Yes an alignment is on the cards along with an inspection by skoda though I'm not holding much hope with Skoda
-
Likewise keep me updated also and I will post on here what I found out Yes vehicle is standard with no modifications.
-
Yes we're not driving it at high speeds while in Germany for safety reasons until we get it home. Car is 59K miles and same tyres all round. Yes an alignment was on my list of things to get done too Yes I think I will do this too
-
I agree I don't think it's a tyre issue
-
Thanks for the feedback , it seems ok at low speed at the moment it's just the high speed I worry about. I'm currently in Germany on holiday have been on the autobahns so I've done a lot of high speed runs and it doesn't give me confidence in the car.
-
Yeah tried that one and theres nothing under there. I'm going to take it to skoda and they can go through it and test drive it as I know for a fact it's 100% not right
-
Yeah will check it, but don't think it's that. If it was the tyres I'm sure it would do it both ways no ? It's consistent with diving one direction.
-
Yes tried various pressures and still does the same. Car is on Landsails on the front both same age and tread depth etc. Even on these tyres I don't think it should be behaving like this.
-
It's happens anytime I hit a pot hole/rough section at high speed ie over 60mph , could be driving straight or corner it's all the time
-
Hi there thanks for the reply, Tyre pressure are manufacturer recommendation 2.5 bar in the front and 2.7 rear, the tread depth and brand are the same on both the fronts
-
Hi there thanks for the reply. Im ok with the floaty behavior I can manage with that it's just the diving to the right at high speed going over bumpy terrain that feels sketchy.
-
Thanks for that will do
-
Hi there thanks for the reply unfortunately it doesn't have DCC. I'm pretty sure it's the suspension causing the issue as opposed to the type tyre but I'll note that one 👍🏻

Hi all, We recently traded in our 2013 Audi A3 SE TDI for a 2021 Octavia iV. We've had the car for just over a month now and I love it apart from one thing. I understand that it's not a race car but at high speed it just doesn't feel planted at all. It feels extremely floatly. However my main concern is when we hit bumps at high speed the car seems to want to dive to the right each time. Is this normal behavior because it doesn't seem right to me. It went into skoda for a check up but they didn't raise any issues however I hadn't specifically mentioned this at the time as I hadn't owned it that long. Ive done a bit of reading about the car and I'm lead the believe that they have torsion bars on the rear and my experience of them to date isn't the best, however I would of thought it would be quite a refined set up nowadays. Any advice or comments would be welcome about anyone that may own an 2021 Octavia also because if this isn't right I need to get it sorted. Cheers all, Tom
