Love the white wagon... especially with those wheels Now if it was with the haldex 4wd I would consider dropping the Yoda...

The wheels remind me of a Holden Clubsport wagon and the body like an Audi.

Desperate for one!!

I'm with you on that!!!

Yup, the new vRS is power capped - the GTi has an additional 7kW......similar to what it is now - 147 vs 155.
One has tune A, the other tune B.

BTW.....That link provides a good read on the new vRS.

Its all bragging rights, a Skoda cant appear to have more than a VW. I m sure if you put them on a Dyno they d be the same.

My TDI125 pulls 136kW/361Nm on the dyno...
Excuse me Mr Mk3 vRS TDI

true, skoda can't be seeing have the same, or better figures, than vw - hence the different ecu tunes

they'll dyno different.
the GTI has the CCZB.
the vRS has the CCZA.
u'll c this on the build plate & engine identification.

the A & B in the CCZ define what software tune the ECU gets.
A = 147 kW
B = 155 kW

but because both have the same engine, performing a ecu tune will see both end up having the same figures.
for eg, with an apr stg 1 tune, both the GTi & the vRS will end up having 189kW, and the same torque.



back on the mk3 vRS, now we sit and wait to see how skodavw australia will spec as standard, and options we'll get.
last i heard, november this year we should c it on our shores.

Wonder if the update of this new 2014 model will have keyless start? Perhaps keyless entry too? Anyone know if VW do this?

Also, cigarette lighter near gear box? Could have been a start button?

Ohhhhhh, the volume scroll on the steering wheel?! Why??? Why can't it be a button setup like in my new Polo GTI!! Or the new confusing version in the new Golf..

Also, what's with the red reflector strip along the back of the Combi? I'd want to get rid of it!

But I do want this as my next car! But again, I want an SUV... Ughhhh so many choices

On the Czech website it has Kessy as an option. Probably would be an option here too and not std. With competition including it on 20k cars though they might include it as std.

It's a 12v power outlet in this country. AFAIK Skodas in Australia have never been offered with cigarette lighters or ash trays as standard.

If you zoom right in on what appears to be an ignition switch on the steering column it looks like it is not actually a switch. It appears to have three lines of text on it. I suspect that in this picture at least this car is fitted with a start/stop switch.

What do you have in the hole in yours? We have a lighter and I'm pretty sure an ash tray. Maybe they removed them in the FL.
