Have you checked the coolant level? Has it dropped? Either way, your car is under warranty - get it booked in and checked out.

Led headlights.. Beam throw length...
JulieD replied to RickTT's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
With xenon headlights you need to use diagnostics to put the car into a learning mode before physically resetting the beam alignment. If you don’t do this there is a danger you’ll damage the adjusters when the car goes through it’s self check when you put the lights on (ie where the lights lower and then raise to usual height). I suspect LED headlights will be the same. -
skoda octavia 3 Issues after key coding
JulieD replied to OndrejDr's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yes, as Sasha says your garage have inadvertently disabled some of the features when they coded the keys. Quite frankly they should be bending over backwards to get the car back in and sorted at a minimum of inconvenience to you. In your position I would ask to speak to the aftersales manager to get it sorted, and if that doesn’t get a satisfactory outcome go to Skoda Customer Services.- 4 replies

Lots of possible reasons. The only way you’ll know for sure is to have the codes read

If there was an issue with your battery stop start would not be available

I don’t think they’re a service item, just change them if they fail

I changed the interior bulbs to osram led bulbs with no issues. As for VCDS, there is a section on the forum somewhere with a map of members who have it , so you should be able to find someone local to you who could help you out.

Errors our of nowhere ? Stop-start, cruise control etc
JulieD replied to fat4l's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
The dealers have a diagnostic tool for batteries that will tell if the battery is defective or not. Provided you don’t have any non standard installations it should be a straight forward warranty job if the battery is defective. -

No point guessing, get it checked out either at the dealers or by someone with VCDS -
It's a one off charge and enables Apple Car Play, Android Auto and Mirror Link. If you don't have satnav it's well worth it.

Upgrading Lights on Early MK3 Octavia vRS
JulieD replied to Houndog1372's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I upgraded all the interior bulbs with the osram led bulbs that uchuff linked to, including the boot lights and glovebox light. Just double check the lights work after you fit the new bulb and if they don’t just turn them through 180 degrees
