hi guys, ive heard and researched that the mk1 Octavia estate shares the same chassis and running gear as a mk4 golf estate right? as the suspension s the same and seat runners etc etc! but Im not sure if the dash is the same? would much prefer a mk4 dash to be honest!

does anyone have any ideas?

cheers

Four wheel drive/AWD
Skoda Kodiaq MK2 (2024- )

Four wheel drive/AWD

Colin1051 · 2 hours ago2 hr

I confess that all 5 of my previous Kodiaqs were AWD but I only realised recently that AWD is actually a bit of a misnomer. Drive to the rear axle is only engaged when the road surface requires it - mud, very wet road surface etc. The Haldex unit controls this engagement. In normal road conditions the car is driven by the front wheels only thus saving fuel. I accept that I may be in the minority here so I'd love to hear from others who were similarly misguided.

Power steering red light after dashboard disconnection

Alexis33 · 40 minutes ago40 min

Hello, As mentioned in the new user section I recently bought a 2012 Skoda Octavia Combi 2. I had to replace LEDs on the dashboard cluster, because speed, oil temp and fuel needles were not lighting up (one burnt LED on each line). I’ve also decided to replace them with red LED (for fun) and yes, I’ve replaced the resistor to match the current draw. After putting everything back together and reconnecting it to the car, I have one issue, the power steering red light is on… I drove a few mil

keyfob misbehaving seriously

somean49 · 14 June14 Jun

Octy 2 1.4TSI ESTATE CAXA Quite uncertain where to enter this question. The keyfob#1 has started to cause serious problems with the car alarm system. So far keyfob#2 is working with no problem. Car alarm starting randomly and only disconnecting the battery helped. Yesterday the alarm kept sounding/flashing even when the engine was running - undrivable. Is there a home cure whereby I can remap/reset the key fob? My very helpful auto sparks is unable to help
