    My wife took delivery of her Octavia at the start of May and I got mine at the start of June and the Welcome Packs both turned up together last week.

    Forgot to mention that I gor two copies of the Octavia hard cover book as well. You don't often see a hard cover advertising brochure showing all the features which you have already discovered in the three months before it arrived.

    Same here. Delivery June, welcome packs and book last week on separate deliveries.
    Boat with books must have arrived, hope it had cars as well for some of the other punters.

    Just an update: I had mentioned in an earlier post that my DSG was jerky in normal mode. This has now disappeared after 3,000 km and I'm now quite happy with the smoothness of the transmission in normal mode. Guess its a matter of the computer learning driving style.

    Took me a little time to work out the difference between ACC, City Emergency Braking and Front Assist etc I'm still not 100% but this is what I've found.

    The Octavia has three Assistant based systems. Radar Based Assistants, Camera based Assistants and Sensor Based Assistants.

    In Australia we get
    1. Radar Assistants: Front Assistant and Adaptive Cruise Assistant and
    2. Sensor Based Assistants: Crew Protect Assistant and Driver Activity Assistant
    but not 3. Camera Based Assistants: Lane Assistant, Intelligent Light Assistant and Traffic Sign Recognition.

    City Emergency Braking is a function of Front Assist (not ACC) and operates between 5 and 34km/h.

    To see how they work check this link: Å*KODA Octavia - Assistants - Å*KODA

    Can anyone shed some light on a potential issue I have. Have the columbus nav though it seems I'm missing tracks on my sd card. Is there a limit to how many are displayed? I've looked for certain tracks to no avail. They're all in MP3 format

    How many folders deep are they?

    On my Bolero it just wants to look at one folder at a time - seems it's very basic at file management on the SD

    No folders. I've searched for some by artist, title without any luck and have the song come on during the shuffle playlist.

    According to the Colombus manual it says "In the title / folder list a maximum of 1000 files / folders are displayed alphabetically"
