The engine management light is staying on. No obvious problems, car is running fine with no unusual noises. No other warning lights on. I don't have diagnostic equipment. Could it simply be that the computer needs re-setting ? What can I try ? Tks guys.

Advice pls on how to remove the window master switch on the driver armrest on my 2017 Octavia. It got wet and has failed. YouTube videos skirt over this important step. Can I simply pull it upwards out of the armrest panel or must I remove part of the armrest itself ? Don't want to cause damage by doing it wrong ! Thanks guys !

Thanks very much for the info

Apologies if this is a duplicate posting - the one I submitted a few days ago seems to have gone into the ether. I'm seeking a Workshop Manual (NOT Owner's Manual) and a maintenance schedule for my 2017 Octavia Tdi. If anyone can send links for these I'd be very grateful. Thanks chaps

Please does anyone have a maintenance schedule for a Mk 3 Octavia 1.9 Tdi and/or a workshop manual (NOT an owner's manual) ?Tks guys

Bought a Skoda Approved second hand Octavia from Bristo's in late 2022. When I got the car hime there was no MOT document so I went online to DVLA only to discover several advisories on the MOT. Including 3 tyres near wear limit and oil misting on a shock absorber. Frankly, SHOCK was what I felt after paying top price for a dealer approved car. To be fair they did agree to replace the tyres and shock absorber "under warranty" but it did shake my faith in Bristo's and would hesitate to buy from them again.

I feared it might be the matrix. Are pattern parts OK or should I cough up for a Skoda part ?

Thanks - I remember now that worked last time. But this time it hasn't done the trick (I tried the procedure several times) Is there another programming fix pls guys ?

My heater is just blowing cold air. Last time it was fixed by reprogramming the electronics controlling the vents. Can't find the procedure on here in search. Pls can someone enlighten me ? Tks guys

Thank you - this may help others as clueless as me: Select CAR on the centre console. Then select the cogs icon at bottom right of the screen. Then touch the screen to scroll up and down the various settings. I'm ecstatic at also turning off the intensely annoying "driver alert" warning that pops up at random when I'm wide awake and not dozing off 😁

My 2017 Octavia Tdi suddenly lost its computer memory. I performed a factory re-set which brought back the digital speedometer display but the central locking now unlocks only the driver's door. There may be other functions missing that I'm not aware of. Any advice welcome please.

Thanks again. I've fitted an AGM battery just like the original so I'm hoping the car will "learn" it as mentioned in the guide sent on Frb 15

Thank you. No idea how to programme the battery to the car ! Does anyone on here know how please ? Hope it doesn't have to go to a Skoda dealer !

SORTED 😁Acting on good advice on here I went for an AGM start/stop battery. Very cheap at £124.99 delivered from GSF Car Parts. Only 3 yr warranty but does the job. BTW to avoid any issues in disconnecting the battery I connected the new one to the two battery leads with jump leads until I got the old battery out. Best to have an assistant helping to avoid shorting anything out ! Thanks again fellas

That's really helpful thank you

Thank you. I don't think stop start is any benefit unless you constantly drive in city traffic - which I don't!

Car is 2017. Will post pix of battery when it stops chucking it down with rain !

Thank you. Terminal configuration is correct but no idea about what EFB or AGM means

My Octavia Mk3 2.O TDi needs a new battery. I have a good battery in stock from a previous car - Type 096 Heavy Duty - but when I try to cross check this with my Skoda using eBay, it comes up as "not suitable." Does anyone know if this is correct, or if not what battery I need ? Also, are there any issues caused to the Skoda systems by disconnecting the battery other than having to re-set the sound system code ? Thanks chaps

SOLVED ! THANKS TO A YOU TUBE VIDEO, I RECALIBRATED THE AIR VENTS AND HEATER WORKS PROPERLY 😁

Thanks very much

Coolant is correct pink colour and car has full main dealer service history so doubt it is that

I saw £193 for the matrix alone mentioned on Facebook

My 2017 TDi heater is suddenly blowing cold even at normal engine temperature. Oddly the passenger vents are delivering slightly warm air (nowhere near hot) while driver's side are stone cold. Advice gratefully received. Thanks

I am getting 2 or 3 regens every 120 miles in spite of long trips. Skoda do not provide a read-out from their diagnostic like that App and charge £132 for it. A bit steep to my mind
