I know when I did mine I did quite a bit of searching through the threads and the answer was the genuine vag stuff you buy from the dealers as its cheap enough. Other brands tend to not work so well

Dealer stuff sounds good.

Agree with all above. Vag only.

And the old undo the fill plug before draining the old oil out.

The VAG oil was literally half the price of synthetic from my local factors too which was a bonus

Lost 29-Byte ABS Long Coding — 2014 Škoda Octavia 1.8 TSI

Salmannn · 2 minutes ago2 min

Hello, I accidentally ran a master initialization adaptation reset inside my ABS module using OBDeleven, and it completely cleared out my long coding profile. My module is now showing a persistent 'Control module not coded' fault. My diagnostic device identifies the blank block template as a 29-byte structure. Could someone with access to an MQB MK100 offline software calculator help me generate my matching configuration code? Here is my hardware and chassis data: Vehicle: 2014 Škoda Octavia Mk3

1.2 TSI loss of power

1.2 TSI loss of power

Papez · 38 minutes ago38 min

Hi, hopefully you won't mind my question here - I don't have an Octavia, but its close relative from a Spanish brand. But mechanically, they are same. Anyway, I have a 77kW CBZB. It worked flawlessly for the year I own the car, but when this summer started, I noticed occasional loss of power. It only happens in hot weather (around 30 degrees and up) with AC on. In most cases, it happened when I wanted to accelerate after mild climbing at lower gear at ~2000RPM. It feels almost like a limp mode
