you always get some old man in somerset that thinks hes clever but not at all ooolllddd man

hi b4t sorry to hear your having the problem a lot of us have had with our skoda,s cant remember if I put on about what happened after the second time my car was back at skoda and got told nothing wrong with your brakes , I phoned skoda uk again and the lady I dealt with told me this time we stripped all the callipers , cleaned them , and put them back together , brakes are ok . guess what ? it has never done it since , so does this mean they sorted the problem and are saying nothing ! car has now done 62000 miles and still love my VRS . Hope this gives you some help .

alright stuart ive had several vrs octavias this is the only one that has this problem , but we have to remember we don't by cars this day and age that we have to leave in gear whenever we park up its not the 1920s thanks

i have a 2015 vrs estate , no problems with it till this year ,cars now done 36,000 miles serviced every 10,000 mot tested 3 times a year because of my job , never had a problem with my hand brake till now ,parked on my drive 45 minutes rolls through my garage door ,£2000 for new door never mind the damage to the car , every body said I forgot to put the handbrake on mmmm! . in petrol station almighty bang whilst I was filling up looks about the car starts to move away ,stopped on a hill put handbrake on bang stars rolling backwards , I use vrs as taxis pulled up on rank sat their 10 minutes taxi in front wanted me ,I whent to see him he asked for a phone number I took a step towards my car bang it was off down the road (a hill by the way ) had to run after it managed to catch and jump in and stop it. took the car to local skoda dealership they did a mot brake test couldn't fin a fault with brakes I then got in touch with skoda uk had a few words and got another mot brake test report . skoda say nobody has this problem , the dealership even told a man with a 2016 Octavia estate who took his car in a week after me they haven't had anybody else in with this problem . I think its time skoda held their hands up and say their is a problem and we will get it sorted for you all thanks every body
