Eco Mode
I love it when in Eco mode, you take your foot of the excellerator, and the car starts to go faster, free wheeling, especially down hill, even just a little one. There are two as i get near my house 🏡

Limp mode over 85mph. Code P0234
Sorry S, but I'm surprised no one else has said this, dont take offence. Regarding your 85mph, just do 84mph and all will be ok. 😂

Auto lights
I just switch my lights on when i need them, I've done it for 55yrs, i dont need them on when i put the car in the garage during the summer, DRLs are bright enough at night. 😊

Help with my FOB Keys
I've just changed the battery in mine for the second time since i got the car last October. The first one i didn't change straight away, and had to go through the hassle of linking the key to car. Whilst i was away the key battery sign came on, i had some with me, replaced it straight away, all done, no hassle.

Octavia Scout - What should I know
I purchased a Roomster back in 08, then they bought the Yeti out. I was so disappointed at the time because i liked the look of the Yeti. I went and looked at one at my local Skoda, i wasn't disappointed anymore, i knew i had the best car for the job, space was the key. The Roomster is still in the family and its just passed it's MOT again with no problems. ps,, DSG is great, or is that, are great.

Octavia Scout - What should I know
Not really a reply, just an observation. Last week i went away, it was a three and a half hour drive with the caravan on the back. I pulled into the site and guess what, another Scout had just pulled in infront of me, i said to the driver, if i park up next to you we can make it look like a club meeting of Octavia Scouts. 😷

Octavia Scout - What should I know
I recently purchased a scout, as it was one of the top cars recommended for towing. It had never towed anything even though it had a factory fitted towbar. I'm learning about it all the time, mainly from reading post's on here. I didn't know anything about "haldex" thought it was someone who posted in here (joke). Anyway, i got in touch with Skoda dealer where i got it from and asked if haldex oil had been changed, he said no, we only do that if we are asked too, i wouldn't have known about it, if not for this site, which is brilliant. I think the car is great, but so are none scout cars. One big draw back with the scout, you carnt buy dedicated mud flaps.

Octavia wagon regular vs Scout version, handling, road noise?
In the mode button, there is an offroad mode, press this and the electronics does the rest. But best read manual.
