No fuel tank lock or remote release is weird.

In the Mark 2 Octavia, the fuel hatch is locked when you lock the doors.

Lots of people here seem to come from Subaru's. Especially since subaru stopped making mostly good cars, and only had a few good ones now (compared to rest of market).

I didn't realise that until recently, it seemed like the Octavia is the logical choice to prev gen Subaru owners. We are replacing our MY07 Liberty with the Octavia RS.

In other news.. my unicorn was born last week!! still waiting for a ship!

I don't know about KESSY but with remotes if you have it set to just open for the driver and want all you press unlock twice. Is there a way to tap the door handle twice?

It's linked to keys btw, on our mk2 mine unlocks just the driver, my wife's does all.

Same tyres Ian.

Cheers for your thoughts. Seems the H6 Liberty was a proper luxury sports car of its day if you could ignore the fact it detonated engines frequently....

Mine's done 220k without detonating Kwicks ! Nanna driving FTW !

And as GTR described, there were some downsides (Although Nanna driving helped with that as well !).
RS scheduled for pickup Friday, Looking forward to it.

I had 4 engines Matt. Didn't seem to matter if it was Subaru apprentices or the local mechanic servicing them, they each saw a couple off. Big end bearings. I drive the first one pretty hard - cruises and the like but no race tracks, the second similarly and the third like it was a baby. Same result. By the way, it had 229000 on it when I parted with it. Single longest engine life was sub 100000km. Here's hoping the EA888 is tougher than the EZ30R!

Hey Kwicks. I have vcds and in Melb. Once I get my Octy sussed we can have a play.

Wow, Lots of Subie refugees ! Reinforces what I thought when I ordered. The Octy is the natural followup for the Liberty Gen4 !

Wow. I must have been lucky and got a good one. I do know of others that had issues though.

The h6 had lots of oil consumption issues too didn't it? Like 1.4 twin charged levels of consumption?

Regardless. I think Subaru have started to make changes, to get back where they were. More competition is always good.

High oil consumption on some. Especially early years. Again mine was rock solid. I think the issues were related. If oil levels low then detonation possible, threads galore on club.liberty !

Anyway. Enough JDM rubbish. We are onto the full Euro experience now !
