Hello Everyone!

Just bought myself a 2013 Octavia Vrs (Ocatvia III) in Race Blue.

Really pleased with it so far although I've only had it for two weeks, although my wife thinks I'm having a mid-life crisis...

Went from a steady 148bhp petrol Superb to my Vrs245 about 21 months ago and rediscovered the joys of driving. Fortunately wife shares my enthusiasm as well and told me never to sell it so I won't. Welcome to the forum and think I must be going through the male version of the menopause then.

I've come from a 1.6 Focus (90 something hp I think) so this is a totally different beast!

Door Umbrella

Johngerard · Wednesday at 14:284 days

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

TimoB · 23 hours ago23 hr

Hi Everyone, I have been investigating how I can replace the decorative trim pieces on the console of the O4 (see attached picture (version I would like). The easy part has been figuring out the general part numbers, however I get stuck on the specifics. I know the O4 has two technical variants; one with stock leds and one with RGB leds, and that there is a multitude of different codes for all the different colours/textures. I would like to either find the haptic (square) silver ones or the pla

Looking to remove the spare wheel and lower the boot floor in a 2016 4x4 Yeti - can this be done?

OwenR · 1 hour ago1 hr

I am looking to remove the spare wheel and lower the boot floor in a 2016 4x4 Yeti - so that there is a larger flat area once the seats are removed. This is what my searches have brought up regards doing this: "With the Haldex four-wheel-drive system, the rear differential and 4x4 running gear sit directly beneath the boot. To accommodate those parts, Skoda manufactured the metal floor pan of the 4x4 chassis with a raised "hump". Even without a spare wheel, a 4x4 Yeti's standard floor sits a fe

Goodbye to my Octavia MK3

paulski · 18 hours ago18 hr

Been here a little under 7 years. Great forum, I'm sure I'll hang around still but I've moved my octy on now for a VW Tiguan. The Octavia was a cracking car, reliable too. I took it from 47k to 120k miles, and it really didn't disappoint. The only issue it had was the heater matrix, which I had replaced eventually after freezing hands in winter!! It will pass to a new owner with full service history (Independent Vasstechnik in Eastbourne who are just great with all VW group cars). I've left

Gearbox Emergency Mode

DRW · Thursday at 19:332 days

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again
