strange goings on...:P

It starts perfectly everyday as usual but gets fussy when i have a snoop around other cars!! its weird! Everytime I go to the Skoda dealer or any other make to have a look around on whats on offer or even mention i might change my car! it drives without a fuss once its been cleaned and polished, then other days it feels like it cant be arsed like its grumpy so it just feels less enthusiastic? maybe its just me! but i think its excited coming to uni with me:D

any of you lot have odd stories?!

Octavia Scout DSG horsepower?

Sangrail · 7 minutes ago7 min

Dear Forum I'm looking about for a new-to-me Scout in the UK, and am surprised to see that some of the later (2018/19) DSG Scouts are advertised as having the 148/150hp engines. I had been under the impression that UK Scouts were either 150hp manual or 184hp DSG - but that seems not necessarily to be so. Does anyone know whether there are indeed 150hp DSG vehicle about - or have these simply been inadvertently misdescribed by the vendors? Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Reversing camera display change after update.

NormanE · 18 hours ago18 hr

Whilst in France last week my car received an infotainment update, The car is a 2024 Octavia Vrs diesel hatchback, with a reversing camera retrofitted by East Yorkshire Retrofit. After the update two odd things happened. Firstly the reversing camera did not work at all the first time I reversed the car after the update. Then it worked, but instead of the full screen showing the camera view, it is now two thirds camera view and one third a top-down outline of the car with curved lines showing the

Fuse for glove box light?

Fuse for glove box light?

BobFrapples · Tuesday at 14:393 days

The light in the glove box has stopped working. I know the bulb is okay, and I’ve used a multimeter across the contacts on the connector which is showing no voltage at all. Going through the list of fuses, the glovebox light fuse is not listed separately or even as a part of other lighting. It would be useful to know the correct fuse and if any other items also tie to it, since everything else works fine and it can narrow it down to the switch. Thanks in advance!

Mk2 octavia vrs p2196 engine fault code

proshadow · 27 minutes ago27 min

Having issues with the p2196 engine code. Code reader reads bank1 stuck so had it replaced today by a garage and its clearly new but after 30 miles of her eating fuel like ive never seen before the engine code has come back on with the same code. Only had the car 3 months but it has got egr and dpf delete so could this play a part into why this code is recurring or could it be electrical issue. It definitely has electrical issues as it tells you to check numberplate lights that are clearly worki

End of the road?

End of the road?

Vijay2018 · Monday at 12:354 days

Hey guys, Sadly it's looking like my Octavia days which have been pretty brilliant could be at an end, unless I can find a replacement engine. Looking like a blown head gasket/cracked/warped head so it's not driveable now and boiling away (95C+ even without the thermostat in). It's also had a burning engine oil issue for years. It's a 110 ASV engine. So my options are: Say goodbye to my brilliant Octavia ☹️ Try and find a replacement engine, throw it in and hope. Downsides are obviously the
