I love that shade of red that Skoda use. It looks really deep and lustrous, and even better in the metal!
Enjoy your new car!

Re: Upgraded from Mk1 Octy to this.....

Did they find out what was up with the MK I or just offer you a good price instead?

Well they replaced the 4 intercooler hoses and seals as they were oil contaminated but didn,t really make much difference.The car still has slippy clutch and last night the front brakes began to bind like hell as it shreeks as i drive along now.So happy this is going in a week.Just hope the MK2 lasts longer

I hope your MK II is better.

Never really heard of anything mechanically going wrong on the Mk2 105PD seems to be a much better engine.(Famous last words)

Looks a nice motor. Hopefully it will run well! Which was your previous Octy, the SDi or a TDi?

edit: intercooler hoses on an SDi . . mmm, I need to go to bed, connections aren't being made in my head

Re: Upgraded from Mk1 Octy to this.....

Looking at those wheels on this car they do look a bit uninteresting.Does anyone think the same?

They look a lot easier to clean when you don't have time to clean cars than some I've seen.......

I'd say they look "normal", but given they undoubtably have cheaper tyres than larger fancier wheels, I would have thought it's a boon in your job.
