Another question....how do you turn the eco mode off....Skoda Octavia 2019 technology.  Had a look in manual and on the screen but couldn’t find any info or a button...can it be turn off or to normal?

thanks

Do you have a drive mode button in front of the gearstick?

No there is no button for this just one for the parking sensors and another to turn off/on the stop/start function whilst at lights ect

There is a button that you press near the gearstick which toggles through different driving modes but on my 2019 car it always reverts back to Normal every time I switch it off, so not really sure how yours can be stuck in Economy mode.

Will have look as may have missed something....it’s a new  car (used) and technology has moved on since my last. Skoda -an estate 4x4.  I am loving all the new tech and driving this car with dsg. 
thanks

As far as I know, the only way to change mode is using the button which makes the 'drive mode selection' screen appear:

 

 

 

Oh actually, I think you have a 1.0 TSi in which case, I don't think they get drive mode selection:

 

In which case, I'm not sure how you get out of eco mode...

 

It could just be a gearbox thing, I don't have much experience with a DSG, maybe put it in sport mode?

 

 

Thanks or info, guess I am always in eco mode? Will check setting in display....still happy 😃 as never had

 a car with so much tech....been behind for years!!

If you are always in Eco Mode then technically there is a fault with your car. Skoda changed the mode setup from the early Mark3 cars which stayed with the mode that you selected until you changed it again. The newer ones like the 2019 SE Tech cars always re-start in the Normal Driving Mode and won't stay with any other chosen mode. I asked the garage about that as it was annoying me having to keep changing it all the time, when my earlier Mark 3 Octavia just stayed with the selected mode indefinitely.

Ah found it, just in case anyone is reading.  On the Octavia technology 1.0  , mine is 2019 there is no button but in the onscreen menus there is the facility to change the driving mode ( it’s called driving programs if I remember correctly?) good to know it’s there if I want to change it.....

Thanks

Is there much difference in mpg in eco to normal mode, I’m a taxi driver so do plenty miles but as I’m stop start a lot I just don’t bother and leave it on normal ? 

I can get more mpg in eco mode, but that's probably as I'm trying as I'm in that mode!
