    Can anyone shed some light on a potential issue I have. Have the columbus nav though it seems I'm missing tracks on my sd card. Is there a limit to how many are displayed? I've looked for certain tracks to no avail. They're all in MP3 format

      How many folders deep are they?

      On my Bolero it just wants to look at one folder at a time - seems it's very basic at file management on the SD

        No folders. I've searched for some by artist, title without any luck and have the song come on during the shuffle playlist.

            According to the Colombus manual it says "In the title / folder list a maximum of 1000 files / folders are displayed alphabetically"

                I thought so too, but renamed them just in case.

                This sounds more plausible, though if true sucks as its a 32gb card full of songs.

                    I've booked my Octavia VRS dsg (mk3) for its first service. The Skoda website capped price servicing amount for the 15K/12 months: $423.00 (Capped Price Service - Å KODA). I thought this was pretty steep so I had a look at the VW Golf GTi. The GTi is $390 for the same service. What a cheek! Skoda is supposed to be the value brand! The thing that annoys me the most is the dealer I'm taking it to sells both Skoda and VW, so they are pricing exactly the same engine and transmission at different amounts. The brake fluid and pollen filter replacements were also cheaper for the VW.

                    Has anyone else come across the same discrepancy? I'm thinking of printing out the amounts and showing it to them at the service centre to ask for an explanation and price match. Do you think a price match is reasonable?

                      Capped is about the MOST you should pay. IIRC the mk2 service schedule followed Audi's schedule, not VW's which meant more things were replaced earlier (pollen filters etc).

                      There's never any harm asking for it cheaper. The minor service is really a glorified oil change. $100 for VW504/507 oil and filter, with the rest profit is a bit rich.

                          So glad I don't take my car anywhere near a stealer for servicing.

                            If it helps you at all, when I get mine I will be taking it to Charles at the VW center in Belconnen. He said he can do the servicing and it will probably be cheaper.

                            HA Stealer, I have never had a good experience with a dealer for service / repair. They charge you an arm and a leg and sometimes tell you they cant fix it even when they don't try.

                              I have had good service from both dealers and independent specialists for my previous Octavia diesel, the main difference being the independent was much cheaper and a really good source of info on what needed to be done and when.
                              Now I have a new Octavia 3 with fixed price servicing, the price difference is less, so it seems best that I take it to the dealer for servicing especially if I have anything I want looked at under warranty.

                                If anyone is interested, while browsing briskoda I got this link. It's online access to the new models service manual. You have to pay, but at least you can get info!
