Does anyone know of any major or significant changes made to the 2007 estate in 2008 ?

Thanks everyone! That did it. I think the RDS route sounds very logical. Maybe in the 09.

Can someone help me understand how to change the time on the "Stream" radio? The manual speaks of how to turn it off and on in the display, but doesn't seem to show how to change the time itself. Must be possible!!

Hi, I want to cover my 2007 Octavia Combi with a well made fitted car cover. Too much tree sap and wet leaves fall on my parking spot. Does anyone know where I can order one of good quality?

My 07 Octavia has the Stream radio without GPS. Does anyone recommend an after market GPS system that goes well with the 07 dash? Thanks

Thanks Chris.G! I'll try that.

I purchased textile floor mats and rubber floor mats from my Skoda dealership. They have instructions that show them attaching to each other via plastic screws. But then it is not clear how they would attach to the floorboard. The dealership says they have no idea. I think there should be pegs installed in the floorboard at the factory, like in Audi's and VW's. Does anyone know about this or have floorboard pegs for mats in their 07 Octavia?

Good idea Wazza_G!, but before that I will try the dealer again. If nothing else it will help our dealership here see that they can do it if they try. Skoda part numbers should do the trick even if I pay the postage or a fee.

Thanks everyone. I will talk to the dealer today and use the parts numbers. They were not willing to handle this task this morning when I went, but this is Estonia and service is not like the UK yet!

Can anyone give me a resource where I can purchase an owners manual and service manual in English for the 2007 Octavia?

Yes, I did check the manual and did figure out how to set the clock with the odometer button, but the manual does not say anything about the other settings for that type of display. I'l see the dealer about it next week. By the way I bought this car ( 2007 Octavia Combi 1.6 MPI 75 KW) yesterday here in Estonia at a Skoda dealership and it only has manuals in Estonian and Russian. If any one can help me find a place to purchase an owners manual and service manual in English, I would appreciate the tip. Thanks

Thanks dstev2000, I do not have the Maxi Dot, but the basic multi functional display. The rocker on the wiper arm doesn't press in and is fixed, so display must not be programmable in that fashion. Just wonder what happens if battery is disconnected or dies and all info is reset to zero (maybe thats how to do it), how to re set date and clock. Any other ideas?

Can any one tell me if the multi functional display (with on board computer) is able to be programmed and how? Specifically if I can change the temp from Far. to Cel? Thanks

Hello and glad to be part of the forum. I have just purchased a used 2004 Fabia and want to learn more from other's experience with Skoda.
