Options list, sticker location
amatej replied to hirez's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
A little bit outdated topic, but In case someone is still searching for the data sticker location. From the owner's manual: "The vehicle data sticker is located on the base of the luggage compartment and is also fixed into the service schedule. It contains VIN number, vehicle type, gearbox code, paint number, interior equipment, engine output, engine code, partial vehicle description". -
Another + point for the VBF is that when you flat the rear seats you get perfectly flat and long enough space which you can use as a bed for 2 people (if you don't have much other luggage).

With seats down I managed to put in 2 bikes (29 and 26), both with front wheel off and luggage for 2 weeks holiday for 2 persons. Plenty of room left and i have variable boot floor also. If you remove both wheels it should fit in a boot even with seats up I think (not tried that since it's much easier to flat the seats).

Bass is up all the time and that's the reason why I noticed it after almost a year of ownership The Canton is also dealing very nice with all the rattles and squeeks. Seems that sloshing is occuring only at some certain amount of fuel in the tank. At the half full tank now there is no sloshing.

Nice to know I'm not the only one with this . Since it seems to be a "normal feature" of our cars I'm not going to bother a dealer about that, but it's definitely not something I would expect from a 2014 car. Still missing a "moving fuel gauge indicator in curves" feature, though Last time it did this the fuel tank was about 80% full. Have to see if sloshing depends on how much fuel is in it.

Hi, For almost a year now i'm one very happy owner of a great car, but now when honeymoon is over i'm starting to see even the slightest weaknesses. Recently, in a few occasions I noticed that a fuel sloshing (don't know if it's the right word) on my 2.0 tdi Octavia is pretty loud. You can hear it from inside as well as from the outside when the car is slightly moved (for example when it's in a gear and you push it a bit with a hand). I'm wondering if this is normal, because I don't remember noticing that in any other car I had. I can hear it also while driving over a bump or when stopping at a traffic light. Isn't the fuel tank designed in a way / divided with a few chambers to prevent it? What are other's opinions about that?

Broke so hard the hazard lights turned on?
amatej replied to JamesVRSmk3's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
My Octavia has this feature by default. Not sure, but I think it comes with LED rear lights. -
I'm on BW9 also, but i hope skoda's BW follow calendar weeks which means it would start Feb 24th.

Variable boot floor with Canton sound?
amatej replied to AnthonyDi's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Ordered estate with variable boot floot + canton and there were no problems with that. Order also succesfully accepted by factory. It's not UK ordered, but i think that doesn't matter. -
oh happy day... mine arrived, too
amatej replied to martinko's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Congrats! It looks really nice in white with denom wheels. And exactly the same car i'm expecting in a few months. What are the specs and which dealer if not a secret? I can imagine now your feelings, when you know it's parked at the dealer's yard and will be yours in a few days "Pa srecno voznjo!" -
Enabling refuel quantity in the maxidot
amatej replied to ollybroad's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
So, how can you know prior to ordering a car what functions described in the manual your car will support (except of course those part of additional options). Looks like what you see (in the manual) is not everytime what you get with your car. I'm now getting worried what other functions will be missing when i get my car. It'll be a surprise obviously :think: -
Enabling refuel quantity in the maxidot
amatej replied to ollybroad's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
As I understand displaying refuel quantity in maxidot is not a "hidden" function as it can be set via car settings in columbus. (Car -> settings -> multifunction display). See user's manual for columbus system, p.79. Also checked the manuals and It's the same with Amundsen and Bolero. Didn't pick up my new octy yet, so can't say if it's true, but it'll be nice if someone could check it.
