Hello! Very useful! You have made a big job when collecting all that data into one place.

Hello Louise! Cold here also, -6 degrees celsius so not so interested to go out to do any car repairs Sorry I don't have any photographs to show details. The biggest problem indeed was taking the hard plastic cover off in the inside of rear bonnet, it required a little bit force. The rest of work is then quite well observed. Good luck! Pasi

Hi, Louise! Mine is 2011 Octavia 2 1.6 MPi. My rear wiper stopped to work almost immediately I bought the car. Sometimes worked a little but stopped then in the middle of the window. I was about to buy a new wiper motor but I took a closer look at it before that. I took the motor cover off and realised that there is a small circuit board or connecting point where the motor wires are soldered. The soldering had cracks and after resoldering wiper has been working now about two years. I think repeated impacts when closing the rear bonnet are resulting the cracks. So if you or your friend have such of skills and interest to do I recommend to check that before buying a new one. Another opinion: the cheapest aftermarket motor costs a little bit under 60 euros so it's your choice. Hope you find a solution to your problem! Cheers Pasi

Hi! I'm talking about front parking light lamp bulbs located under the upper part of head light lenses. Second of them went down so I was thinking would it be possible to change those with led versions or will it light up warning light in dashboard?

Hi! I think your battery change don't require any coding. For example in my 2011 Octavia battery change went through without any coding, I even changed a battery with bigger capacity. That, I know, is problem with some brands on newer models.

Hi! I have to remove steering wheel airbag because of changing wiper/light stalks. The procedure to do that is quite clear but battery reconnecting is confusing me a little bit. That's because Skoda Octavia's workshop manual says to reconnect battery with ignition ON after working with airbags or safety belt tightening system. Sounds a little bit harsh but manual says it's the right way. What's your opinion, have you done that with the same way?
