Hello everyone! I'm Dániel, from Hungary. I recently became a Skoda owner. Before this, I drove a Leon 1M TDi. I hope it won't be a big disappointment after the Seat.

Hi, welcome.

It depends which VWŠkoda mode (and its age, prior use, engine, gearbox) that you got as to how it will compare with the VW-SEAT Leon but in many ways they will be very similar as they share VW/VAG parts and design.

Plenty of specific and general information, advice and experience on the various models and generally on this site have a look at the model and age specific forum(s) and the more general forums.

Good luck.

2015 Octavia vRS CR TDI, "Oil Stove" CUP engine. I've already read up on the oil consumption problems beforehand. I'm not afraid of the repair yet, as I used to fix motorcycles and I even bought the Seat with a faulty engine; I fix everything myself (except for the machine work, of course, which I have to take to a shop). I'm primarily here for information: which manufacturer is worth choosing for certain parts, and what are the best solutions.

I will look for the appropriate topic then. Thank you!

Always plenty to fix or service, maintain on a VW product, whether you want or like to or not, an interest in computers also helps given German marques enjoying overcomplexity. If you have not already seen them Octavia specific forums for you -
