A mature driver with not many years of experience, that's me.

Hi 😁

My firstcar was Fiat Panda - I was a learner, wanted a cheap car to takw me from A to B.

Then I had Suzuki Alto 2014. Great, lovely car, cheap, cheerful, good looking but small and frail.

I now bought Skoda Octavia 2013 to accompany my family's grovong need.

1.2 TSI in RED 🙃😭😁 buth the milage was only 71k and the price was just under £5k so I bit.

Getting used to the size. It actually matters (who knew 🤷).

Foumd this forum/community as I am about to install the reverse cam and there is a great thread here I am about to follow.

Wish me luck (?)🍀😀

Hello, welcome to the forum. Bit of a late starter, huh?

Indeed but I lived in London for years so the idea of having a car wasn't just that appealing when the Tube was just there 😎

Afternoon all. Early this year, i made the plunge. I moved across to Skoda from VW. Perhaps they are all the same or perhaps im just getting older and actually, having a decent car with a few less gadgets and a more affordable price tag is more important to me. Anyway, hi all.

Skoda Octavia Mk3 (2013 - 2020)

remove the engine splash shield underneath the front bumper

Rickssokda · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi all, I'm trying to get at the lower radiator hose in my 2016 Octavia. I've looked on google and found that I should remove the seven t25 screws. 5 on the bumper splash shield and one on each side connected to the fender. The shield seems loose, but it won't come off and I don't want to try and pry it too much as I'm concerned that I'll crack it. Can someone tell me what additional screws, or maybe clips, need to be removed to get this off? many thanks for all info

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c
