OctaviaMK4

Err stations put out the pictures by them own I think?

Hm I havent been bothering with this for years. Why do you need it?

Just to let everyone know. This is an issue in the new Octavia as well. Brand new car.

Just an update. I have read a lot of people complaining about the humming/vibrations in 2 cyl mode at 1400-1600 rpm especially with manual transmissions. This issue is not being taken care off for years. People reported this with the 1.4 TSi ACT / COD engines back in 2013-2014. It is rather annoying. I seriously think that at one point I will turn it off completely (reprogram the ECU). Too bad I have bought extended warranty for 5 years. So, guys I would recommend to avoid the 1.5 TSi. It is a lovely engine but the 2 cyl mode is annoying. Some people will not hear those hummings and vibrations but most of us will hear it. The cure for now is to turn on the radio and enjoy the ride.

Time to move to metric chaps 😂

I want to add the vibrations in the 2-cyl mode in the 1.5TSI. I still haven't reached the dealer, cause I haven't had time lately. I tried premium petrol - that didn't fix the issue ( I hoped better fuel would do a better combustion and hence lower the vibrations). Reading the forum this is also an issue in the Mk3 as well. It is rather annoying. Adding a bit of gas on a slight uphill or on a level road in 2 cyl around 1500-1600 rpm in any gear ... crikey!

The Kangaroo effect was with the DSG models as far as I have read and not the manuals?

Nope. It doesn't work. The option is there but it is not connecting. I still haven't tried the cable approach. Apparently they also have the issue with the Golf mk8. So try it out when you consider buying it.

I actually reached the guy that designed the interior. Yup the person. So I gave him this insight, we will see what they will do, but I don't think there is a solution for this in the near future. The Golf mk8 also has a digital dial for the temperature, but there the 'buttons' are better.

Hm, judder when pulling away? Is it a DSG? I have a manual 1.5TSI but there is no judder when I pull away. It is rather smooth. Also since I am using the metric system I haven't tried the imperial MPH

Welcome to the club m8

Hey everyone! I am staring a thread here, to list annoying things about the mk4. So hopefully this thread will be helpfull to someone 1) No physical buttons for the HVAC - I hate this. I live in a hot climate, and everytime I start the car I have to pre-set the air flow speed to my liking. Sure there are automatic options, but I like to set it manually. - I hate the new turn-on/turn-off the vent thing. Turn it to the right to shut it off, ...so un-intuitive. A slider in the middle or to the side would be wonderful. 2) First edition gremlins. Yeah, I was ready for this before I even got the car. I know that you should never buy a new model, and wait for the facelift, but I really like this car and design. - Start/Stop failed in the first couple of hundred kilometres. Well, not failed, but it needed reprogramming by the dealer. It works fine now. Knock on wood. I think they have reported this to Skoda. - DRL lights showed up an error. It turns out they lost a connection for a split of a second. They are fine. The issue was reported to Skoda. 3) The rear-view mirror is bloody small. 4) Often you hit your knee in the vent. But I reckon you guys (RHD) will not have this problem 5) So many shiny bits of plastic in the interior, sometimes a wild glare will popup, but nothing worrying. Luckily I have my door trims in black (and in my view look way cooler than chrome). 6) Even though the Bolero looks better and has a lot more options, I believe the 8,5' screen gives you all you need. And I hate that stupid slider for a volume control - you have the physical knobs on the 8.5' 7) I HATE that tablet holder for the kids in the back. When I am putting my kid in the back, and try to lock him, I always hit my head in that plastic thing. I have to take it out. Sure it is maybe practical but...I hate it. 8 ) I really miss the Passat's straps for organizing my boot space, and stopping things rolling around. I have those plastic pieces that you put in on the carpet, but I have mine on the rubber side, to protect the boot from any dirty bicycle tyres and now I am left with no alternative. I hate nets. I miss the straps. Yeah I have the hooks but you can put two/three things on them. 9) No cig-ligther in the front. I want to charge things up using an old fashion cigarette lighter pod. Just two USB-C in the front, and nothing in the back seats. I know that comes an optional extra, but come on Skoda. Be simply clever 10) The Cruise control activation - I HATE IT. You have a small piece of plastic on top of your indicators. If you click on it you might turn on the turn signals. Well maybe this is a VAG thing, but ...come one.

Hi Folks! First thread here. A week ago I bought the new Skoda Octavia mk4. Lava blue, 1.5 TSI and 6 speed manual. So far so good. The ride quality is excellent. A HUGE difference, compared to the previous model. The materials, sound insulation, everything is top notch. So...220 miles (100 highway :D) and I have two complaints: - The Start/Stop system stopped working yesterday evening. - That stupid Skoda Connect thing, I cannot figure it out and I have an advanced degree in IT. So clearly they are doing something wrong. So this Start/Stop system - the system displays that there is an error. It was working fine till yesterday. I start the car, nothing. No warnings nothing. I get driving, and after it warms up, and I get to a traffic light instead of turning the car off - it says "Error Start/Stop system" and on the infotainment - Sorry, this feature is currently unavailble. So, planning to reach my dealer tomorrow. I have had this car for a week, and I have to call the dealer? That is a shaky start. Thank god I bought the extended 5 years warranty I have read the forum topics here. I went for a long drive, but nothing. It didn't fix it. The fuel consumption is excellent though. 43MPG city driving with the A/C on and without the S/S system though not so heavy traffic. With heavy traffic I managed 38MPG (35*C, A/C on, bumper to bumper and Start/Stop ...working )
