Festive Greetings from Oldham

Hi all, just registered with the site after finding that Santa had called early!

I came home from work to find a nice shiny, silver Octavia VRS sitting on the drive!! :eek:After driving it some weeks ago when dropping off my in laws at the airport (I know, I know....lots of jokes to be had here!! ) I had the use of it for two weeks. Picked them up again and joked with father in law about not returning it to him, he told me I could have it when he'd finished with it!!!! Obviously thought he was joking so was bowled over when I opened the giftbag I found, all the paperwork, just been serviced and had new boots all round!!! Awesome!!

Have to say I really love this car already, first Skoda but certainly won't be the last. I've made a start in the forums to see if there are any common "issues" that seem to occur, I've already noticed the "mooing" so will address that one shortly!

Anyway, take care all and keep posting......helps newbies like me no end!!

Tony.

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

TimoB · 14 hours ago14 hr

Hi Everyone, I have been investigating how I can replace the decorative trim pieces on the console of the O4 (see attached picture (version I would like). The easy part has been figuring out the general part numbers, however I get stuck on the specifics. I know the O4 has two technical variants; one with stock leds and one with RGB leds, and that there is a multitude of different codes for all the different colours/textures. I would like to either find the haptic (square) silver ones or the pla

remove the engine splash shield underneath the front bumper

Rickssokda · Wednesday at 19:373 days

Hi all, I'm trying to get at the lower radiator hose in my 2016 Octavia. I've looked on google and found that I should remove the seven t25 screws. 5 on the bumper splash shield and one on each side connected to the fender. The shield seems loose, but it won't come off and I don't want to try and pry it too much as I'm concerned that I'll crack it. Can someone tell me what additional screws, or maybe clips, need to be removed to get this off? many thanks for all info

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · Friday at 22:021 day

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Coolant pump belt change

Coolant pump belt change

Flyinghigh · Monday at 10:535 days

My 1.8tsi Octavia scout coolant pump was leaking via the impeller. I'd like to change the small belt (not the big timing belt!) that spins the impeller as well as the pump etc but the left handed bolt is stuck. I've not tried too much force as the captive gear it holds moves when I try and I'm concerned that I might break something internally. Would anybody have any experience removing this bolt or known methods of doing so? The photo shows the gear and the bolt I'm refering to is holding this g
