I'm off to test drive the New Fabia next weekend:D and as you can imagine I can barely contain the excitement!

I read somewhere that the tiptronic has "Lifetime" fluid that never needs replacing, I'm quite concerned about this as my Getz needs new fluid every 40k, because it gets hot, forms deposits and loses it's lubricating qualities,

I beleive this is the same box thats in the Octavia Tiptronic, can anyone shed some light on this "Lifetime Fluid" and if it will hold up?

Climatronic fan not working - Octavia Mk2 2006

eddie2 · 2 hours ago2 hr

The fan for air conditioning and heater on my 2006 Octavia Mk2 L&K is not working. I have checked the fuses and they are OK. Does it have a relay that might have failed? I am hoping it is not the fan unit itself, as this seems to be peculiar to RHD models with climatronic and was discontinued by Skoda in 2022. (Part no. 1K2 820 021).

Correct Spark Plugs?

Correct Spark Plugs?

nbramwel · 1 hour ago1 hr

I have a 2022 Karoq 110PS which will need the spark plugs changing soon. I have looked at a couple of on line retailers but they quote different thread lengths for their plugs against my registration. These are 20.5mm, 26.5mm and 28mm. I don't want to fit the wrong plugs so am asking advice on which is the correct plug length for my car? I believe NGK plugs will have been fitted by Skoda originally so will be looking to stay with NGK if I can. Many thanks.

Does anyone have any views on how often you should get your air conditioning re-gassed?

Full Matrix Led headlights on motorway

Rafal78 · 23 January, 20242 yr

Ok, Matrix Leds are fantastic. When driving on A or B class roads they working perfect, illuminates both sides of the road and cuts out cars at the front or oncoming traffic. I've never been flashed. When I tried to use them on motorway it's a different story. Right headlamp is illuminating as expected but left one doesn't illuminate side of the road but only gives a lot of light far at the front of the car.. I recently followed Audi Q7 with matrix leds and his headlights gave massiv

Flat Battery in Key Fob - Warning

TheAardvark · 15 June15 Jun

My recent (non-Skoda) cars have given dashboard warnings when the battery in the key fob runs down. This gives the driver the opportunity to change the battery and to keep the key functional. The battery in my Superb's key fob recently ran down, and it went from fully operational (working the button "plip" as well as the keyless entry) to completely flat during the course of a day at work. No warnings were displayed. I was unable to plip the car open, and had to walk to a shop, purchase a ne
