In Greece, we have space saver wheel as standard, in every trim or version-including seven seaters-except the iv version

I was always doing all kinds of works, from the most simple, to the most complicated in official network service points. Since my old octavia a specific shop, offered me the best solutions in really competitive prices...So trust is built over the years, even for a simple oil change...Further more, since the beginning of the year, there is a special campaign in Greece, offering guarantee expansion up to 10 years, or 180.000 kms, if you do all your services, at the official network shops. This campaign includes all cars that are still under factory guarantee-mine is 11 months old...so, since I don't pay something more, it is important to continue my habits, and give myself, peace of mind, even if it is only about oil and filters...

Wow....I changed first battery last month, after I got a message, and this after 10-11 months of continuous use...I thought, that remote is greedy...I have an octavia 2002, with original batteries in remotes, still in use....but as I see in your case, things can go worse....I have no idea, but it seems your key is constantly in use..

I have the selection version, with cognac suite....noise can be heard at top level, 3. But, while level 1 can be barely noticed, level 2 is very good and what I usually use on my trips, 3 is ultra hard....I mean really hard...first time I used it I was really hot, and a bit sweaty, I tried in full power l. 3, and all my back got frozen...couldn't turn my body, for four days...I don't know if there are differences from car to car or ot is a malfunction of yours....I would bet on the second, though

Of course service is needed...older models had to have fluid and specific filter changed every 30.000 to 60.000 kms...I am not sure about newer models intervals...

This is not correct...I own an octavia l k as well from year 2002...by that time, a small percentage of power -usually about 5 to 10%- was delivered to the rear axle....but every model after 2010 and later, uses no power at the rear axle, unless it is needed.... So to answer the main question...it was a known characteristic from the beginning...not misguided as well...

In manual says clearly, for legal reasons...so it must be something mandatory there as well....

No way...I think....

Seems to like a regen....probably, it was some kind of interruption during this process

Greece is not the best criterion, but so far, the 4x4 2.0LT tdi version, has shown no malfunction...8 months, 19.000 km...although to be honest, I am not accustomed to it much, so it has been used have of the time...

I believe so...usually stuff where electronics are involved, either work since very beginning, or they don't ... but I would place it the same way, but from different point view...it's not that I am lucky, rather seems that, unfortunately, you, were unlucky....anyway, I hope you find the best solution that fits you soon

It is true that I have heard so from others as well....and it was my biggest worry, at the time of delivery...but so far, knock on wood, seems to be a false alarm....

I think you exaggerate a bit, when you say it is a death trap... First of all, Lane assist is mandatory....and the fact that you don t find helpful, doesn't mean that it is not for others... Next, the speed warning is not that loud at all, except of being mandatory too. If it is not connected to your sound system, then you barely can hear it... Regarding virtual pedal now, it is true that it has happened to me a couple of times...but there is a reason...like you said you were organizing stuff in the boot..at this moment feet, are exactly facing the virtual pedal sensor, and their motion is read as a command to close...it is a matter of getting used to it and treat it accordingly.... Finally, regarding AEB, it is true that I have heard so from a couple of drivers, but personally, it has been engaged a couple of times, that really needed to... Other than that, I find it to be one of the best cars I ve ever had, which of course isn't quite a reliable criterion, but among other drivers I know, it is far one of the best in its class...

So you have the 204 2.0 tsi...and yes, the 265, is the rs...anyway, 12 l around city stands between normal and bottom high...but I guess, you should expect something like that, from an almost 2 ton car...besides, after my small ownership, and paying attention to other's comments, this is not the best suited city car...in city center and around , my diesel writes around 8-8.5...so, 10+should be considered as expected...the vrs, gets around 12-13 l in city, and around 10 on motorway, if not pushed hard...otherwise, you can easily get around 14-15 l/100kmh...the car is big enough to expect something less...maybe the hybrids, but in that case, they are non awd...that s why most recommend diesel as the most suitable powertrain for this car...for me there was no alternative to diesel, as it is the only awd imported to Greece...

I meant 0-100, not 9-100, and difference, not differ!!!
