Hi, My name is Eddie Buckley I live near Newbury. I 've just bought an Octavia estate on an 04 Plate .Ist registered on 30/07/04. Its a 1.9TDi 96 KW Version which I bought from the local Mazda Dealership. I traded in a VR6 with 135K on it. Only done one long run ini t so far and apparently got 52mpg... very impressed.
I also own an 88 944 Turbo . It a rare beast being a white (from new) Silver Rose. Normally they are a pink metallic colour. its been chipped but apart from that is a standard car 280BHP on the rollers in Silverstone
Question... I would like to fit cruise control to the Octavia what are the options and costs. Is it viable to get the local Skoda Dealer to fit OE ?

Welcome Eddie.

Is you car a MK1 or a MK2?

MK1 isn't too bad if you are a little bit handy with the tools and you'll need to get it coded, ideally by somone with VAG-COM.

If it's a MKII then you need to know what you are doing with it. Ideally you need a main dealer or somone that knows how to do it for you.

Hello and welcome.
For cruise control, its well worth contacting VRStu on here, or through his website at Octavia-vrs.com.
Should save you a few quid compared with your local stealer!

Oops - beaten to it by the man himself!
