Are the higher spec seats more comfortable?

Car won't start Immobalizer active?

If you can't charge the battery, can you get it jump started? -

Is the central locking working using the fob? -
Opening bonet with dead battery
ords replied to xyz321's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
This is the best advice, quick and easy. I'd have to do this if my car was in my garage with the passenger door almost touching the wall. -
Heater Blower Malfunction advice

Get it checked for codes. -
If you are using the sat nav now, it means you have an original Skoda card. Only Skoda cards will work. You can download the new map update from the Skoda website, delete the old files from the card (back them up 1st) and install the new files.

Brake pedal becomes slow to return

Look under the bonnet to see if there is a servo. -
Used the wrong term. No letter, just told about it when it went in for a service at a main dealer. Should have been a recall in my opinion to avoid more expensive claims for damaged gearboxes.
-
Yes. I did have it done. That's what I meant by the recall.

Mines on 65,000 miles. Only had the recall work done on it. Faultless.

Vehicle charging all over the place
ords replied to AndyBen's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'm on my original battery and S/S is always used, so have to disagree with your statement about a shortened battery life. I go along with your other point re coding. -
You seem to be well looked after insurance wise. I'd have thought the insurance company would want it repaired as soon as possible to avoid more expense. At the moment it seems you're just looking at a new mechatronic unit which is already not cheap. For them to say it's ok to drive it with the risk of having to pay out considerably more, is to me unheard of. In the Uk they always do their best to pay out as little as possible.

You're putting a demand on the battery and the alternator is just doing its job. With no demand the altenator is basically idle. That's my reasoning. -
Hope you've got that in writing.

Correct usage of DSG shift stick
ords replied to Stainesy's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
That's exactly what I do if parking on a slope as the handbrake is taking the weight of the car and not the pawl. If on the flat I just use park and don't bother with the handbrake. In traffic I leave it in drive and let the S/S do its thing. -

Not too fast, not too slow. I do mine in a second I guess -
