Boot liner/tray - which one...??
hatchy replied to slicendice's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I bought this one when I got my mk3. Items tended to slide around on it where it's hard plastic so I bought a roll of grip tape and stuck that all over it. https://www.oemvwshop.com/5e5061162-plastic-tray-p1255162 -
Cheers guys didn't think of just doing that. Will save me taking the whole unit out. If the beading was inside it would be simpler too but on this property every window has the beading outside and the failed windows are bedroom ones so it's up the ladder.

Going to look in to doing this fairly soon. Just changed jobs and the 'tied' house that came with it there are 3 failed glass units. I'm just going to buy new units to go in but the biggest PITA with that is that I'm obviously going to have to take out the old units just to measure them and then refit them until the new units turn up.

Thanks for that. It is a pretty early mk3 (2013).

I've got led lights on it and I assume brake lights too and then bulb section in the centre which I take are indicator, reverse and fog light. It's for a hatchback.

Managed to smash the rear cluster driver side. Looking for a replacement but I cant find a skoda pt number on it. Just seems to be the Hella number. 185.311-02 on the cluster or 185.360-02 on the black bulb holder bit. Looking about on the net I found plenty for sale but am I right in thinking depending on model the cluster is different as far as normal bulbs or part led. Can anyone confirm that the cluster with number is 5E5945112 is the one I need. Thanks.

They do lift the car. How else are they expected to check the underneath of the car?

Expansion bottle replacement
hatchy replied to Scout151's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
May have been sold ready mixed g13 coolant. Found this site talking about g13 coolant. Strange that it says it's glycerine based and yet on genuine VW bottle it states ethylene glycol https://www.wolflubes.com/EN_EU/Blog/2016/What-you-need-to-know-about-G13-antifreeze-and-coolant.aspx -
2020 vRS 245 - Oil?
hatchy replied to yashicamat_returns's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
What's your point when it's already been stated and officially shown on this thread that you can optionally use 504 spec oil instead. Only difference it will make according to VW is higher emissions. -
Recently bought some of these. Reading threads on the subject H11's were said to be a direct fit and they were when I fitted mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H11-Led-White-Xenon-711-Super-Headlight-Headlamp-Main-Dipped-Beam-Fog-Bulbs-12v/372853286853?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=641664954076&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Failed 4 wheel alignment query
hatchy replied to Octaviarse's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I thought the only thing that couldn't adjusted on the mk3 was the front camber. -
Nearest dealer to me say they will price match. Don't know how many others nation wide do the same. https://www.heritageskoda.co.uk/offers/servicing/

Both should come on and all 4 need coding. Does with my 2014 anyway.

They've measured all 4 tyres as 6mm across the entire tread so at least the wheel alignment I had done when tyres were fitted is working Let's say the Michelins were only at 7mm when new,using the guideline to changing tyres at 3mm (law is 1.6mm),if I'm really down to 6mm all round already (hard to believe when as said a 2wd will wear the fronts quicker and no I haven't rotated them yet and who the hell would after just 2k) my maths suggests I'm going to be looking at the tyres being down to 3mm in another 6k. A set of Michelins every 8k miles then. It's typical dealer trying it on. Christ they'd even priced up a replacement 'budget' tyre for the spare-£86. How many poor sods have been suckered in with this crap as I expect it's fairly routine.
