Yes but only the Octavia Scout and the new FL but only the 1.8TSi (for the FL not the Scout) :happy2:

Doesn't have to be a Scout to have 4WD. :P

They did a pre-facelift FSI with 4x4 and also a 1.8TSI I believe.

Erm read my post Ian

I said a Scout and the FL in 1.8TSi they never did the Pre FL in 4x4 :booty:

Unless your referring to the Mark 1 in which case I stand corrected and they did indeed :happy2:

They also made the mk1 octy with the 1.8t non fsi which had 4x4 but not sure it was haldex? I would have thought it was though.

my mate just sold his EVO 8.  He had it running about 400Hp,

He said he could deal with the fuel economy, but paying 300-400 for a service every 3-4 months was killing him, all the money he never spent each month went into the servicing and running costs for the car.  He's just bought a 330i instead

Its FSi, not TFSi so you would also have to swap the turbo.

I dont think it would be too hard to just get a rear diff with frame, gearbox and prop and just make the vRS into a 4WD.

If I keep mine for a while then it will go 4WD.

you need to modify the centre exhaust channel to accommodate the transmission gubbins to the rear of the car

You could just get all the scout tanks, boot flooring and tank.  Id love a k04 octavia vRS with haldex.  the perfect car for me
