OCTAVIA III Owners discussion thread

Had our original RS in for the big 105k service last week and the sales guy mentioned build is wk 2 in 2016, about where I wanted it. He reckoned it would arrive in May/June though which is odd, I would have predicted around late March/April if it gets on a boat by the end of Jan.

Anyone got approx times from when theirs was built to actual delivery? There are heaps buried in old threads, but supposedly in recent times the factory has increased output since mid year so curious as to whether it's sped up or not.

It's 2-3 months shipping. So best you can hope for really (if it's not built yet and on the boat) is 4 months.

In Australia, our orders get batched together in ~3 month lots. If you order at the end of the batch, you will get a faster turn around than ordering at the start.

I know April Is the end of one batch as I almost ordered in April, but held off a week and ended up 3 months later than I could have gotten. Dealers will not tell you this though.

I'd say 4-6 months would be likely now.

Hi all newbie here was lucky enough to purchase a my16 rs tsi dsg wagon blue with 18" blackpack and comfort pack. Collect this week was ordered as a demo but when I purchase only had 35kms. Can't wait!

I'm finding it a tad annoying on MY15 RS that when you're on sat nav mode, there is no reference to the radio station when changing, so you don't know where you're up to. You need to change your dash to view your media, then you can see it. There is plenty of room along the top of the main screen for a small bit of info like this. My rear view mirrors also do not dip on reverse, even though the option is ticked. Other than this, no complaints !

mirrors only dip if you have memory seats, which the rs does not have (only elegance/style).

I've got the same vehicle and i can see the media that is playing when sat nav is on. You have to turn on split screen in the options. Then tap on the media button. Trust me, it's there as i use it already. No mods or anything. Factory feature.

RS with comfort pack comes with leather memory heated seats and folding, dipping mirrors.

Thanks for the info. I've looked in media and nav options and can't see anything in relation to split screen? Would you be able to share the button sequence to get to split screen please? Thank you
