Octavia vRS 245 lease thread

[Steve vRS]

I like the noise.

Quite on here..... guessing everyone is now enjoying their motors ? Anyone had any issues ? Not had any myself really, only one of dials seems to change now and again when you have the sport info on. Does my head in !!

The Apple play connectivity sometimes refuses to work but ironically I then prefer the media interface to the phone to play music from than the App. Is there a way to disable Apple play?

Also my headlights do the little dance on start up but I’ve not seen them move during driving.

Had a few minor issues with mine, such as a weird rumbling sound from the left speaker on sport mode, and some loose trim.

The trim they sorted, rumbling noise they couldnt find, so i just changed the setting on individual to match, and reduced the background sound thing - seems to have fixed it.

2500 miles in, and im quite liking the car - more than i thought i would! I have kerbed 3 wheels though as the silver bit sticks out just enough to grind the kerb....

Don’t blame the wheels!

My diesel vrs estate (12 months old) does that too - changes from showing speed to either one position up on down on the driving data menu, especially when the engine restarts from stop/start. It's as if I've caught the right hand roller by mistake (I haven't).

Annoys the living st out of me for about 3 seconds, then I forget it happened.

I have the PSI, oil temp and water temp dials on, on the sports info and it's always the PSI one that seems to change on its own now and again.... Annoying ! I've noticed the fog lights coming on when turning corners but hard to tell if the headlights are moving... I'm 6k mileage in and loving it.

Hi all,

Has anyone ordered recently. Im trying to decide between Personal Lease and PCP. Can anyone give me an idea what deals they got and where from? Im looking at preferable 3+24 but open to 3+36.

Cheers

Got mine from National Vehicle Solutions.
VRS 245

£2400 initial
£176 month
3yr deal

I think you'll struggle getting cheap deals on these now, not seen any since these back in Sept-Nov.

Wouldn't bother with PCP personally unless you have loads a wonga !!

Love the motor though !!

Not bad, did you go for any options over standard?

[bluenosewrx]

Think mine was 3=23 8k miles @£243 but i put tyres and maintenance on as well which made it more than that now, i've had it 7 months and only done 1800 miles.

No fees from Horton Skoda

moving jobs this month so will put a lot more on.

Nope all standard, red, saloon manual.

Had the coolant warning light on otherday, checked it out and it had dropped near the lower level. Topped up no dramas.

Slide thread revival, but I've just seen my car is due for its first year service soon (it arrived early February last year). Has anyone had any quotes for their first service yet?

First service on variable (mine was 18.5k) cost me £249 from Skoda Harlow, though mine is the diesel DSG.

£250. Ouch!

I'm gonna check exactly when mine is due tonight and see if I can get it booked in. I've tried the Skoda site and the cost quoted from my nearest dealer (Citygate) was £179. That's for a petrol DSG.

[dayc666]

Does the service go off mileage or annual 12 months ?

[JuanGandini]

^^^ That's what I'm not sure about as my car is saying first oil service due in 8,100 miles or 89 days. That'd take it to c. 14 months after it arrived new at my house.

How many miles would that have covered then adding on 8k ? Mines covered nearly 10k now and 12months isn't till April !

I'm only on 3K so the car is estimating a service is due after ~11K miles (my job changed after I got the car and I can now walk to work instead, hence the low mileage!)
