Thanks. I am in NW London and the only London forum users with the kit are on opposite side across London.

Thanks for your replies. I do have auto start stop. My old battery was dead for a week while I was away and after it was recharged by RAC, I got couple of error messages on dash. But once I drive round the clock messages disappeared so I was thinking of swapping by myself with sane type rather than changing to AGM. I don't know if it's worth taking the risk as some messages on the forum say you must "tell" the car it had new battery while others say no issues. I don't have any VCDS equipment and nor can find anyone near me on the owners list. Decisions, decisions..

Hi, I had a flat battery, RAC came and told me battery health is 40% and needs replacing. They also quoted £300 for a new one so I said I will get it somewhere else. For now, car starts and stops and I have left it running for half an hour or so. Halford are quoting around £200 for agm battery fitted. Current battery is 69AH,EFB and has lasted 6 years. I can get this EFB battery delivered and was wondering it's easy to replace it myself without needing any coding or lose radio etc as I am not changing battery type? https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/exide/el700/ Thanks for reading my msg.

Thanks. I appreciate it maybe the answer but I wasn't sure if it's as simple as plugging a 12V charger into socket and so asked a follow up to @RoddersUK suggestion earlier.

I know it sounds simple but it's not possible. When car is remotely locked, it uses dead bolts and then it can't be opened from inside.. Asking these questions makes me think if I am stupid and missing something but it's Skoda who have messed this up in design when converting from LH drive to RH.

Sorry for daft question but is it just a case of plugging in the jumper in port or anything else needs doing? Don't know if this can damage any wiring.. I know it's crazy hut the design is such that the lever is very tight against passenger door and won't really move without door open.

Hi, I need some help please. I saw some earlier posts on this but those were from few years ago so just wanted to ask if there is any update. I am in UK and My skoda has a flat battery. I can use key to manually open driver side door. However the bonet release handle is on passenger side. Car was centrally locked so passenger side, socan't be opened from inside. With passenger side door closed there is not space to pull bonet release handle. Any suggestions please? I will call RAC but not sure what can they do? Thanks. J

Thank you for your reply

Hi, can somekne please help me find the correct rear wiper blade for my 1.4 TSI DSG 2014 octavia (UK). I looked at Bosch A403h (400mm) and amazon website says it fits the vehicle but other websites say this wiper doesn't fit. Thanks J

Hi, I need to replace all tyres on my 1.4 TSI, 2014 octavia (UK). Tyres are 205/55 R16. How do I go about finding the requirement for speed. Current tyres were fitted by previous owner and I don't know if they followed OEM requirements. Nothing in my car manual that I can find. Thanks

Hi, I have a 2014 1.4 TSI skoda octavia. I am really confused about timing belt and water pump replacement so please help me. My local skoda dealer is very unhelpful and always giving different answers. 1. When do these need changing? Is 8r both every 5 years or xxxx miles. I don't drive a lot so years is more relevant. Is it both changing or just belt? 2. I was under the impression that there is one fixed price maintenance cost for replacing timing belt and water pump. Seem to remember 8t was around £599. Looking on skoda UK website it says £479 for belt and £379 for water pump. My local official dealer refused to do work on fixed prices. Thanks again

Hi, any pointers as to how to replace rear brake lights on my 1.4TSI UK octavia. Apologies if this so covered already. I can't seem to find my manual at the moment and I had a look in the guides section on the website but couldn't find anything. Also which bulbs do I get? It seems red brake light bulb is not working. I had a look on Halford website and couldnt see one... Many thanks

Many thanks for your replies and suggestion. I wasn't aware there is a separate tyre thread. Will look there as well. Thanks for pointers to amazon on wiper blade sets.

thanks.

thank you.
