sound system in the RS (Canton) has Digital Radio? DAB+? I know UK spec has it.

        Not available here, a few people complain about it dropping out in the UK models anyway

              Yes the Octavia RS diesel is the only car now being brought into Australia with the 135kW/380Nm engine from the Golf GTD.

              So this is definitely the one to get if you're looking at a diesel.

                • Was it a $600 option? Hah! Wasn't even paying attention but it's part of the tech pack... So all good.

                  • So, no issues with the EA888 2.0 litre engine?

                    • It's good news that no issues are being reported by the Golf GTI guys running the EA888. And it's even better news that VW are continuing with it in other models. Unlike my 3.0 H6 Subaru which repeatedly exploded for me. And never went into another thing.

                          Good!

                          I heard about the Mecan.

                          And that Golf R 4000 car will keep the engine and they just tune it!



                          I just enquired about APRing the Octavia. Want to know prices and if/ how it might or won't void my warranty

                            Passat gets close with its 130kw/380Nm

                              Excellent - definitely on the shortlist

                              • Had an Octavia Elegance Wagon (Tech Pack, Alaris wheels, power tailgate) 132 TSI for a week now and very, very impressed. We also have a current model 2.0L TSI 147 Highline Jetta in the family (also EA888 ), and if anything the 1.8 in the Skoda is smoother and has more pep than the 2.0 in the Jetta. I can only imagine how good the RS 2.0L unit is. The 7 speed DSG in the Octavia is definitely better than the 6 speed DSG in the Jetta (less laggy, and changes up and down faster in and out of corners).
