I have a 2018 1.5 TSI Octavia Estate with DSG which I think gets great MPG. Cruising on the motorway or driving round town it drops to 2 cylinder mode and sips fuel. I assume it's the same engine or similar in 2020 model as mine. Although my previous car was a 2004 V70 R with a 2.5 litre 5 cylinder petrol that got at best 25 mpg. My only issue is the stop start can be a bit lump when pulling away from a stop - kinda jerks a bit if you try to pull away as soon as the engine restart.

I got a liner + carpet insert + bumper protector from carmats4u for £50 delivered. It's ok. Fits pretty well. The only complaints are the edge by the boot lip is raised up rather than flush and I had to trim a bit to get the triangle and first aid kit straps in. I always keep floor in the up position to make it easier for the dog to get in and out.

No idea on the byteware one, but I can recommend the new AAWireless TWO adapter. Seems to connect really quickly to phone and car.

So maybe the belt never got done, but Skoda say that's probably ok for 15 years or 180,000 which does seem like a long time. Makes me less concerned. I am ok with all the other serivce items, assuming there isn't anything daft with the filters and plugs where you need special tools or the access is restricted.

Hi, Picked up an Octavia Estate the other day and the garage showed me the service history for the car and said they would send it over. However after a week of chasing I haven't got anywhere with them. So now I am turning to the collective briskoda knowledge. The car has done 135,000 miles and seems all working as it should be. The interior and body work is sound and it has new pilot sport 4 tyres on it so I assume the previous owner did look after it. I've asked Skoda UK for the history they have for it and only got this which is pretty limited: 05/09/2019 Used Car MPC 10,328 05/09/2019 Oil Change Service 10,328 17/10/2018 Used Car MPC 6,063 From my reading on the forum this is what I think should have been done at what mileage: Am I best to errr on the side of caution and change plugs, pollen filter, air filter, oil + filer, and brake fluid and hope that the cam belt was done already (should there be a sticker in the engine bay for this)? The 5 MOTs the car has been through have all come back with only 2 advisories that were gone for the next MOT. I've come from a 2004 Volvo V70 so this is a little bit newer and comes with complicated sounding service intervals. Thanks, Nick
