Yes, fun isn't it.
Which Facebook group?
Auskoda I think it is called. Started by a lady who has never been in here.
The most unfortunate part of the exercise is a non-understanding that the regulatory requirements for import of products into OZ means that the details change from the requirements for other countries.
NZ is a law upon itself really. They are too small to be bothered making their own standards so they just use other countries. In some cases like with imported veges etc they allow a lot more than we do, but then onsell those things to our market avoiding our rules. I'm sure VIC could just buy the Oz version which could be sold in both countries and elsewhere. Not sure what the cost of getting that ADR sticker included would be though.
Hmm yes.. I see what you mean now... Uninformed/Irresponsible/clueless vendor digging himself further and further into a hole..
I read all the posts re installing towbar on my 2018 Octavia RS169 and thought this can't be so hard
Purchased a kit from Eurotowbars Queensland and had my bar and ekit delivered from Poland
All was OK getting the bumper etc off etc and was ready to install the towbar when I found to get at the bolt holes you have to drop the rear end of the exhaust system and the heat shields. Nowhere is this mentioned in any posts I found.
It seems that Skoda has made it as difficult as possible for someone to install the bar themselves.
If I was ever to install another towbar on an Octavia I am sure it would go a lot smoother and faster but I doubt I will tackle it again :-)
You have a mk3. All the posts here would be for a mK2.Quote:
