Have a read in the relative Octavia section - I am sure there will be threads with advice on buying for you to have a read at!

Constant DPF regen
Skoda Octavia Mk3 (2013 - 2020)

Constant DPF regen

ITS_RICEY · Monday at 09:375 days

Hi! Octavia vRS TDI 2015 - For a while I've been experiencing constant DPF regens - the idle tick over constantly sits at 1K with the radiator fans running for a while after the ignition is turned off. I drive motorway miles daily so it's not a symptom of short trips although on longer 2 trip ~2hrs the Particle Filter warning will appear but clears after ignition reset. I've noticed the regens are having a massive impact on fuel economy (only managing ~350 miles on a full tank when previously

In 2022-2023 I had problems downloading the updates fro my Skoda Kamiq and eventually it had to go in to the dealers to be brought up to date - a four or five job on the computer. I can't recall any notification of updates since then until recently when a few weeks ago the message appeared on the centre display that updates were available and I tapped on the download option and then OK to the message about sharing my position. This occurred a number of times every few days or so and I began to

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles

Binx1310 · 22 May22 May

I bought a sportline flat bottom steering wheel but it was the heated version with the view button. I knew the airbag would have a bit of a gap but I didn’t like how it looked or felt overall. So I now have that for sale if anyone is interested. I am on the hunt for a round leather steering wheel. Version with phone button not view button, but with the DSG paddles. If anyone can point me in the direction of the correct part number or even if you have one for sale please let me know!

Hi, Thinking of trading in my Octavia for a newsih Karoq but I'd quite like park assist and a rear parking camera as I'm rubbish at parking in tight spots. Do any of the Karog models have this? Thanks, Matt
