Hi everybody,

Just ordered my first Skoda after 12 Renaults, over 31 years. Renault blew it when they axed the Laguna, so I have followed the advise of countless motoring mag reviews and defected to Skoda with a new 1.4 TSI manual Octavia. Time will tell if it's a wise move, but even the "love everything German" trio on Top Gear find it hard to find fault, except to advise that you may as we'll opt for the Golf to get the badge. That's pretty impressive coming from them. Hopefully, this is the start of a beautiful relationship!

Oil leak
Skoda Octavia Mk2 (2004 - 2013)

Oil leak

beezera10 · 11 minutes ago11 min

2008 Octy 1.9Tdi PD 1Z5 BXE oil leak. I've removed the plastic pan, cleaned everything up and inspected for wet areas. The leak doesn't appear to come from the rear or bottom of the engine, or from the left hand side of the engine (fuel filter side). The tandem pump at the top doesn't appear to be wet. The leak appears to be higher up the engine and just below the oil filter housing where it does seem quite wet. The oil filter housing isn't leaking (from the top, at least). I know how diff

Key not found
Skoda Fabia Mk3 (2014-2021)

Key not found

tyreman1 · 19 hours ago19 hr

Hi all, recently bought a 2016 Fabia 1.2tsi with 1 key and it's the push button start, had 2 mobile locksmiths out and both have the same problem, they can cut and programme the keys so it locks and unlocks and will start the car but the new key they cut will only start the car if held right up to the button and then you get the dreaded "key not found" warning and noise,the original key works fine so I can't see that it's a car fault and I can put up with holding the spare key up to the switch a

Electric tow bar: coding not working: suggestions?

Benja77 · 13 June13 Jun

Hi there! I recently installed on my car an OEM Electric tow bar on my 1.5, but pressing the button inside the trunk, nothing comes out from under the boot. According to Skoda workshop, problem was the control unit: it was the model specific for electric cars with part number Skoda 5H2907383B; in fact looking on VAG the right code for my car is the 5H2907383BLc.

Bootloop media player

johgaz · 4 hours ago4 hr

Hi! My media player keeps getting stuck in a bootloop. Before it started every other time i started the car but this last year its started only once. I was suggested to change the harddrive cause they though it was corrupt so i bought a new one but i dont have any software and cant find any place to buy the base software to install and not just updates. Any tips for what to do or if any has the software available.

Burnt out clutch
Škoda Kamiq

Burnt out clutch

Alex707070 · 13 April13 Apr

Hello, can anyone help! I have a kamiq and at 55,000 my car suddenly failed, teva burning smell and no power. Was told it needed a clutch replacement and brakes replacement. £2,500. I questioned this as I’ve been driving for 34 years and never burnt out a clutch. I was forced to pay. I had raised questions about the car having a fault. Was told it was driver error. Fast forward 8 weeks and my clutch failed again - the same burning smell. Garage are unbelievably wanting £1,500 to replace again!!
