I am not entirely sure - never driven one with actual mechanical LSD but I reckon that it makes hell of difference on the track but not that much in day to day driving.Originally posted by golfage View Post'17 MY18 Skoda Octavia vRS 169Wagon | Quartz Grey | DSG | Tech Pack | Luxury Pack | Panoramic Sunroof | Electric Tailgate

In the Skoda range, the Octavia RS is the "sports car" and the Superb is the "luxury executive car" - throw a big engine in the Superb (206 4x4) and it makes an okay sports car, but would be more aimed at "GT" sort of driving, than endless winding roads.Originally posted by Gerrycan View Post
The Mk3 RS230 has the electronically controlled LSD (not heat based, is an actual LSD but reacts quicker than Quaife style due to electronic actuation)Originally posted by golfage View Post
The Mk3.5 RS245 will have this LSD setup, as well as all the other Mk3 RS230 goodies like black wheels, black exhaust tips, etc.

Pacific Motors isnt too bad. EA in warriewood is ok but a trek!Originally posted by Undecided View PostYup, spoke to a dealer he said the same thing... I ended up biting the bullet and getting a MY17 with 6000km with everything except Comfort pack. Couldn't really justify the extra 12-15K the new one would cost me in the end. Will put that extra money to good use though!
Anyone in Sydney recommends a place where I should get my Skoda serviced? I was using our local Midas for the old car without a problem but it was a Mazda not sure if the Skoda will need anyone a bit more aware of its needs.Comment
