Hatchback not unlocking with key
When you just press it, it only unlocks the hatch and you need to use the handle to release the catch and lift the hatch. A long press and the hatch "pops" open. It took me a long time to find that feature.

Hi From the UK, owner of a misbehaving Octavia MK3
You're looking for the "driving data" menu, then you can scroll through the various readings until you find "oil temp" If you don't have MFSW, then use the rocker switch on the end of the right stalk to find the "driving data" menu, then use the same switch to scroll.

Help deciding on which mk3 estate
The smaller engined cars use the DQ200 7 speed DSG box which does not require servicing or oil changes. It's up to the owners if they want to change the oils at regular intervals. I haven't touched mine and its been fault free.
