No more Skoda in Solitaire.
Jarvis is in the process of changing a Ford yard into a new Skoda yard.
The Superb 206 will get the new 7spd when the Passat 206 does.
Ten years.
We don't have a brake light switch like Japanese cars; its all done by brake pressure. You need to push it down a little further when there's no vacuum so that the sensors can detect movement of a...
If its a failure of the unit; it'll be covered.
Take it into your local Skoda dealer and they'll be able to sort it out for you.
Very cool!
You should come up to one of the Sydney meets, when we have the next one. ;)
(P.S. Your photos are the wrong way round!)
Wow, the Arteon weighs as much as a Kodiaq! Thats crazy!
Thats what I thought too; but the Superb's extra size and different setup cause it to be a completely different car. Much more of a luxury cruiser and you don't get any of the hot-hatch-ness that you...
Can confirm the 3-pot Fabia is a hoot!
The 4-pot is a lot of fun and sounds great, but the 3-pot is simply next level. I'm in love and if I needed a new car I'd have already put a deposit on one. I...
No, the torque of the engine.
The DSG6 is officially rated at 400Nm (in MQB); the DSG7 dry is 250Nm (always has been); the DSG7 wet is around 650Nm.
It won't let the stop/start restart the engine if the seat belt is off or the door is open.
I've seen all the back end stuff; and at places like Toyota - yeah, sure, totally; huge margins and lots of money going around!
Its incredible just how much Skoda doesn't make!
Its worse when people come into the showroom pointing at the bait ads (Fully loaded RS for $50k!) point at it and say "I want that!"
Mate with the amount of money we make on them you can have $500...
A couple have landed over on AuSkoda
We've got a lot of orders arriving December/January so I'm not surprised not many are on here yet.
VR5 is from the Mk4 Golf chassis; if it was a Mk5 or Mk6 it'd be a helluvalot easier... Theoretically doable; but not worth it.
Golf R drivetrain; or even a Mk5 R32 drivetrain would be the way to...
A fully optioned RS169TSI Wagon is in the region of $55k driveaway.
Cheaper purchase, better warranty, cheaper servicing, better features, build quality, and cornering than a Golf GTI.
Only get...
RS169TSI is wet clutch 6spd DSG (350Nm)
RS180TSI is wet clutch 7spd DSG (370Nm)
110TSI is dry clutch 7spd DSG (250Nm)
Not all of us are useless. ;)
Why not consider a TDI Kodiaq with the 2yr extended warranty, then? $64-odd-k for full options with 7yrs warranty!
The interior build quality in the Disco Sport I don't think is up to par with the...
I'd look at a reputable Volkswagen shop.
I go to CamdenGTI, they did my TDI big turbo build and the owner (Matt) is a diesel nut.
There are a couple of theories to this - one being that the Australian heat makes it beneficial to remove the heat insulation; another being that no insulation = more noise on the vRS.
My 125TDI RS...
Yes, you're right! Sorry - duh!
RS245 is apparently getting the new 7spd wet clutch gearbox that is slowly trickling down into the rest of the VAG range!
And yes, the centre muffler in the RS230...
Basically it boils down to this:
MY17 RS 162TSI now = MY18 RS169TSI
MY17 RS230 169TSI now = MY18 RS245 180TSI
162kW = 220HP / 169kW = 230HP / 180kW = 245HP
The RS230/RS245 have blacked out...
It appears as though they've blocked me, I don't know why!
I think I'll stay in AuSkoda
CANBUS reads the speed as exact, the dash just shows a certain percentage higher than what the car knows its doing.
