Octy VRs & dashboard indicators

Jonno VRs · 16-10-2006, 19:46

Can anyone tell me whether the VRs should have the following dashboard indicators:

- Windscreen washer fluid low
- Cruise control on

Mine has neither but I don't know whether it is due to a fault. The washer fluid indicator, I assume, is standard on all octavias; and on most new cars come to that.

The cruise control on indicator has symbol on the speedo dial I think but it doesn't come on.

Can someone with a VRs tell me please?

Thanks

Your washer fluid sensor must be broken, should alert thru Maxidot.
My cruise controll light if i have any has never shown itself so maybe there isnt any.

The cruise control light only works if you have an 07 model Octy (ie June 2006 onwards factory build)

Mine is a 06 november and i dont have it. Maybe its a programmable thingy thru VAGCOM that was left out only for us Swedes!?

Maybe - all I know is that in June Skoda announced it was a new feature. Either your car was produced before June, or, as with many things, whether or not it works is dependent on the country.

There is a light for cruise control on new Octy's? That'd be cool - where does it show? Mine's going to be an 07 model so with any luck it'll have this feature then!

As per the original post in this thread - it's within the speedo.

See this thread for more details on the light.

If you need a light on the dash to remind you you're using cruise control somethings wrong.....

... and please don't drive behind me
