I cant speak to the petrol variant, but after owning the TDI for a year (30,000km), I would have no hesitation taking it around oz. Despite what the internets say about cams in the diesels, the thing runs like a swiss watch and never faulters. I think like all VAG tdi's - service it with love, it will look after you.

Dude .... Looks fat. Love it. I'm always impressed when people do something a bit different. I can remember seeing a rotiform Allroad a while back that looked great.

X5 style 132 wheels look pretty sweet too on VAG. Like so:

Love these, how's the fuel? Had any problems with the bags? Still keen to get one!

You need to do some of this in it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DPo5BATp9o
just remember to put in S (like I didnt) so it doesnt change up too many gears :-P

Also, I found one international seller that does a touchscreen nav/BT/DVD player thats quite good and works with the allroad/stock amp etc. I got one after looking into doing an aux in mod and decided it would be worth it to have BT streaming etc. Plug and Play!

lol, yes, i've done a few offroad helli's, haha and of course it was in manual mode! To be honest, I drive a lot of the time with the tiptronic; hate autos....

they're thirsty, I average low 11's per 100 but my egt sensors are cactus so it's over fueling; i'll get them coded out with the tune... no bag issues yet although the front bags and compressor were precautionarily replaced just before I bought it :)

FUNKAMEDIC, that skoda looks amazing!
