1.0 SE Tech DSG - finally arrived
Bidey replied to gRoberts's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have the 1.2 DSG and you have to learn how to work with Start /stop. i had some issues originally 2 1/2 years ago! But now love and S/S and the smoothness of the car and getting up to speed etc. Try the "launch" mode i.e. in cruise control temp switch off, then after slowing down rengage and it will drive upto preset speed rapidly!! ;<) -

Wheel alignment, 2 versus 4 wheel?
Bidey replied to Bidey's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Hi Gerry,Excuse my ignorance, is the Octavia "Torsion bar rear" as wheel wear at rear appears even, does this mean simple front 2 wheel alignment? -
Advice request, My car i discovered (at dealer service ) has bad inside tyre wear/scrub (see photo) and dealer says needs alignment done, price quoted is £60 +VAT. Do Skoda dealers normally do 2 or 4 wheel alignment? Does a front wheel drive need 4 wheels done? (2 is cheaper obviously) i.e. back tyres are showing even wear?

Sounds like a great idea to add tax to petrol, those that use road and or drive like top gear fastest lap should pay
