Octavia vRS Possible purchase

Followers

18 February, 200818 yr

Being new to the Skoda forum, I have been looking into purchasing an Octavia vRS 2001 Y plate with 104k on the clock.

Having been a ford owner for the last 5 years, I was wondering of any serious issues regarding high mileage 1.8T engines? Also, the car I'm looking at has a warning light on indicating something wrong with the exhaust system, any ideas?

The car is seriously tidy, full SSH and drives like new.

Oh, the other thing I wasn't sure about is the starter motor tends to overrun on startup, is this serious?

I really like the car and am so tempted to buy it so any help/advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!

Hiya.

Try running a search for buying tips and comments on mileage, then place any remaining queries in Skoda Support -> Octavia 1.

TL:DR - hi! superb 280: wet skiddy without quality back tyres? Hello everybody, New to the forum and owning a skoda. I've got a 2019 superb sportline 280 hatch. Are they known to get a bit unsettled at the back end in the wet? With the job I do I've driven both manual and dsg Haldex skodas (octavias and kodiaq), quite hard, and never experienced this. Granted the work cars are all diesel with Michelin crossclimates. I've had the car 2-3 months now and there's a bit of stuff in the boot. K

Recirculating Button not working

tombee · 11 May11 May

Have come to use the A/C for the first time this past week and noticed that pressing the button for the recirculating air doesn’t appear to work. Button presses but nothing happens it doesn’t light up and stays off Also through the media center doesn’t do anything, wondering if anyone has come across this before? Or is it a trip to Skoda?

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?

Warning light for non-functioning light bulbs

Warning light for non-functioning light bulbs

adoks10 · 29 minutes ago29 min

In my Skoda Superb I recently had the warning light come on on the dash to warn me that I had some non-functioning light bulbs. All of the faulty bulbs have been replaced including both headlight bulbs. The warning light is still illuminated telling me that my left hand main beam is still faulty. Both headlights function as normal in both low and high beam. How can I get the warning light to extinguish? (all bulbs seem to be functioning correctly)

Hey everyone. My car is developing what I'm 99% sure is topmount bearing noise when slow manoeuvring, not so much a creaking but more of a bearing moving kind of noise (people who have had it I'm sure will know what I mean). . I've has it on other cars too. . My car only has 27k on and is a 68 plate facelift vrs. What are my chances of getting it sorted under warranty? . . I've only owned the car just over 4 months and it's already had the water pump replaced
