New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[MarkRSWagon]

My manual wagon: TMBKC7NE2E0xxxxxx

According to Skoda's website all RS Octavia's come standard with 9 airbags. The VIN decoder says I have 7 airbags and I have ordered a wagon panoramic sunroof. I didn't realise until now that they must omit curtain airbags to allow for the the pano roof (or do they just change the airbag number code to 7 to indicate a pano roofed car?). Your VIN indicates 7 airbags as well ..did you order a pano roof?

No, but I don't have an RS either. Just a lowly Ambition

Hi just got back from looking over the MY15 Skoda RS Combi white with keyless entry push start, Black Pack and Canton. The VIN is TMBKK9NEIF0025803 but when is searched it came back not valid.

Škoda Octavia III Combi RS 2.0 TDI 135kw
model year 2015, production number 025803
9x airbag, production plant Mladá Boleslav (CZ)
The entered VIN is not valid!

Well we've just put the money down for a standard RS wagon in silver. The only option that it comes with is the auto boot. I found a white wagon at Newcastle with the 19" wheels that I didn't want for $44k and they had a Steel Grey manual there for $46.
We paid $40 drive away
From the ringing around I've done and from hearing other people getting their cars it looks like our order didn't go in when we placed the order back in April. Not happy with the dealer but I'm not going to turn back the $40k price. We'll get the goodies when we order the markIV
We'll pick up the car on Friday.
Next thing to work out is where to get the car rechipped. A different topic I know but any suggestions?

I have asked that How to get RS Chipped Question and no one has done one was the answer. I am referring to the TDI by the way!

My Ambition Plus 103 TSI Hatchback DSG 2014 Vin TMBBC7NE4E0 ,4th letter B = Hatchback if K = Combi wagon.
E after the 4 =2014 if F = 2015 ,Letter C is engine code , Brochure has Ambition Plus with 9 airbags but my VIN has 7.
Polo GTEye N9 Try number 1 between E & F

The EA888 in the RS is the same engine as the Mk7 GTI so any tune for it will work for the RS.

APR have one: APR 2.0 TSI Generation 3 ECU Upgrade

Recode are doing them as well: https://www.facebook.com/RecodeTuning

Just to name a couple.

Who told you that rubbish?

I need some guidance, when signing a Purchase Order/Contract or Offer to Purchase how much deposit are you buyers required or agreeing to place in cash with the dealers? It may vary of course.

And what sort of option out clauses has anyone inserted in?

Would you for instance if you were told it would take 9 months to delivery, if it went past nine months, thereafter you could request a full refund or a courtesy car until delivery? Or should it be along the line of the dealer promises a build date of January 2015 and they fail that, you can request a full refund? Any other clauses you can suggest that offer a option out?

What do you buyers think?

I am at the point of staking my claim on a MY15 vRS DSG Wagon in White with Tech Pack with RVC and telling the dealer/s here, to deal or no deal?

Wife still keen on a MY15 130TDI Tiguan...... there about the same RRP $$$$
