Thank you for advice much appreciated

The new Skoda has a oil temperature read out on the dashboard just want to know what you guys are recommend the perfect temperature when you think cars is hot enough so I can put my foot down a little bit harder I've been waiting till the temperature gets to 70 before put my foot down has anybody got any advice for me thank you guys {{ p.s. I used to go by water temperature on the old car but I suppose oil temperature is the most important thing to be looking out for

Ok guys back here again for the last time I'm just want to know where the colour code is for the bodywork paint my car is a silver Octavia built in 2019 November it's se drive 1.5 there is no code in the trunk near the spare wheel just need the specification for the paint so I can get it sprayed have slight damage on a bit of a sour note did not hear from anybody about what colour the wheels are I presume they are a silver VW Audi paint l1h7 would be nice if somebody could confirm it I know I sound like a bit of a bore but I will never talk about paint code again on this site I know people are probably ****ed off with me it would help

Skoda Octavia mark 3 registered 2020 built in 2019 I have 17 in denom these wheels are only on the se drive the car is actually a brilliant silver but obviously the alloys are slightly different shade , is the paint code inside the wheels obviously they have been cast are those the numbers unfortunately I have a slight stone Nick and I need to touch it up u I am very OCD about the vehicle it is really annoying me damage due to an idiot with a strimmer but let's not go there I have read somewhere that this is a Volkswagen Audi code L1H7 and I don't want to talk about the parts guy at my local Skoda garage according to him that haven't invented the paint yet it's too new you let's not go there are can't even get my registration right without telling me the vehicle does not exist thank God I bought the vehicle for somewhere else ok guys thank you for the help this question obvious Steve been asked 1000 x but best make sure😊

Hi guys before I make a major mistake what size fuses do I need for the car are they mini standard micro thanks for the help

Thanks lot🤓 Thanks a lot

Hi chaps just an observation the tyre pressure monitoring system will only tell you you if you have a rapidly deflating tyre major blow out or a big nail that has accepted through the wall of the tyre uh am I right in thinking that normal air seepage which happens over the course of a month or two two is not picked up by the system just wondered am I more or less in the ballpark I thought the system told you if it went down by two or 3 PSI immediately obviously it's only there for major problems thank you for feedback

Thanks mate

Just a quick question I need a touch up pen for my wheel which has a very slight Nick in it in the paintwork is the paint code inside the back of the wheel which has various numbers or is it on the bodywork a plait somewhere obviously the wheels silver I will probably go on the internet and get a touch up paint main dealers can be very expensive va or do you advise to go to the main dealer thanks guys

Thanks mate just a false sense then because of the heavy steering

Right here is my question guys in sports mode on my Skoda 1.5 TSI which is a mark 3 2019 plate does my suspension stiffen up in sports mode or is it just the steering wheel and throttle response that activates am I feeling a false scent of less body roll due to the steering wheel becoming farmer p.s. guys I'm not a big fan of the steering wheel getting heavier obviously I can go into the settings and go individual mode of this suspension thing has got me wondering thanks guys

Ok I'm going to take that on board the Skoda has just seals hard seal points for jacking up and the rest of it just looks very soft but you have given me ideas thanks a lot mate 8th Thanks a lot mate 8th will take it all on board your analysis is very interesting

Ok mate that makes sense I thought it would be something like that I will keep an eye on the the soft part of the seals and then lifted up and put it on axle stands on the hardpoints I usually use ice hockey pucks they are durable and can take the weight without damaging anything thanks a lot

My question is is when I Jack the car up at it's a jacking points under the seals where you have the extra strength and jacking seal which is roughly about where the books that specifies obviously the same on all vehicles but my problem is if I Jack it up at this point and wish to put the car on axle stands can I actually go back a little bit further to put the axle stands under the seal which doesn't look strengthened without damaging them once I lead the Jack out can the car rest on these softer point on the appoint underseal on my previous car's you could check them up at the rear axle and at the front frame but these new Octavia is covered underneath would it be safe to put axle stand on the softer part of the seal which is not straightforward and then withdraw the actual Jack surely there must be away without caving in the under seals where it is not strengthened obviously these new cars and made lighter so so you must only hit the Pacific points

Ok mate that makes sense

Question can I use V-Power which is a higher Ron 99 then standardforecourt fuel which I believe is Ron 95 would it harm the car I was just curious would this cause pinking problems would it burn out anything like the sensors in the exhaust system not really worried about performers just wondered about the cleaning abilities of the fuel because it is a new car thought I'd put this in every once and while

That makes a lot of sense to me me thanks a lot That makes a lot of sense to me thanks a lot That makes a lot of sense to me thanks a lot

Hi guys just a quick question on my new Skoda Octavia 1.5 which has just done 1000 miles I've got to put fuel in it it in another 80 miles my question is should I now put shell v Power in the next tank for which will probably be 57 L I think so basically every fourth refill put v power so it would keep injectors system and fuel system clean I used to use Redex in my old Vauxhall all every 5th tank full but I presume you don't put Redex in a new car for a while or am I wrong please advice thanks a lot guys

Sorry I thought I posted this earlier perhaps I made a mistake what are your views on putting a catch can my Skoda mark 3 3 which is only got 900 miles on it at the present moment but I intend to keep it at least 12 years obviously I would buy a top end kid so I wouldn't have any problems with with pressure and it would catch all the fumes properly thanks guys

Yes I will probably try that next I've been using Rain-X for a few years I'll give it G5 ago

Thank you for your advice Thank you for your advice really helps

That's very interesting exactly my point where did you buy your cap or bung from wouldn't mind paying high-end prices for one thanks a lot mate

Yes mate I remove the rear wiper arm on my old Vauxhall and I use Rain-X and other special chemicals haven't had a need to use a rear wiper for 12 years so I'm going to give it a go on the Octavia plus it will make the car look better I do not think I will run into a problem at this present moment I have got rain x on it and not use the rear wipers since I've bought the car

thanks a lot mate

Hi guys got a mark 3 20 19 Skoda Octavia hatchback going to be thinking about removing the rear wiper but my question is what kind of plugs will I require to fill the hole with with something obviously very high-end will be what I will be looking for that would seal perfectly now I'm not sure what is that bit on the market I presumed the guys with Golf GTIs have done this before but where do I actually look to get get state of art bung I haven't a clue what they're called getting the trim of is not that much of a problem I have all the tools getting a motor out it's not a problem removing the wiper arm is not a problem the only problem is is there must be a special bong whatever the hell it's called where do I look for one on the internet thanks guys probably do this job next year early on but do my homework now🐺
