I've got moisture droplets that sit on the boot seal. There is smell of damp must. I've checked my spare wheel well that has condensation droplets in it. I have only had the car (octavia cr tdi vrs fl 2010) since Tuesday evening and used the rear wiper once. I haven't checked the wiper feed line connection nor the vent on the right of the boot lining behind the carpet flap. Is this a common issue on Octavias ?

Wire loom / connector replaced by dm keith on drivers door for the issue with water damage on original locking connection. I got the car on Tuesday evening. So far I love it. Great car to drive.

Thanks for replies. Decided I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. I hold all the cards at this point and I'm in a good postion to barter for reduced service costs etc.

I was due to collect my 2010 octy today but it's been postposoned following a lack of being able to lock the car by fob or key due to a short caused by water ingress on the drivers door. D M Keith have known about sorting out this issue for a week. They have tried to repair it but it's not worked and they have only just found out today when moving it out for my collection. Am I in my rights to request that a brand new locking circuit unit is fitted and that ingress measures are put in place (plastic film) to reassure me or should I pull the sale? Any advise welcomed.

Looks to be a water breach in to the circuit board box for the alarm central locking. As a result the car wont lock. I have been advised by a friend to request a complete replacement unit with plastics to prevent ingress again. D M Keith suggested the car door just needed to dry out and point of water entry resolved but that would mean retaining the old water damaged unit. Any advise welcomed as this could be a deal breaker. Thanks

Due to collect my mk2 2010 Octavia CR TDI VRS this afternoon. No wait...D M Keith have just called to say they have an issue with water ingress on the drivers door which is preventing the central locking from working. They've known about replacing the transponder unit on the door for a week... After typing water ingress into a search on this forum it is very apparent that with a lack of rain gutters on anything that opens on the Octavia mk2 is going to cause issues like the one I now have to incur. I'm still in my 14 day cooling period. What do you guys and gals recommend or advise. Should I run away, hope it's a one off or join the Skoda revolution?

Hi everyone. Bit excited about collecting and owning a 60 plate 43k mk11Skoda Octavia Cr TDI VRS 2.0. The transponder on drivers door doesn't work but that's being fixed. Cam belt being replaced. Pads and discs too. Chopped in a 1 series BMW as need the space with two under 4's in back. Been reading a lot on this forum. Hope to glean and share information over next few years. Cheers OcttyVrs82
