Hi, Just about to take the plunge and buy a new Octavia VRs, currently drive a 06/55 plate Mondeo ST 155. looked at many different cars BMW 320, Merc C class, Alfa 159 as well as another Mondeo Titanium X sport (all used ) wasn't till I went to the local Skoda dealer to look at a late used Octavia (just from an interest point of view, never really thought about owning one). The sales lady explained the current VAT free deals which made the car very good value, I was even more surprised by how the VRS diesel drove. So I am just about to place an order

Flat Battery in Key Fob - Warning

TheAardvark · Monday at 18:334 days

My recent (non-Skoda) cars have given dashboard warnings when the battery in the key fob runs down. This gives the driver the opportunity to change the battery and to keep the key functional. The battery in my Superb's key fob recently ran down, and it went from fully operational (working the button "plip" as well as the keyless entry) to completely flat during the course of a day at work. No warnings were displayed. I was unable to plip the car open, and had to walk to a shop, purchase a ne

I used a copy of this MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490 if anyone else needs, the site I think I had it from was mibsolution.one is currently down though. I was wary of the copy I had and passage of time, but it worked fine installed, I just have to clear the fault code ( have odbeleven but pro ran out and doesn't cover the adaption by looks of it) Excuse the state of my interior I don't use the car that much and could use a vaccuum.

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

OEM brakes vs Zimmermann – rear pad availability?

justas1982 · yesterday at 05:231 day

I was never happy with the performance of the original brakes. The braking efficiency felt poor, and in wet weather the discs would quickly develop surface rust. When braking in damp or rainy conditions, the noise made it sound like I was driving an old car with worn-out brakes. After 50,000 km, I decided to replace the brakes. I installed Zimmermann discs and pads on the front axle. Braking performance didn't improve noticeably, but the annoying noise in wet weather is finally gone. Now I only

Skoda Kodiak 4 and 2 wheel drive difference in specs?

Jim Reire · 25 May25 May

Hi all, Skoda Kodiak 4x4 AWD, and Skoda Kodiak front wheel drive....what codes or description spec's etc. differentiate between them ? My problem is that while my newest purchase of a 2020 Skoda Kodiak , 150 HP and Front wheel drive, is a delight in every way, my car insurance has gone through the roof, and when I queried it, I was informed that one of then reasons for the increase (more than.€200) is that its a 4x4 AWD. The problem is, there is only front wheel drive, and the rear wheels are f
