What did you do to your Octavia today?

[readerr0r]

Noticed there are just identical safety vest holders under both seats and no storage box. It seems to be in some at times and not others. I do have the tech pack so not sure the Canton amp is underneath there leaving no room. Love that box in our MkII. They have also changed the shape inside the armrest box so not as many CDs fit anymore, strange thing to do really. In general a lot of those little storage nooks are gone, more than I realised.

I miss the one above the air vents, it'd always graciously open itself when I was too vigorous and the traction control came on. I called it the wanker alert.

Mine never popped open, but yes that was a really useful one, I kept the garage remote in it. Struggling to figure out where to keep that now, my with used one of the storage holes on the side of the drivers seat but they don't exist in the RS at least anymore.

I managed to get myself a fairly OEM-looking reverse camera retrofit kit for my Mk 3/5E Octavia, but don't have time/patience to do the install myself, not to mention it needing coding anyway. Does anyone know someone in/near Brisbane who has installed one who'd be able to do it?

I think this lot are in BNE Navigation Systems Australia Including BMW Models

There's also a guy on this forum - have a poke around in the GPS area

You open the key in the key fob to take off the panel next to the door handle underneath. My battery went low once on the keyless entry and just as practice I took the panel off with ease, or a nudge but it didn't damage it at all so no need to worry!

Quickly, how did you get the Lap Timer and Dimming DRL when Indicating?

You just need one of the many VCDS coder options out there, both Lap Timer and dimming DRL's are super easy to do. I used ODBEleven pro, cheapest/easiest option i could find, enabling the live traffic feed is worth doing too.

Hi guys Picked up a white 2014 RS wagon, coming from a stage 2+ mkv gti. I'm loving the high backed seats and gadgets. Already have a full resonated milltek system, cts intake and stage 2 tune. I need to tighten up the suspension, upgrade intercooler and looking at IS38 turbo upgrade i'm currently waiting on my DTM front lip to arrive from superskoda ��
Quick question whats the part number for dv+ For our cars also how is everyone finding it now that you've had it installed for awhile?

It's the T9351

Haven't noticed any difference yet but haven't done much else to the car. Awaiting my tune and exhaust (should be end of the month) that's when it will come into play.

When you install take the pipe of the back of the air box to give you more room. I found it easier to place the valve and body of the DV+ in first then put the solinoid on. But the pipe is a must or you will have no room to put it in straight. It seems like it will hold together but tilt it to far down like you need to do if you leave the pipe on it will come apart.

Thanks man, i've got a cts intake, pipe you referring to might not be there. I'll keep it in mind though

You will have something similar. The flex pipe going to the turbo that joins onto the hard pipe of the compressor housing. Either way what ever is connected between the intake and turbo get out of the way so you have a straight line in or you will end up with bits down the back and trying to Fish out little springs. good luck.

Stuff I've done so far...

Whilst not theoretically stuff I've done to my car today, it's happened over the last few weeks.
I was at Cars and Coffee in Melbourne on Saturday morning, and thought I may as well take some pictures to show progress.
I have had the car lowered on ST Springs and ST spacers to widen the stance. Also had a set of Magnaflow mufflers installed (have not taken out the resonator). You can see in the pic of the muffler, the little bit of yellow poking through from the spring.
And finally, after an unnecessarily long wait, I have put the VRS badge back on the front grill (yes I know it is offset to factory, I wanted it there).

nice offset and ride height, should've come like that standard!
Disappointing that all the engine noise comes from the front of this car, hopefully the magnaflow has done the job for you.

Here's how the wheel sits in the guard compared with mum's S3... can't let mum have a better 'stance'


today our OEM license plate LEDs arrived - paid $25 USD including freight, genuine Skoda parts and got a free 'Skoda Motorsport' wristband as well
quick install and VCDS coding and it looks much better!

I don't think I could bear any lower, these are lower than the MK2s. Sitting in my garage beside each other you really notice the differences, longer, wider and the chin sticking out the front means you have to be really careful with gutters and those parking concrete blocks, its lost about 20cm front room if you can't get over it. The extra length means its a tad trickier already, with the shortness of the Mk2 it didn't matter so much. The poke of those machined bits on the rims though means they are all gonna be scuffed, a very light touch in mine last week ground off metal, the tyre is level with those so no protection there.
