Who ever thought up this stupid idea ? I've Borrowed a Kamiq for the weekend, this would certainly stop me from buying one. It's annoying at best and dangerous at worse. My Yeti is (in my opinion) a far better car.

Fabia to replace Octavia I've had 12 years
monkster posted a topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Afternoon all, I've had my Octavia 2.0tdi estate for 12 years now and I'm thinking about a newer car. Not a brand new one, maybe a year old or so. I thought about a Yeti but I'm now thinking more towards a Fabia Estate. I'm now retired and only do short journeys of 5 miles or less normally with my terriers. I'm not particularly bothered what engine's in it. What's the best model for me do you reckon ? Thanks. -
Thanks, I'll be getting a petrol manual I reckon.

Evening all, I'm going to be replacing my Octavia Estate 2.0 tdi I've had for 12 years, it's been an excellent car. Now I've retired I'm after a Yeti. I only do 6,000 miles a year what is there to look out for in a Yeti, I'll be getting a 2 year old car approx., not a new one? Thanks .

Had the car fixed by the excellent independent German Car Specialists of Doncaster 01302 890434. It was a fault in the A/C unit. -

Thanks a lot, I'll try it. -
Afternoon folks I've got a strange problem with my Octavia 2005 tdi, after about 10 miles of driving the climate control blows out hot air intermittently despite what setting the temp is set at. Previous to this it's working perfectly. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Dennis Horton & Son Ltd - Lincoln..

Horton's are indeed rubbish, they painted my Octavia (badly) on three occasions under warranty. -
Corrosion warranty claim refused

I had the same with Horton's of Lincoln, very poor. I persisted and they painted my Octavia 3 times under warranty. they will try to fob you off .. but be persistent ....not like Toyota my wife's Yaris has been sorted without fuss. My next car's a Toyota. -
Evening all, I've had my Octavia for 8 years now, an excellent car. However the climate control is behaving rather strangely .I have the temperature settings at 16 degrees both sides normally on auto, the problem is after about 10 minutes driving the air coming out of the vents suddenly gets hot. If I turn the heater settings onto the screen it stays hot.I have to turn the settings to off then on again for it to stabilize...any ideas ta.

This morning when starting my octavia 2.0 tdi the red coolant warning light illuminated. I checked the level in the tank and it was as it should be. I turned the engine off then on again and the light's not gone out. The car's running perfectly (the air temp was minus 1 at the time). Any ideas? Thanks.
