Hi everyone I don’t suppose anyone knows what the significance of the last letter is of the final drive part number. Apparently I need OCQ525010S. A few about with different letter! Thanks

At the risk of sounding daft…. Where? I can’t find any Octavia Scout Rear Diffs (apart from 1 in China) for a 2016. Maybe I need to searching for something else that is compatible.

Hi My local Skoda dealer has just confirmed the worse…. Rear bearing in the diff has failed and a complete new diff is required. Been quoted just over £5,000 for the repair/ new diff. For a 58,000 mile car that is ridiculous. Looks like all the Skodas in my drive might need a new home 😢. The dealer doesn’t believe Skoda will offer any goodwill but with us having had 7 Skodas you would think it would account for something.

I can never be sure of anything! Noise gets louder from 40mph. My own mechanic has said to leave it over to Skoda for their opinion but he’s confident in coming from within the diff, and possibly a carrier bearing. He is a damn good mechanic, but his speciality would be Mazda

Hi Yeah I still have drive. Cornering isn’t so hot if applying the power!

Hi So I have 2 Octavia Scouts (my 6th &7th Skoda) 2016 & 2019. My 2016 manual one has developed a load noise coming from the rear diff/ Haldex unit. Have you much experience with this? It sounds like a bearing failure. As it’s only 5 1/2 year old with 58k on it I’m rather disappointed. Would Skoda typically cover this with goodwill as it is deemed as a for life product? I’ve been reading that the gen5 seems to have the odd issue 🥺
