Doubleoctavia

Great idea 💡

I have ordered some steel bar to cut and bend to make a tool to Go in the grille and reach the depth and up to the bit under that needs pushing. Off away for a week so tackle it when I get home

So I put every possible thing I could need next to me ramped it and slid underneath and took tray off. Absolutely no sign of the catch to poke it as in the YouTube videos. Lit it up and think maybe it's covered by plastic. Put it all back together as that's enough pain for today. Hmmm 🤔 next idea 💡

Hi Did the heater matrix a few months ago as the wifes was showing the same issue,it got cold and her solution as always was to borrow my Octavia leave me with the problem 😂 Anyway, this job looked intimidating if you see some YouTube videos. When you see how you did yours it should give confidence. I managed it fine but very slow as back is agony. But with a little help it went well. The car is now better than mine on the heating front 😂 Just stuck bonnet ATM (I have a post on)

Hi Just joined again, see welcome post. I'm currently awaiting a spine operation so getting down and spanner wielding is very limited. Wife's bonnet release was not working so managed to get enough on the handle to crack it. Gave her my Octavia 🫣 to get by. Anyway old catch out from grille top new cable through connected. Played with catch,lock pull and unlock with bonnet open. All good, shut bonnet and pull handle in car zip nada nothing. It looks like it is possibly stretched or has it come out from its little box under the bonnet ? Well normally I would just go up down undertray off poke the catch from under and take it from there. All the time in the world. Unfortunately if I am going down there I need to have everything down and perhaps a bit of a heads up what to expect on how easy it is to push the catch. Any advice really appreciated.

Hi everyone Been on here before and enjoyed reading posts and took a few tips. Site took a back seat as I spent a couple of years doing up a VWT4. Spinal operation and another due so the T4 has gone. We are Double Skoda because we have one Octavia each. 2014 Blue 2.0 TDI cr 2013 Black 2.0TDI cr Both on about 155,000 miles Bought about four years ago. I can't do as much because of my injury but I do get son in law to do stuff under instruction which helps keep garage bills down. I am north Wales based and have vcds which I am happy to scan for someone if they are stuck and don't want to just fire the parts canon, if I'm about. Doing a bonnet catch and front cable release cable ATM so will post separately on that stuck shut one.
