no limescale here either, most odd why they stick but actually do deploy and spray so it cant be theyre freezing!!!

dealer checked the washers no issues also no recalls, I use additive from VAG that goes down to -30 but the -4 frost / ice on car this morning they stuck out again, they deploy, jet but then stick out, odd!!

stopped my karoq dsg wheel grip issue with Bridgestone Turanza all season 6 as factory fit tyres were hopeless

oh limescale joy , thankfully none in my new home location

cheers will check washer fluid saturation as i use vag / skoda own fluid, they deploy and spray but sometimes dont retract, not had this on previous Skoda's

cold weather test of these Bridgestone Turanza 6 all season have shown them to be excellent, oh I do wish (but know the complexity) if when ordering a car you can select - or pay for the tyres you want - not the ones in this case the built to order came with

It might just be the cold weather but the Matrix Head Light Washer periodically stay deployed after a wash cycle Any experience of this and the solution Car was new in Nov 2023 so a 2024 model year

4 Bridgestone Turanza 6 all season being fitted now, tyre centre stated they could see the wear on factory fit due to low rolling resistance eg not right for car, do i take up with skoda uk and face the usual fob off customer service

ordered 4 (fitting on Saturday), as you have to change them all otherwise theres no benefit plus it can be dangerous

will keep you posted as ordered https://www.bridgestone.co.uk/car-tyres/summer-tyres-turanza/turanza-all-season-6 215/50 R18 92W

hi, in my search the Bridgestone doesn't state XL https://www.bridgestone.co.uk/car-tyres/summer-tyres-turanza/turanza-all-season-6 looking at this and the Goodyear Vector Season Gen 3 is also not XL but I think I'll go with the Bridgestone as good Tyre Test by TUV SUD

thanks for all your time and tech info I also approached Skoda UK (and it would seem maybe as one reply said "had they a supply chain issue" hence the 96 W XL factory fitted) As the Skoda reply to my query was - After reviewing the information in our system and consulting with our Technical Team, I recommend opting for the 215/50 R18 92W tyre size. Please feel free to proceed with changing the tyres to a brand of your choice as this will result in maximum efficiency. So will probably look at either the new Bridgestone 6 or Goodyear Vector all season tyres After reviewing the information in our system and consulting with our Technical Team, I recommend opting for the 215/50 R18 92W tyre size. Please feel free to proceed with changing the tyres to a brand of your choice as this will result in maximum efficiency.

typo meant +8

yep typo below +8 , thanks for intel on tyres, had good experience of goodyear vectors

Bridgestone Turanza ECO Enliten 215 50 R18 96W XL I've these on a 73 plate 1.5 DSG. Appreciate on reading in to them they are designed for max fuel mileage. But they are hopeless below 18 degrees C (UK). Seeking alternatives as their grip is poor to say the least. But to replace with same size etc I've found only one brand Goodyear Eagle F1. There are many brands available but NOT with 96W XL which if ignored would require an insurance declaration. Any thoughts.

know what you mean, oct nice, but i had latest hardware and so many software updates it was a laugh, also actual design of over touch screen set up got i hated it, oh and aerodynamics meant water run off roof on to rear passenger seat, so not easy move, actually looked at loads of other brands but loads with rubbish info systems, i cant see the touch screen trend lasting, its just a cost saving measure

cheers old Karoq, will miss the big boot on Octavia, but not the size the model had grown to (it was my 4th) or the daft infotainment in it

Well enough was enough, my local dealer is great but my 3yr old Octavia was becoming a permanent resident in their workshop due to that notorious infotainment system and its hard/soft ware issues - I would also say it is a dangerous design, fine if youve a passenger to use it but not for the driver...so what next, well happy with dealer (question on how good skoda uk is) but I stayed and now have a Karoq, I can now use the infotainment system , I was tempted by another Octavia as they might have sorted it but didn't want the risk, all cars have issues but my last Octavia oh my gord no (shame as it was my 4th Ocy)

someone asked smerkly on here are all Octavia of this gen an issue Mine is due back in for what its teenagisssh official recall This time not sure, new stupid big screen (even reviewers quote the VAG big screen as a mess if not dangerous) or software, today the new update cleared (so helpful) all my preferences - telephone, map etc Sad as a good drive , Clean Air Zone complaint (though thats not hard) and economical...but rubbish software and that stupid big screen... next purchase on horizon and its going to have real function controls (not hard as many brands realise their error) buck rogers car dashboard looks funky but rubbish in real world

lovely to look at , lovely to sit in, rubbish if dangerous to use on the move infotainment system and there is a safety review on it https://www.autotrader.co.uk/content/news/is-onboard-tech-actually-safe Also the model is beset by software issues. So buy again after several untroubled previous Octavia's , looking at this one , NO I'd not buy this car again. I have heard VAG are to drop this all touch button approach. Dealer excellent, cant say the same about VAG

finally this has been flagged via a technical notice from factory as an issue with the turbo regulator arm

End of contract I'm leaving after 4 Octavia's the brand as this has been rubbish

I have the same, it turns out surprise surprise on this Octavia generation to be now a known issue, either one or both will need to be replaced - drive belt / pulley, mines due in the shop for this

This is the sound, it there's regularly weather parked at lights or moving PXL_20220630_164430424.TS_ID_pOXtFBU6QHqPyAeuA9EHVA==.mp4
