Have had the Octavia LB 1.6 TDI Style DSG now almost three weeks and driven just under 1200km. The style trim level in Finland is a pretty good match with what I wanted (Xenon lights with afs, front and back parking sensors, colour maxi dot, bolero, heated front seats, folding mirrors, climatronic, drive mode selection, etc. etc.) added just the ACC and Winter Pack, which here includes heated windscreen, heated rear seats, fabric carpets and the Webasto auxiliary heater. In general really like the car. Interior and boot space were one criteria on selecting Octavia. No disappointments there at all. I'm 6'5 and find the standard seat perfectly usable. Support for thigh could be a bit better, but I seldomly drive more than 250km at one go for which the seat is fine. Performance was bit of a concern, but have been positively surprised. It's a little more noisy than would prefer, but then I have studded winter tyres and the roads here are not the smoothest either. Bolero sound quality isn't that impressive, but fine for my needs. Will have to fill up a couple of more times to really form an opinion about the fuel consumption. But I already think that the tank is just too small, especially as the aux heater will not start if fuel warning light is lit. DSG is smooth most of the time, but in the parking lots I dearly miss the torque converter automatic I had in my -95 Volvo. ACC is just plain great. Also the auxiliary heater works well. Can turn it on with remote while at home or sitting by my desk at the office. Using it pretty much whenever the outdoor temperature is below +5C. Bluetooth connectivity works well. Got also the Android Auto and SmartGate working with, my Xperia Z3 tablet at first try. Haven't used much those though. In general find it to be of very good value. Would choose again. The 5.5 month wait was a bit annoying though. Never got any explanation for the delay.

Did you get T91 or T91R remote. Just asking as some sources say that only the R-version will work. The fuse that you are looking for is number seven in the dash fuse panel. If you have LHD vehicle, you find the fuse panel behind the small storage compartment left from the steering wheel. Removing the box takes some force, but it's still much easier to remove/re-apply this box than the glove box in the RHD vehicles. The manual shows the fuse layout and how to access those. So the one you are looking for is "Air conditioning, heating, recipient of the wireless remote control for auxiliary heating, selector lever of the automatic transmission", which is the above mentioned fuse 7.
