Just about to collect my second Skoda

Followers

18 September, 201510 yr

Hello from the New Forest, on the south coast of England. Yes, I collect my second Skoda next week - a very nice Octavia Elegance 2.0 TDI hatch. Not new (54 plate), but a lovely drive.

My first Skoda - way back in 1981 - was one of the "American spec" rear engine Estelle models. Big black bumpers, nice alloy wheels and a sunroof!

Memories........

Anyway, thank you for making me welcome and here's to a renewed love affair with Skoda.

Best place to mount a 2kg fire extinguisher – legal requirement in Greece

fr1nklyn · Monday at 17:403 days

Hey guys, I need to keep a 2kg fire extinguisher in my car due to legal requirements in Greece and I’m trying to figure out the best mounting spot. My main concern is securing it properly so it doesn’t rattle or move around while driving. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with this — where did you mount yours, and did you use a dedicated bracket or holder? Any tips on keeping it secure without damaging the interior would be great. Thanks in advance!

Octavia Scout Mk3 Rear Suspension

wallacebob · 25 January, 20215 yr

I have always thought my rear suspension a little soft when towing or even with a full tank. I fitted rubber assisters and this has helped hugely but I would like a little more permanent solution. How can I tell if springs such as these - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lesjofors/9735347 are heavier duty? It does say for towing. Would fitting new shocks (Bilstein B6?) help as well? I suppose crawling under to see what shocks I have, and what springs I have may a good idea anyway? I think the

Scala SE L 2024 Infotainment unit updates

NigelR99 · Tuesday at 13:563 days

For the past few weeks my Skoda Scala Infotainment unit has been prompting me to do updates. Almost everyday I get the prompt to do an update. I only get the one prompt in a day. I believe the procedure is to park, accept the update, turn off the ignition, exit the car and lock it. I think some updates only apply when you next start the car. Searching the web suggested several different ways to get the updates to "Action" A couple of days ago I discovered that notifications may show what is goin

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 Skoda Octavia II, 1.9 TDI, engine code BKC, around 400,000 km. Symptoms: - Central locking works perfectly fine (all doors lock/unlock with both remote and key) - The trip computer/dashboard display works normally - shows mileage, trip info, and door-open warning - However, when I turn the ignition key, NO ignition warning lights come on (no battery light, no oil light, etc.) and the starter motor does not engage at all - completely dead on ignition Important context:
