Sound deadening done. Makes a noticable difference to road noise from the rear.

Basser got back to me, they can supply box, but I have to mod it for TW3. Not particularly hard (a hand router a...

A dry clutch DSG will be similar, yes - Except its turning 2 sets of shafts (not 1). Wet clutch DSG (the "reliable" one) will suffer some additional windage losses also (in addition to the losses...

Considered that perhaps the test hasn't been updated for manual yet? Previous test was extremely flawed (for autos) in that it forced a manual to drive similar to real world, but allowed autos to...

That cant possibly be true ("Manuals cant be made to meet the emissions testing"). Real world, manuals have used less than autos since the dawn of time (and therefore less emissions with same...

Basser got back to me (I asked about shipping to place the order). The box needs some minor mods to fit a TW3 sub in it. Waiting on feedback on if they can match it for me first.

Going to attempt...

Hi all - thought i'd post this here also as a public service for members here.

Skoda Octavia Canton Subwoofer Upgrade - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 onward) - BRISKODA

Essentially a guy that...

Theres a great how to on the briskoda forums. I have the footwell lighting kit and some green LED's to replace the footwell lights but have just never gotten around to it

Any guides? The one in the alfa was a 5-10 min job and easy. guide made it that easy though as there were a couple of "tricks" to do it.

Alignment, until I can find someone to do a decent one near...

Thanks for replying. Car booked for 27 Dec, which isnt ideal but earliest it could get in.

Asking to get cabin air filter, brakes flushed and wheel alignment done at the same time. We are doing...

I'm a huge fan of michelin PS3's. Now the PS4 has come out, PS3's in those sizes are quite competitively priced, and offer a great balance of performance and quiet, along with a decent lifespan.

I...

Cracking response here.......

Going to try Peter Warren at liverpool, which is closest to me. It's the final "in warranty" service (45k service at 25k lol). Nothing wrong with the car, everything...

Hi,
My octavia is up for it's 3rd service soon. Picked it up 12/12/14 so its also the end of warranty check. Would like to get a towbar installed also.

I'm at Picnic Point, so preferably someone...

Might have something to do with more advanced stability control? That would be my guess.

I use economycarrentals.com and hired a car in the USA for cheap. From what I hear on whirlpool, its one of the cheapest places to hire from all insurances etc included.

You do take the boot space...

+1 on battery. They throw up all sorts of weird errors. Take it to someone with a proper battery tester and see how it goes. Has it been replaced at all or is it still on OEM one?

Anyone had one fitted recently? Looking for both our mk3 octavia and our alfa 159. Be nice if it was a euro place that could do it, and go for a deal.

Only want to tow a box trailer or jetski, and...

Hey mate just posted a thread asking for help - any chance you can help me out? Brother is at berrinba and needs coding for replacement parts

Brother is currently in Sydney at three moment and has his 2.0T a5 in pieces. Had replaced diff etc and apparently you need to register parts? Can anyone in Sydney region help me out with coding?

You can wedge a 2032 battery in there to give longer life than the factory one. I did that on ours and touch wood, its 18 months since and all good so far.

I'd like to drive mine more - we only...

Wow, only just saw this thread as i've gone back to lurker :)

Car in sig, but I live in inner Brisbane and see other octavia's all the time :)

Thanks. Have had a read, and it looks like he really improved the setup, with at least $1K + labour just for the sub/amp setup he has.

That box from basser looks interesting, and there are plenty...

Could you use that sub box upgrade and rip out the canton sub and replace with that? I find the canton in my car underwhelming (from a sub perspective) and no where near as good as the hatch with...

Had the car serviced for the second time (30K) yesterday. Only had 18.5k on the clock, so time based. Since moving inner city, we are doing way less k's. Still love the car, everything runs perfect...

Don't get me wrong, there's a nick here or there on that rubber (just a whisp that you can notice getting right up close) but unless you are specifically looking for that, with your head right next...

Woofy, there is a thin rubber strip all around the inside - it is the inside that you are interested in right? Agree its hard to see in those photos, but tint does go all the way down to the rubber,...
