The RS.

My last jetta clocked me 169K mileage in 4 years, 10 months.

 

the dealer going to post it as pre loved..one owner.. driver by a old lady ..

It is still parked at SCS, if you had been there over the weekend.

With that type of mileage, dealer will likely scrap.

 

lets hope no henky panky

Facelift Superb 2019

 

 

 

 

For those that are wondering what are the cosmetic differences, here are the current model (Combi though)...

 

 

 

Some changes I can see:

 

- New headlight (seems to be LED)

- New foglight

- New grill design (broader frame)

- New front bumper

- New taillight

- New rear bumper

Looks good! Like the broader grilles, will look very good if dechrome.

[Nlatio]

Thought Superb is 4 doors??... new one is 5 doors!!! Got ACT boh??

[Beanoyip]

Skoda should also have option to add black pack to their cars, black out the chrome bits.. and also add Matrix light equivalent

So they can charge us 700 bucks for a 70 dollar option? No thanks.

The taillights looks a little Golf n A3 led like .. very nice .. as usual the attention to details is very good ..

Hi Skoda friends,

Been monitoring this thread quietly, and with all the advice, eventually booked and collected my Octavia last Saturday.

Initial experience has been great, though I seek advice from the various gurus in the Skoda thread relating to the rear windscreen wiper of the Octavia.

As it's been raining, I have been trying to activate my rear wiper by pushing the right lever on the steering wheel forward, like the Youtube video.  However, the wiper doesn't move. 

https://youtu.be/YQDybAEwx4Q

All other wipers work fine, including the water jets for front and rear windscreen.  I had a suspicion a fuse might have blown, so got my dashcam installer to check while he was tapping the dashcam to the fusebox. 

Checking the manual, I realise I don't even have a fuse at Slot 47, which is tagged to the rear wipers. 

I'm no expert, but I imagine without the fuse, the circuit is open, which explains why my rear wipers don't work.  My dashcam installer eventually plugged in a 20 ampere fuse, and now the wipers work.  Regardless, I'm alittle concerned if the fuse is of the right rating, and also whether I have other missing fuses which might affect safety and stability.

Skoda SE told me he doesn't know how to remove the glove box and snap a pic of the fusebox behind it (which is fair, his job is to sell cars, not trouble shoot them).  For some reason, VW Singapore doesn't want to send me a pic of the fusebox.  

So here I am seeking help.  Do other Octavia owners face the same issue.  And if you do, can let me know the fuse rating for the Slot 47 if you had to put this in yourself?   If you don't, would appreciate some of the more technical folks take a pic of your fusebox behind the glovebox (if you know how to remove it) so I can compare and have some ease of mind as I drive.   

I'm intending to bring the vehicle into Skoda for servicing but it's a rather busy two weeks for me from now to the New Year, so I thought I'd try to get some advice first before I find time.  

Any advice would be great!

My octavia RS collected a week ago does not come with rear wipers, do not ask me why.

 

But here is a pic of my fusebox, taken last week.

Hi everyone, I’m new to Skoda so hoping to get some advice on getting the Rapid Spaceback as compared to the more popular Octavia? TIA guys!

Thanks much Adrian. I think the connection at Slot 45 (electric seats) blocks the Slot 47 so I can't see the fuse rating.

 

Much appreciate this though looking at your fuses, it is quite clear the Vrs has alot more accessories than the stock Octavia :)
