New Octavia VRS

30 August, 201411 yr

Hi folks, I've just purchased an Octavia VRS 2.0T petrol estate after a long time lurking on here. My car is one of the very early ones, June 2013 and it seems to be without the sound generator. It does have the Columbus satnav which is a great bit of kit.

I'm really happy with it although I've already added black mirror caps and I have a black grille surround on the way from the Czech Republic. I've also changed it to LED bulbs for the rear number plate.

I live in Central Scotland and I'm considering a few VCDS tweaks as well as a retro-fit of cruise control if anyone reasonably local knows how to do it.

keyfob misbehaving seriously

somean49 · Sunday at 18:052 days

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

Octavia 2 Dsg not changing gear.

kenbo · 1 hour ago1 hr

I thought I would post about this issue where my car was holding onto third gear, initially on a random basis. I could move the lever to manual and change up as normal. There were no codes and when my mechanic tried reading live data, the car was changing normally. I tried posting on Facebook but all doom and gloom, mechatronics faulty, clutch gone, etc. My car is now 18 years old any of those repairs effectively mean scrapping the car. I had read somewhere that the gearbox takes a signal from

Flat Battery in Key Fob - Warning

TheAardvark · Monday at 18:331 day

My recent (non-Skoda) cars have given dashboard warnings when the battery in the key fob runs down. This gives the driver the opportunity to change the battery and to keep the key functional. The battery in my Superb's key fob recently ran down, and it went from fully operational (working the button "plip" as well as the keyless entry) to completely flat during the course of a day at work. No warnings were displayed. I was unable to plip the car open, and had to walk to a shop, purchase a ne
