HI All,

I'm just getting my bearings on the forum... as I"m very much interested in buying an Octavia estate... and I've never owned a Skoda before. but from everything I read, they really get you the most bang for your buck, in terms of build quality, efficiency, design, safety, price everything...

Since my wife and I had a baby 10 months ago, our little ford fiesta just doesn't cut it for long trips with the little boy and our labrador, so we're going bigger...

The only trouble I have with buying a Skoda is that everybody on our street seems to own an Octavia!!!

When in Rome.

leaking from slavecylinder pipeconnection

jespers · Friday at 21:531 day

Hi all. Ok where to start. I have a 05 Octavia 1.6, I have just changed the complete clutch unit (Incl Dual Mass Flywheel) today, and replaced the Slave Cylinder with a new one, fitted everything back together and started to bleed the slave cylinder, I noticed that it started to leak from the pipe connection fitting that fits into the slave cylinder, now every time I press the clutch pedal (to bleed the clutch), fluid leaks from this joint. I have also changed the oring and the hood on top, but

A/C not reaching to coldest settings temp

OmerGarabagi · Friday at 14:561 day

Hi all. I have a 2012 Octavia with the 1.2 TSI CBZB engine and a single-zone, 3-knob climate control system. I live in a Middle Eastern country with a hot climate, and the AC on its coldest setting is performing okay, but not great. Even after refilling the refrigerant gas, there was still no improvement. When I point a laser thermometer into an air vent with the system set to maximum cold and air recirculation turned on, it reads about 14c. While I have read about the compressor control valve f

SelfEvolution · 17 hours ago17 hr

So I am now the proud owner of three head units. One which is locked and I can't decode. One with a broken screen which works (except for display) and one that is a piece of crap aftermarket one which won't turn on. For my sanity, please could someone recommend a decent unit, that doesn't require me to cut wires, that is not a piece of crap and fits into the existing trim and doesn't look terrible. There's so many out there and it's hard to know which ones are good.

Octavia mk2 1.6 fsi starter motor bendix always engaged

raf300 · 9 hours ago9 hr

Hi all My Skoda 1.6 fsi 2006 petrol has an issue with the starter motor. It could be mechanical or electrical and I need any advice you can give m. Today I noticed a horrible grinding noise after start up. After researching the problem I discovered it is the bendix either staying jammed out against the flywheel or not retracting once the car has started. Does anyone know how to find all the relays? The only relays found was in the engine bay (no 100) The Skoda manual only has fuse locations.

I used a copy of this MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490 if anyone else needs, the site I think I had it from was mibsolution.one is currently down though. I was wary of the copy I had and passage of time, but it worked fine installed, I just have to clear the fault code ( have odbeleven but pro ran out and doesn't cover the adaption by looks of it) Excuse the state of my interior I don't use the car that much and could use a vaccuum.
