2014 Octavia VRS diesel starting problem
skodafang replied to K123's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yeah and in my case the update made no difference whatsoever. -
Occasional starting problems!
skodafang replied to Pete3616's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have to say in my case the software update did nothing to improve this. I got them to double check and they said it was all up to date. -
vRS TDi occasionaly slow to fire up.

Still over cranking a lot. -
Cold start issue on TDI?
skodafang replied to VRSrobster's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Mine still does it after update. I think the software update was 320F over cranking. -
Just had mine done and cambelt . 14 plate VRS diesel.

I also agree having driven an Octy with a non coded towbar system in my opinion its not worth the risk. But each to there own of course.

Throttle flat spot issues?
skodafang replied to 6xsteve's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have given up with it. I sent mine to the dealer on several occasions had all the available updates and pursued it with Skoda UK. They were helpful but offered no solution. It bugs the hell out of me and it shouldn't do it but I have learned to try to ignore it. The car goes soon anyway and I won't be having another. -

Mine is still over cranking. So the update has made no difference to mine. -

Servicing - Main Dealer Vs Specialist...
skodafang replied to sniperpenguin's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
You pay your money and you take your choice. I run a large fleet and have never had any warranty issues including good will outside of warranty. However that might be because of the money we spend. If it was my car I still would use independent servicing rather than dealer but as I sad before that's just my opinion. I wouldn't criticise anyone for using a main dealer. -

To be honest I don't trust main dealers never have. I would go independent . Others may have a different view however. -

According to dealers it doesn't happen. -
No Service books anymore I am afraid. You can buy one from the dealer.
