4 day old RS

[spud75]

Picked up the new wagon 4 days ago with 21km on the odo. Race blue, manual Tdi, factory - leather, tint, mdi. I thought long and hard about the black neptune wheels which were no cost option. Ended up staying stock silver. The red stitching wasn no cost option too but not available with factory leather. Might put it on the mfsw though. I am thinking smooth leather with red stitching for the mfsw.

Ordered last october, built jan 2013, complianced in feb 2013. I couldn't wait the 18+ months for the new RS. I am more than happy with what i now have. Planned mods start with MFSW. Then hacking rns510 for tv and changing maxidot to display current engaged gear.

How many other 2013 octy's are out there?

Factory tint isnt that dark, but in different light it looks pretty good.



Still has the RS embedded in the leather



Am hoping that consumption improves. It is a diesel after all.......

Looks like they're mail attachments; can you move them to a file hosting site? Google+ might work if the privacy setting are ok.

I use Facebook and just extract the raw image URL... The album that they are in is actually 100% private!!

What is your consumption atm? My fuel light just came on after 875km

I have managed to share a few links which should work.

I dont use facebook much, I log in about once every 3 months? I have even managed to have a facebook account without an associated email address.

Fuel atm is 12.5l/100km

That is a record compliance and shipping.....have you checked the plates? I'd be surprised its not built 2012.

Over 75,000km in my vRS Diesel manual (hatch) I am averaging 6.4l/100km. Country driving easily takes it down into the mid-high 5l/100km range and I have never been higher than 7l/100 km over a whole tank.

It would be the quickest 2013 delivery ever if it is a 2013 factory build.

VIN search comes up 2013 and skoda were doing their last right hand drive build run in Jan. how else do you tell when it was actually built?

Compliance plate says feb/2013.

I had to order the car pre nov '12 to make the cut off for the jan build run.

and I have never been higher than 7l/100 km over a whole tank.

I have... But I DID attend a track day on that tank. And pre-drove the May 19th drive day run...

Managed to use half the fuel Martin did at the end of the day, doing a comparable number of laps! (1/8th tank used compared to 1/4)
