ŠKODA approved used warranty query?
durhamfisher replied to BlackEdDSG's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Looking at the approved used warranty T&C online it states you need to get Skoda approval for any modifications to the vehicle. I suspect they will only approve mods using their parts and if a dealer fits them. The OE bushes will be covered by a 2 year parts warranty on manufacturing defects. -
Android Auto Stopped Working

I recall having a similar issue which was the phone defaulting to usb charging mode rather than file transfer. Try this link to see if it helps: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-set-the-default-usb-behavior-in-android-10/ -
How to detect crash damage
durhamfisher replied to EnterName's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Yeah, that's what I thought. Even down to the sealer overlapping the plastic trim. -

Yeah, tbf mine looks painted. Just looked at your pics again, just wondering what that yellow line is on the boot and on the grommet? On the second pic the seam sealer overlaps the plastic trim, therefore thinking about order of assembly the seam sealer was possibly applied last? -

That looks similar to the seam sealer in my boot. I tend to look for subtle clues such as trim not fitting properly around the wheel arches or interior. Check around and under the bumper for any signs it's been removed. Missing grommets, screws, carpet not fitting under the trim etc. -
Service Conundrum
durhamfisher replied to CookieMonster87's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I've just been through the same decision. Tbh there wasn't a huge variation in cost but one of the vag specialist included the auxiliary belt in the price and they changed the expansion tank at cost for the part only. Turned out they were the cheapest anyway so went with them. -
Expansion bottle replacement
durhamfisher replied to Scout151's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
IMHO I would get skoda to do it so it doesn't affect your warranty. Nothing warranty companies like more than a bit of DIY wiggle room when it comes to a claim. -
Thanks all for the replies. I ended up adding the missing logos one by one, which wasn't a big deal in the end. There were a few missing from the skoda portal download but I found them on https://media.info/radio/stations which worked fine.
-
How do I update all new logos into the unit? The instructions on the update portal say to change each radio stations logo in turn from the source media. I don't want to keep plugging in the usb drive each time I have a blank logo if there is a better way of doing it. Thanks.

I don't think its anything to worry about, quite normal.

Aircon drain?

The supplying dealer is legally obliged to repair your car foc as you have just purchased it, irrespective of the Skoda warranty. If you take it to another dealer for them to assess under the Skoda warranty, then you could technically be charged if they deem the fault isn't covered by the warranty. Probably best to liase with the supplying dealer.

Expansion bottle replacement

Yes they did but then recently changed to G12Evo, which is what they used looking up that part number. -
Calling all silica bag coolant experts!

Doesn't look the right colour or clarity, should be sorted under warranty though.
