    Different Steering Wheels - on two octavia VRS'

    I am so confused .... I sat in my mates 2012 (maybe built in 2011) manual Octavia VRS and it didn't have the multi function steering wheel. Mine is a 2012 build, DSG and it has a MFSW ..

    Can anyone tell me why this is the case ? Was it an option ? Was there a cut off date when building ? manual vs DSG ?

    I did a bit of reading and can't quite work it out !

    Yep, manuals didn't get MFSW. Apparently if your capable of changing gears your capable of reaching for the stereo controls.

    My one and only gripe with our 08 RS, I couldn't believe it. That and Bluetooth was not offered in Oz for some odd reason until the Mk2.5

    And bluetooth wasn't standard until 2011, I assumed my FL 2010 had bluetooth when I bought it....boy was I wrong.

    Damn .. what an informative bunch haha

    How about why his earlier mk2 has front and rear sensors (with a button to turn off sensors) whilst my mk2 only has rear parking sensors ?

    Options ?

    It was an option, I have F + R, but find most don't bother. The car they had in stock had them, otherwise I wouldn't have got them and I paid no extra. In hindsight thank god they were there as they are really useful with such a low front.

    Rear parking sensors were std.
    Front parking sensors were an option.
