What did you do to your Octavia today?

[Fizz]

dang that sux! hopefully it will be fixed soon

Anyone looked into upgrading their HDD for jukebox? I cant seem to find anything as yet which is odd. Would have thought that it would be a common upgrade

Ouch ... that sux.

Did the wombat have insurance ?

Nup, uninsured and unregistered wombat. Just my luck

Oh...the pain!! How long have you had your RS for?
Somebody managed to scratch mine the day I picked the car up. Needless to say I was pretty pissed off about it 😠

It will be 2 years in October. Bummer with your scratch , I know how you feel. On the first day I drove mine, the front bumper sustained some paint damage and a dent from a rock propelled by a truck in front.

On the bright side, at least I'll have a shiny new lower front end

Enjoy your RS, I've already driven over 55000K and still enjoying the drive.

I did the RS colour pinstripes on the grill today. Nice little break up of colour. I had seen a few people had done it to their skoda's and I liked the look.

nice! looks better with the thinner line rather than the whole fin being coloured.

I looked into doing it, then promptly forgot it. Activated the traffic but at the time we had trouble getting the boot button inside and the keyfob to work so gave up.

Looks like you've got some good use out of your RS. I've barely driven mine over 3.000km albeit 8 months old now.

That looks real nice - subtle with a splash of colour. Where did you get the stuff to do it?
It looks like I have the same RS as you do, bought from the same place as well, same colour and all but mine are the 18 inches. How do you find the ride on the 19's?

I noticed that my glove box light was not working and was never working since I bought my RS, so took it in to Artarmon Skoda to get it fixed.

Was pleased that it was very quickly resolved with no hassle under warranty and they gave me an Octavia wagon as a loaner for a few hours. What was not so pleasing was the complimentary car wash with inevitable "scratch" on my left mirror. Why you got to leave a mark on my mirror, Artarmon?


Having driven the standard Octavia for a few hours I must say I'm glad I stepped up to an RS. I'm not sure if it was the smaller engine, 7 speed DSG, turbo lag, or the fact it was a demo car, or a combination of the above, but the standard Octavia sure felt sluggish off the mark.

Argh !? Fair scratch !!
