Went to view a 2003 Octavia L&K TDi estate yesterday and couldn't resist the charms.

Moving from Honda to Skoda, anything in particular to watch out for? I'm used to having a car that just never, ever goes wrong. But I'm also used to having a car that drinks like George Best. :|

Anyhoo... pics coming soon... it's a 130bhp 6 speed model, so I'm happy with the specs- not too different from my current car (160bhp Type S).

Advice, welcomes, etc... all appreciated!

Chaaaaaaars.

Really looking forward to picking up the car on Saturday... not looking forward to putting my Civic back to standard as I've lost most of my modded parts in a house move... :(

Thanks- how much does your vRS pump out? I think we have the same engine... 130PD..?

Welcome I have recently traded my third octy L& K. Great cars and never had a problem other than one being crushed by an Elm Tree. Enjoy!

Hi and welcome aboard.

Iv'e just recently bought a 2008 140bhp Octavia estate L&K spec and I'm still grinning like a cheshire cat by how good it goes, having been driving a nissan x-trail for 5yrs it is a major step up in power and class. having fun trying to find all bits and bobs to finish it off nicely some proper mats and stuff, missing wheel nut covers and such like, let us know how you get on. bye for now

Welcome

You will probably find the biggest problem with the car compared to the Honda is that the fuel gauge needle never seems to move

Thanks for the welcomes- and yes, I'm loving how static the needle is. So far Octimus Prime is working out to be 30% more fuel efficient than the Civic!

Speaker change ??

Atenza · 13 minutes ago13 min

HI Got a new 2025 Karoq Sportline and I'm really disappointed with the speakers, sounds terrible. Had an Octavia from 2014 and that sounded better and that was not good. So my question, if I change the speakers I will need to take off the door covers and all buttons and lights, do I need to disconnect the battery and can I disconnect the battery without a lot flashing lights when connecting it back. Do I need an OBDII to turn off flashing lights or is there a manual way to do so ? Thanks.

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · 21 hours ago21 hr

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th

Škoda Octavia electric seats retrofitting - help with wire loom ?

mikkelvitus · 32 minutes ago32 min

Hi all. I have a Skoda Octavia 2010, the facelift model. I have gotten my hands on two front seats from a Skoda Superb 3T: driver's seat electric, passenger seat not electric. My car is a left-hand drive vehicle. The wire loom beneath both seats has the connector decapitated. That means that the cables, the wire loom, just has all the cables sticking out. Could anyone advise where the different cables should be connected? I'm aware that going from both manually seat's to now electric wit

Hi all, I am trying to connect my car to My Škoda app. When going through set up in the car I have selected to become primary user and complete the link. It fails with a “unable To complete registration” error message. Dealership want £115 to look at the issue so any help would be great.
