Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hey HPRS230

    thanks for that I would like to see how you've got it mounted in the car.
    What can you read on the screen is it a simple plug and play of do you need to do VCDS/ VagCom mod's to enable it??

    thanks and I can't wait to pick it up.

        I saw this car in person yesterday, it's stunning. We were 2 geeks comparing what is different on the 230 to the regular, a good way to spend the afternoon. Also the list of controllers on this car is about 25% more than mine, it's loaded!

                    Oh no lol

                    The Diff setting was on Standard, but you could feel it work.


                    Changing to Strong transformed the Car in to a real Beast!
                    I would guess the 'Hot SEAT (280hp)' in europe has this as standard!

                      I think your thread would be easier to follow if you put updates and new photos in new posts, rather than adding them to the first post...
                      Anyway, Merry Christmas

                        Roger that pjam73

                        Blacked out the front badges, peeled off the front Skoda logo as I got black all around the PPF cuts.
                        Will need to work out how to get it out before I re-apply to Front logo.

                            Wheel alignment

                            Active Cruise re-cal

                              I've been offline and can't find where else you mentioned it, but what is up with the center speaker? And why oil and filter change, there is no 1000/1500km service, Skoda/VW don't do them so hoping the dealer isn't charging. I know a some do it as a check over but the oil I've been told repeatedly not to change early.

                                1st Service...

                                Canton Center Speaker started to rattle around 2500 rpm
                                See around post #13
                                Bad dashboard rattle - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 onward) - BRISKODA
                                I can only take there word for it as was motorway driving home. but didn't notice..

                                Oil & Filter at 1000-1500km
                                I requested this in the contract when I bought our RS.
                                The reply was "can do that, never done before."
                                Also requested a cylinder compression test and a full wheel alignment.
                                Same reply as as above. ie never done before.

                                I asked for the filter, photos below.
                                Service Guy said engines are run in from factory, and he looked at the paperwork funny when he seen 1000km oil & filter...
                                They wouldn't keep the oil for me

                                Normal - Good - Bad - Ugly ?
