Thanks all, great to know the Octavia is a good tow car, but maybe not so many using the 1.6tdi version to tow a van.

Yes, it’s 1800kgs, looking at a van that is 1400kgs.

I will double check the plate, I’m sure it is either 1500 or 1800kg. Thanks, good to know. 👍

Hi all, I’m a Skoda owner multiple times over, have always used this site yet never subscribed, 🙄. we have a 2015 Octavia estate 1.6 diesel, (plus a fabia) we are thinking of towing a caravan with the Octavia, which I know is within the legal limits of the car, but has anyone any practical experience on towing a 4 berth with this model and engine? Is it sufficiently powerful to do the job? many comments would be much appreciated. thanks very much. 👍 Rich.
