New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[dArK5HaD0w]

1. The DSG is an updated version of the one found in the Mk1 & Mk2. It's a reliable box with no issues being reported from mk7 GTI drivers. Shifts alot smoother than the dsg in the mk6 GTI.

i don't have proof, but i'm sure the dsg6 used in the golf-mk7 / octavia-mk3 is the same dsg6 that was used with the golf-mk6 / octavia-mk2, i.e. the DQ250.
the actual dsg software tune might have been changed/modified for the mk7, but the dsg hardware is the same.

also - the mk1 octavia did not have dsg. they only came with manual/automatic.

You don't think the DQ250 would have incremental hardware changes/evolution over 5 plus years?

As long as it's reliable without adding more headaches, should be fine with it.

Also, I keep reading about delays in DSG, if I read correctly, that's because the DSG pre selects second gear when we are moving from still ?

So do I have to change the habit of depressing accelerator immediately after releasing brake, in order to give DSG time?

I would think it has had changes in both hardware & software but it's like Win8, Win 8.1 rather than WinXP, Win8.1.

I don't think the mechanical changes have been as drastic as from my 2007 EA888 to the current Gen3 EA888.

also - the mk1 octavia did not have dsg. they only came with manual/automatic.

I assumed he meant pre-FL & FL. It didn't even occur to me that he actually meant MK1

There must be some changes mechanically because those early mechatronics units were a nightmare.

Gold coast VW/skoda are one service centre, audi is across the road but not sure about servicing but i assume it would be seperate

Bryant Burt service centre VW/Skoda in Wishart(brisbane)

Newcastle does Audi/Skoda as well.

It's nothing like the "You'll be able to take your Skoda to any VW service centre" that was hinted at by VW/Skoda in the early days.

Central Coast was good on price, no experience of dealership otherwise. Trivett was also close in price enough to save you the drive.

There are plenty of good independents in Sydney who can service your Skoda. Depending on which part of the megalopolis you live there are various recommendations.

Hey mate. Do you mind to recommend one near Liverpool (or south-west is fine).

I only found vwvillage / Ramspeed..

Cheers.

Started the process with my broker today.

A little undecided on whether to go 18" or 19". I think the car looks better with the 19"s but I'm not sure how it will ride.

Not sure there are any with 19's here? They would have to be aftermarket I guess.

[occy]

I've got the 18s and they are fine except on coarse bitumen, there is no way I'd get 19s.

[K4neX]

Same here, test drove one in elegance trim with 18" wheels, bit rough to my liking, 19" is going to be horrid.

Tried going through a broker.Got a better deal independently.He kept on trying to steer me to a sv6 sportswgon.

.He kept on trying to steer me to a sv6 sportswgon.

Most likely good kickbacks in it for him.

Just do it yourself. It's not that hard. Have a realistic price your happy to pay offer less than that ( not huge amounts otherwise the dealer will laugh at you) then come up to your price. When they won't come down any more as for stuff like tinting etc to be thrown in.
