Hi The last couple of times I have refuelled the car, towards the end of the process I have noticed a knocking noise coming from the tank. Is this normal or something that I need to get sorted? Thanks for any help.

Hi For new insurance quote purposes, I would like to know what category of security alarm is fitted to the FL Octavia. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The clock in my Octavia's maxidot was showing the wrong time yesterday. Nothing has been touched since I last used the car, so not sure what is going on there!

Hi I would like to supply my own Shell oil when the car has its service. Is it OK to do this? If so, how much oil do I need to buy? Thanks for any help. Susan

I too was going to ask where the FL Octavia register has gone. Why just VRS registers?

Variant: L & K Engine: 1.8TSi Transmission: Manual Hatch or Estate: Hatch Colour: Brilliant Silver Extras: MDI, Spare wheel, front parking sensors, front mud flaps Mods to date: none

It might look all right on the outside but the inside looks very cheap and nasty!

Is the spare wheel size of 195 65 R 15 91 T OK to use if car size wheels are 17"?

The 2010 brochure says the L&K has textile floor mats. I hope this is true rather than rubber mats that slide around.

If you have light grey leather seats it makes the interior look a lot lighter.

I have never had to top mine up between yearly services and there is definitely no nannying going on!

That's not what I want to hear when I have just ordered FL in silver!

Hi When ordering the FL Octavia with the full size spare wheel option, does it come with a jack and toolkit? Thanks

Thanks very much for your help simbo99 and moley. Thankfully the locking/unlocking method worked!

I went to top up with fuel this morning and the fuel filler flap wouldn't open. Is there anything I can do, or does it mean a trip to Skoda dealership? Thanks for any help

I found exactly the same thing yesterday. The rear wash/wipe seems to be working ok. I gave the car a good wash a few weeks ago, including giving the underside a good soaking using a hose pipe. Can water get into spare wheel area this way? Thanks

I have had it happen once, when the car was a couple of weeks old and on its first long journey.I nearly had a heart attack!

Same here. I thought it was me and my driving! Totally happy with car in all other respects though.

Is it ok to add it to 502?

My 1.8TSI has just had its first service (I have the 3 free services within the finance package) so now, according to paperwork from dealer, it has VW 502 specification oil. If the oil needs topping up before the next year's service, is it OK to use VW 504 specification oil? Thanks for any advice

I am now running on 220Kpa/2.2ish bar all round. The load is usually one or two people at most. I would say about 70-80% of driving is on motorway/dual carriageway. I have an L&K with 17" wheels.

I have this free service package. The car has just had its first service and now has VW 502 specification oil in it. If it is necessary to top the oil up before the next service, is it ok to use the VW 504 specification oil I had just in case it needed topping up pre first service? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the replies. I will reduce the pressure in the front tyres, as suggested.
