Default New (ish) 4x4 Octy

Hi all,

Just got my two year old 2.0Fsi 4x4 and it's great! Unbelievably quick (no comments from the vRS brigade please). Managed 42 mpg on the motorway but only mid 30's otherwise which is a bit steep having driven diesels for a while.

Built like a tank as well. Even my rain sensor wipers seems to do what it says on the tin.


Well chuffed. Anyone else got comments on the 4x4?

What's wrong with comments from vRS owners??

Nice setup that 4x4 - wish I had it on mine!

Nothing wrong with comments from vRS owners - just thought that I'd be reminded that I'm still 50BHP down on the deal

Either way, thank for the reply.

Hello and welcome

Wonder if anyone has done a 4X4 conversion on a Fabia VRS

Hi from another older 4X4 owner.

just sprinkle some Jabba dust on it & those VRS owners will keep quiet.

Not much point on the 2.0FSI
You'll get virtually no increase in power
