Can't find much info on this, so if anyone has anything to suggest or has had a similar issue that's been fixed it'd be much appreciated. The driver's side windscreen wash works perfectly as it should, and in fairness probably clears 85% of the screen. But the passenger side and the rear side don't work at all. I can hear the motor as I'm applying the action to both, but nothing comes out. I've done the pin in the hole trick and that did nothing, so likely there's a blockage somewhere. Are the passenger side and rear linked? Phoned Skoda directly as a couple of local garages have told me they can't see what the problem is. Quoted me £120 just to diagnose the issue and the car would be required for the full 8 hours of the day (without repair). I mean, really? I don't really want to take 2 days off work just for this. I have an MOT coming up in the next 6 weeks and was told by a local garage that it would likely that it would fail on these parts. I'm based in South Wales, so if anyone can recommend some Skoda-savvy repairers that would be great!

Well I haven't ordered yet, going to next week at some point. Hopefully that won't be the case as it'll be a mobile fitting.

Nothing is ever straightforward is it... If I book this i hope they send out someone who knows what they're doing ...

In the recent months I've barely been driving more than 10-20 miles per journey, averaging maybe 5, but even on the shorter runs I'm ensuring I drive a few extra miles so tick the battery over. But it took an extra few seconds to start this afternoon. Battery is reading between 11-11.9v with engine off and 12v when running, and between 12-13v when driving (although not sure of the accuracy of that). A quick google tells me I'm lucky to get it started without fuss and so I think a battery replacement is probably wise. It's a 66 plate 2.0tdi so battery likely 4 - 4.5 years old. I don't fancy fitting myself as I'm of the understanding something needs to be coded for the stop/start system to work properly? All of my previous cars have been without this so it's new to me. Had a look online and Halfords seems the most reasonable with mobile fitting available as well. Has anyone had this 096AGM fitted in their Octavia without issue? https://www.halfords.com/motoring/batteries/car-batteries/halfords--096agm-start%2Fstop-agm-12v-car-battery-5-year-guarantee-548638.html Anyone who's had to replace their battery: what are the things you need to reset yourself after fitting?

Had car three months (though second owner) and already have a low battery for key fob warning message come on when ignition is turned. Can anyone tell me if I replace this myself will I somehow have to reconfigure its relationship to the car or will it work as normal automatically? My biggest worry is I replace it and then I can't get into the car at all because it needs to be re-setup. My Octavia doesn't have any lock on the outside to get in even if it did go, so car would be locked nmw.

Hi guys, New poster here, but a long time reader of this forum. I have recently bought my first Octavia and loving everything about it so far, but want to upgrade the wheels as soon as really as the stock ones look ugly. Can anyone advise me on where the best place to buy online is as I'm totally new to wheel upgrades?! Dealership seems crazy expensive. And is it worth sticking with 16" (what's already on there) or going to 17?
