Hey there everyone ! Just bought a Fabia vRS a couple of days ago, very happy with the car overall ! Coming from a VTEC honda, the car is very different, although are similar in the way they both have narrow powerbands lol. Just one quick question though, picking the car up from Newcastle and driving to Leeds, noticed black smoke on the rear bumpers. Now I know diesels are smoky but should I be worried or is this normal? Thanks !

Infotainment system switches itself on

petersu · 20 May, 20242 yr

Hi, It happened twice now that I walked past my parked and locked Mk IV Octavia and I noticed that the infotainment system was on and the radio playing. Anyone had this before? Both times it was on a sunny day, so quite warm inside the car. Is there any way so that the infotainment system can only be switched on with a key present? Car is from Sep 2020 with 1941 software version. Thanks, Peter

Skoda Octavia Mk 3 2.0 TDI 150, 2016, Mileage: 270 K km. My Skoda has been making some strange shakings since February. Around the time the engine heat hits 90 degrees, which is normal running temperature, the car shakes harshly, sometimes smoothly, sometimes just once, sometimes 2 or 3, or more, with irregular laps in the following 1 or 2 minutes. During these shakes, the rpm responds and it goes up and down, as I try to speed up to compensate it. After this, the car runs smoothly despite its m

Hi everyone. First off, apologies if this has already been covered. I did take a look but couldn't find anything specific. For history, it's a 13 plate TDI vrs Octavia (MK2) was rattling like a good un' so replaced clutch and flywheel (and slave cylinder) did do a SMFW conversion too. Turns out, that WAS a problem, but the gearbox is also shot, so that's on my list to replace next. Started and drove home fine that night. Next day, I drove it to work (about 20 minutes) no problems. On my way

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
