If it’s TDI then car staying on after switching off is normal ”feature” on Diesel Octavias, it’s regenerating DPF.

If you change belt sametime with pump there’s no much cost added, because they’re next to each other*.. So most expenses come from labor. *If i remember right there’s few engines that has waterpump away from cam belt, so ”no need” to change sametime etc, but usually when waterpump is changed it’s recommend to change cam belt too.

Waterpump+timing belt change interval is kinda near then, because almost 5 years old car. Is it 5 or 6 years on your car? My ex Octavia 1,4 TSI had 5 years / 210,000km and current Octavia 1,6 TDI have 6 years / 210,000km

Which year is it and how many miles driven?

Waterpump. Mine did same 2018 fall once and 2019 summer 3 times then failed totally at fall (had to be towed to dealer). Could also be thermostat failurue.

Without seeing car it looks nice and price is not that bad. I would get 4x4 version, because it’s enjoyable during winter (even with all season tyres 😉), but if RS is must and under 20k€ then it may not been option 😕

Fyi: I think that car entertainment does not support Finnish, if that’s important to you.

It seems to be serviced in time, even earlier than needed. I’m assuming that service interval is 30k/1 year. 2019-03-18 172582 km 2018-04-16 149951 km 2017-10-06 128845 km 2017-01-30 100113 km 2016-06-16 74571 km 2015-11-02 51053 km 2015-02-26 25272 km 2014-12-19 18281 km 2014-07-18 4km

I think i found car you’re looking, is it white color and located in Espoo?

Is waterpump and timing belt changed already? If not change interval is reached in 20,000km (my waterpump failed at 170k)... Replacing waterpump and timing belt cost me 700€ (Finland).. If not changed i would try bargain that change cost from car price or change before buying for free etc.

I usually keep mine around 17-18C during summer (20C feels too warm for me at summer) and when it’s really really hot i set to LO so it gets cold then raise to 16,5-17C

Skoda - Simply Clever.. almost I have problems with MySkoda app after every update, now it works but really laggy.

Bottom hinges then just push it.. Probably pressing sides will help. I have not figured easier way to do that, so i dont take responsibility if you break something 😬

I have used brute force always.. Maybe it’s not proper way but worked at least 10+ times

You have KESSY (Keyless Entry, Start and exit SYstem)? Did you change battery on second key too? KESSY will drain battery even if you’re not using your spare key.
