I always use Continental Sport Contact 5 225/40 R18 Y (92) Unbeliveble wet grip can throw your car into any corner and feel safe high grip all round no twitching. No wheel spin

My Octavia 2.0 TDI is taken 8 to 10 sec to turn over today all warning lamps come on and alarms and buzzers then stalled and went dead. 5 minutes later I started it then it stalled dash saying flat battery left for another 2 mins then started again with foot flat down on accelerator and now all ok. Does this suggest I need new battery 7 years old? Chris

Thank you for everyone help I tried all your ideas not one worked still no Signal taken Cd Unit main Source all connected. Taken centre screen out all connected. I am baffled were else to look. Can I connect a aftermarket DAB aerial to these units?

Thanks OzGordo I just ordered x 4 235 40 18 Conti Contact 6

Thank you very helpful mine not lowered will this make any difference? Thank you very helpful mine not lowered will this make any difference?

There no GPS connected to my Dash cams

Are you saying a new rear screen? Or is there a aerial amp in pillar somewhere that needs replacing?

Not good system it was suggested by Skoda Dealer that the Aerial was behind the Dashboard and it was £18.95 for a aerial and £105 for fitting lol

Can Dash Cam Hard Wired to fuse box cause any problems?

I have a set of 8J X 18 ALLOY WHEELS with 225-40-18 tyres fitted these don't quite cover rim edges. Can I fit 235-40-18 or 245-40-18 size tyres so they will protect the rims. I purchased wheel and tyre set online for £650 the 4 wheels alone are £450 meaning the tyres are cheap £50 each which I would like to change to Continental. Any advice on what tyre size I can go to on 18inch 8j rims please? Chris

I never can get a DAB signal on my Bolero Radio in Octavia 2014 Mk3 does anyone have same issue and how was it fixed please? Chris

Can anyone tell can I fit a Sports Exhaust to a Skoda Octavia 2.0tdi MK3 which is been Remapped from 150bhp to 190bhp. I am looking with a throaty note and not too loud can anyone advise me on a exhaust system or back box that will do a decent exhaust note. Cheers

I have had my Octavia Mk3 2014 2.0 SE for 3 years and had same problem going over speed bumps. I keep hearing this all time just over speed bumps but 3 Mots later they never found any play in wishbones bushes. All tyre tread depths all same depths with no uneven wear. If you can put up with the little creaking noise and wait until you have a MOT or uneven tyre wear then my opinion is not to change them. My bet is more like anti roll bar bushes. I tend to find Skoda add to jobs and replace parts that are not needed as the Octavia such a reliable car that they never get much Mechanical work through there work shops. Try some washing up liquid or silicone grease around anti roll bar bushes and see if creaks go away.

I have Think Aware Cameras fitted and hardwired to fuse board. There was no signal before I fitted the cameras. Thank You encephalopathy.

My Skoda Octavia Mk3 SE as Bolero radio fitted and I can't get a DAB signal any where I travel. I can get FM signal fine doe's anyone know of any problems I can sort out myself. I also can't not find the aerial is it rear screen or under front dashboard? Any please help before I pay £120 just to have it checked out by Skoda or £70 by a local Car Radio Dealer. Chris

I know someone that works at local fuel depot Sainsburys is the better supermarket fuel out of all supermarkets they have there own tank at the fuel depot and more cleaners and additives . Tesco, Asda, Morison, Esso and Texco all comes out same tank. BP and Shell both have there own tanks. I always use BP or Sainsburys and never notice a problem I travel to work and back every day a total 14 miles round trip.

Comes off one of the rear seat sides.

That's is the one I ordered and same part number they have admitted tonight that they have wrong photo on there systems showing wrong type of filter under Mann. The Longer Filter from Mann as a water trap fitted which mine don't so settle for Bosch Long type as per photo.

Thanks for everyone for your help now exchange my Mann Filter for a Bosch Filter as this is right size now. Mann Filter half the length of Original VAG Filters.

Cheers I change it for a Bosch Filter. Look at other Mann Filter and it had a water trap tube which mine doesn't have.

ENGINE 2.0 TDI 150 CKFC MK3 OCTAVIA WHICH FILTER SHOULD I HAVE IN MINE FOR ENGINE SIZE AND CODE ABOVE A SHORT ONE PU8021 FROM MANN OR A LONG ONE PU8014 FROM MANN. ON MY LAST SERVICE FROM SKODA THEY FITTED LONG ONE. BUT I AM GETTING A SHORT ONE WHEN I GO TO EURO PARTS PU8021. HOW CAN I TELL IF I HAVE A WATER COLLECTOR OR NO WATER COLLECTOR AND WHEN I WATCH YOU TUBE PEOPLE ARE FITTING SHORT FUEL FILTERS?

Nothing wrong with Mondeo Had one for 15 years as a Taxi Now own Skoda Mk3 and do prefer Mondeo

Mondeo with a Jag Skin

Had a DSG oil and filter Change at 30,000 miles but looking back and in Engine bay there no signs of it being done as they are suppose to Remove Battery and Tray but bolts all look new no signs on being undone. Did enquire at last service with Murray Skoda Plymouth and they said you can change filter from under the car but I think there pulling a fast one me self.

Octavia 2014 SE 2.0 TDi DSG Doe's anyone know why in slow traffic my DSG box sometimes is a bit jerky when you take up power and always drive in Normal Mode. Would it be best to go over to Sports Mode in slow traffic seems a lot better on take up and doesn't Jerk so much as Normal Mode. Or do I have a Major Problem Cheers Chris
