Must be the flat tyre.

Nice to see someone trying to bring some nostalgia back into the name Skoda.

Cool, this makes me all tingley - the maroon J plate rapid in the background reminds me of a 135ric I use to have, later selling it onto my brother back in '97.

I'm currently restoring this car, and have taken a few pics of progress so far, is anyone here interested in seeing them? I've posted them on other Skoda forums, but I'm not so sure wether you guys would really be interested as most of you don't seem to like this type of Skoda?

I would like to see the pics.

Isn't it a spare engine. In case the one in the front breaks:)

I expect so - my S110L got through three engines before I gave up on it!

Exhaust gas getting into the coolant
Skoda Octavia Mk3 (2013 - 2020)

Exhaust gas getting into the coolant

Marski · 30 June30 Jun

Hi, I've recently sold my MK2 and bought a MK3. I'm having issues with the exhaust gas getting into the coolant. I need to find out what is causing this. Is it likely to be the EGR or something more serious like a blown head gasket or a crack in the block? I've only had this car for 5 weeks so am looking to approach the dealer I bought it from. They only gave a 30 day warranty. They already had it in for a week and were supposed to repair this but they haven't done it.

Stage 2 saga update- good, bad and ugly

Stage 2 saga update- good, bad and ugly

MarioVrs · Sunday at 19:464 days

Little update since i posted about my Superb 280 going stage 2 back in may. I have questioned the high torque figure ( 618nm) with the tuner and was assured that it's a safe map, ok i left it at that. Three days after remap, car starts burning oil without even being pushed hard. So i switched to thicker 5w40 Castrol Edge ( issue rectified) Week later i pinned it from traffic lights and car cut power after 5000rpm. Gear changes felt really rough and jerky. Questioned it with the tuner, got nowher

Creaking front-end

Creaking front-end

travs · Monday at 12:294 days

History is that since the coilovers were done, the front-left top mount has aways creaked on turning; classic top mount sound of juddering movement. I've tried rotating the spring a little in case that's a difference but I need to do try some more just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. In the meantime, the front right has developed a creak which is different. It's a heavier creaky rubber feel to it which is triggered on minor movement/weight shift. Going over speedbumps obviously makes

1.2 TSI loss of power
Skoda Octavia Mk2 (2004 - 2013)

1.2 TSI loss of power

Papez · 2 July2 Jul

Hi, hopefully you won't mind my question here - I don't have an Octavia, but its close relative from a Spanish brand. But mechanically, they are same. Anyway, I have a 77kW CBZB. It worked flawlessly for the year I own the car, but when this summer started, I noticed occasional loss of power. It only happens in hot weather (around 30 degrees and up) with AC on. In most cases, it happened when I wanted to accelerate after mild climbing at lower gear at ~2000RPM. It feels almost like a limp mode

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has come across this exact issue, because after 7 months and multiple visits, neither my dealer nor Škoda’s technical support has been able to identify the cause. Car: Škoda Superb Sportline, 2021, 200kW Problem: When braking, the side sensors intermittently trigger a warning that there is an obstacle very close to the car — even though there is nothing there. It happens sporadically (not every time I brake) What has already been done (all without success):
