It appears to becoming common for some Skoda cars.
Some manufacturers have sorted out premature corrosion and that included Skoda, but we seem to be going back to the future.
Time to start getting rust inhibitor on where there is bare metal in areas not see unless the bonnet is open.
?
Is your car kept near the seaside?
No I’m not by the seaside but the last owner may well have been.

I had rust on my tailgate in 2016, when my car was under a year old. The claim was rejected by Skoda. I was about to seek legal advice, but the claim was then accepted, second time around.
Don't give up too soon!

Who did you speak to after yours was rejected the first time?? ThAnks

Update, claim rejected (no surprise) and they said they can do it for the tidy sum £ 560, absolute joke for what it is

If they refuse I’ll probably just have to fork out my own Pocket , I’ve only had the car 3 months ands it’s only 3.5 year old but I know warranty stuff it’s just a ball ach .

Having the same issue present itself around the (hatch) boot edges on my MY2016 - though that's unexpected for a 2019 car, well spotted.
I am due to get the car in for a full 'stage 3 paint correction+' ceramic coating session soon, so I'm sure the fixes + coating is going to provide a hefty bill. Tend not to do many paint fixes myself, though have treated all gravel rash and the small rust areas I've found with the Turtle Wax Scratch Repair & Renew stuff (whether it does anything or not to protect it in the meantime 🙄).
Do update if you get a quote for a fix.
I’m going to a Skoda approved body shop on Wednesday so I’ll keep the post updated, have you got any pics of yours. Also this could of been prevented at factory with a little ppf or rubber washer.

So after a good clean today I noticed some corrosion around bottom of rear spoiler., it’s not too bad but still a bummer , I would mind I read all about potential Octavia 3 corrosion problems before I bought it, but still a great car tho, I wonder how much this will cost , it’s on both side as well.

I don’t think they will fit , the Octavia sill is different from the font .

No these are the 18 inch version, the 19 inch version are flow formed and are meant to be stronger but are very prone to get flat spots.

Yes I do like Audi design in general.

Look good. I couldn't deal with 19s round here. Let alone 20s like a good friend has on an audi. Broke a spring on a pothole a few months ago. Still trying to argue with council highways who say if they check it once a year they're immune from being liable!!
Council haven’t gotten worse and worse .

I new the facelift reminded me of something with the split headlights but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until now

Just fitting 18 genuine vw Pretoria wheels as the roads here are just pothole after pothole. I’ll tell u what tho those 19 inch extremes are super heavy.

Just fitted some arch guards . They don’t provide loads of protection but do provide some and are very discreet

Do these damage paintwork grit and dirt getting trapped between mud lap and the body of the car

That’s normal . Most vw branded cars are like this especially after 2013

Hmm I think maybe the grey version is 7.5 and the black 8 for some reason unless it’s got something to do with the mk3 facelift having a wider rear track??

Push on the drivers window switch when playing bassy music and it will disappear

Maybe exhaust burning off some residue
