I like the Octavia and disappointed that mine has had problems. I really wish VW would sort it. However, I wasn't prepared to pay hard earned money to be a beta tester. Having said that, if I was informed at time of purchase that they have software related problems but will be fixed and we will look after you, I would have still purchased knowing that as apart from the bugs it's a great car. Instead, I wasn't and left without a car for a week while it was at the dealership. Not the best of service for a 4 week old car. Mine is going back to the dealer next week and I will be picking up a Superb SportLine as a replacement. Such a shame. A big miss from VAG.

The mystical 1803 if on a D\E hardware. Hmm, not sure I believe it but would happily be proven wrong.

Get the faults logged right away and in writing. Provide picture evidence too.

Having had one for a couple of weeks, it is a good engine\electrical solution if a bit strange at first. I hope yours does not suffer the problems that mine did. I'm sure the Dealer are having fun in mine while I'm walking everywhere now.

I googled how to contact WD, there is a Web form to complete and once done so generates the long number above. My suggestion, cut and paste mine so they know these are all linked.

I'd be happy to stick my name in the ring. Anyone know how we start the process?

Interesting info there Phil. I was told today about a possible fix due soon too.

They do have a letter that I put together after spending many hours researching. The template you have, would you be so kind to send it?

They have both key's, passed those to the Dealer Principle not any old sales person :). VWSF told me yesterday to cancel the Direct Debit. So it looks like they are taking it over now.

Mine was registered the end of April, means very little though. Not that it matters too much as its currently on the dealers forecourt and they have both sets of keys - has left me without a car though (one car family).

Wish mine was good. How do I determine the build date?

I'm currently walking through the rejection process. The dealer is trying to wiggle out if it but I'm sticking firm. 1.5 DSG mild hybrid, 4 weeks old.

Hi, I had one for a couple of weeks before it went back to the dealer re the now infamous Infortainment\software problems and mine had a clunk from the break pedal when auto hold was enabled - car was stationary. I saw around town upper 40 mpg. At the moment I'm in the steps per day as the dealer nor Skoda UK have provided a loan car. Excellent service if you ask me, paying for a car I don't have and no access to a vehicle at all. I am walking through the rejection process though so I guess neither of them are that interested in helping me out.
