Window Regulator Vs Window Motor
Justabloke replied to Justabloke's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Thanks, in a way that annoying. I'm having an argument with RAC Warranty folk. They are claiming the regulator isnt covered but the motor is....... :( -
Hi all, Is the electric window motor on a 2011 Octavia Eleganse an integral part of the regualtor or can they be swapped independantly ? Thanks M

Dealer Parts Prices vs EBay
Justabloke replied to Justabloke's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Just found I can walk to my local TPS, not a name I recognised but that's why we have these forums -
Just thought I'd share my recent experience which was very surprising and pleasing. My 2011 Octavia has a very shabby gear lever knob, the top trim piece is worn and cracked. Searched on ebay and they are readily available in the £15 to £25 price range plus shipping. Out of curiosity tried my local main agents, Lightcliffe. Genuine Part £9 and some pennies. They even have a COVID safe parts collection system where you pay online and collect parts from outside the door with no need to go inside the dealership, very useful in these strange times. Previous experience of main dealers was expensive parts, this is great service, is this typical of the Skoda strategy to parts. ?

Hi all, Picked up a 2011 Octavia estate just before Christmas. Loving it so far. Back to the Skoda family, my dad had two S110R back in the day followed by a few different Estelles. My first car was a Chocolate/Bronze Estelle. Things are a bit different now. Looks to be a great resource, hopefully I can contribute and not just sponge information from you all Have a great new year. Martin
