Octavia Aircon Problems - Problem Solved?

Featured Replies

Hi guys, quick post as don't frequent these forums very often, however if you check out my last few posts you will see that i got a brand new Octavia TSI company car and the aircon was crap, i learned from comments on my thread that this was a common problem with the Octavias, and whilst browsing Google it appeared obvious that Skodas aircon was crap.

So, i almost gave up thinking i had to live with it for the next 4 years until its due for renewal, and thought it was a small price to pay for such a great performing and super quick car.

However, i phoned up Skoda, booked it in for a service, mentioned about the aircon, they checked it, it had no gas in it (brand new car had no gas!), they regassed it, said it was working, delivered it back to me, from the moment i received it back it still didn't work, left it for a week, thought it was obviously just crap aircon as mentioned above, as they said it was working fine, and was going to give up, but one last phone call, they came back out, took it back, noticed it ran out of gas again, ended up finding it was a very small leak on the radiator (think it was the aircon radiator if they have their own one?).

Anyway, had the car back about 2 months now and its still ice cold like a -20 freezer, does the job fantastic and certainly nothing wrong with Skoda airconditioning i can assure you! :)

I hope the above may help others who have this problem, as they certainly are a nice cracking car. :)

All the best.
