Anyone know any offers around at the moment on this? Local garage charging £137 to supply the unlock code.

I did check the ground this morning and no leakage.

It is indeed below the min line. Is this normal on a 9 month old car?

Started car this morning with coolant warning light which was a surprise. Car is only 9 months old and done 8k. This is now a really dumb question, where do I look to see if it is actually low. Can I top this up myself? Should it be low on a 9 month old car?

Engine cooler fan staying on for a long time

No need to ring the dealer. This is completely normal. It will be a DPF re-gen running which when the engine is running, disables stop start and revs stay at 1000. If the engine is switched off, you will hear the fans and smell as it carries on if interrupted. Usually takes about 5 mins or so. Nothing at all to worry about You will hear of some people telling you to go on a long drive until it's finished but ignore this as it's not needed and designed to carry on if interrupted. -
I would like to do this so they show on the car display. Any instructions?

PCH V PCP for non business user.

Shop around. I got my vRS diesel hatch with DSG, black pack, sunset glass for £20k brand new. I do get a good discount through work though but i've seen people manage to get similar deals without employer discount etc. I got a Salisburys loan at 2.9 which worked out much cheaper than PCP/PCH of Skoda Finance plus I'm not tied into any agreement length or maximum mileage. I can sell up when I want. -
What colour is this Octavia?
shanemeh replied to GreatDanton's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Meteor grey has been the best colour I've owned with hiding dirt. -
smartlink Smartlink - Worth it?

Ah probably not worth it for me than. I like to put the phone away on listen to music via bluetooth. If I do have my phone cabled in on charge, the phone is in a cradle on the windscreen so using google maps etc would be easier having it placed there than having to look down at the Skoda screen. -

Can you use Android Auto via bluetooth? -

Ooo I don't like that! :( Looks way too 'Halford car park Saturday night' for me. -
Engine noise/rattle between 2/2.5 rpm

Was sorted today by dealer. They narrowed it down to a bracket on the air con tuning rubbing against the heat shield at certain engine speeds. All now sorted.
