Question / Help Superb Sportline PHEV
The regular Sportline is 15mm lower than all the other superbs, but the iV Sportline version isn't lowered at all. Does that mean that the iV Sportline will be just as comfy as the L&K (just different seats)? Both have the same DCC Plus dampers

Question / Help Park Assist not working on Superb Prestige - Button doesn’t respond?
Hello everyone,
I have a Skoda Superb with the Prestige package, which comes with the automatic parking feature (Park Assist). However, even though the car has this feature, nothing happens when I press the Park Assist button. It simply doesn't activate or work.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a solution for this? What should I check first?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Technical Issue Octavia 2019 dashboard fault
This started as a few horizontal lines across the dashboard but after the car has been parked for a week it got to this. Official dealer asking a ridiculous price to look into it. When the engine in on, the screen is just black. Anyone seen this before? Done some research and the cause can be some loose cables (easy cheap fix) ,LCD panel display replacement (a bit more expensive) or total replacement of the head unit (expensive). Any input would be much appreciated.
Question / Help Octavia Mk3 vs Mk3.5 - Which one to go for if you had to? Same engine, roughly same mileage.
About to buy either a Mk3 Skoda or a Mk3.5 Skoda, 2L. Mk3 has fewer miles and cheaper tax (only 8k fewer), but Mk3.5 is obviously newer.
Which one should I go for? convince me either way.

Technical Issue No mechanics knows what the problem is!
No mechanics knows what the problem is!
These parts have been changed Timings belt kit and also alternator belt aswell and heater matrix and a oil and air cooler, thermostat housing complete , wet belt and did a full service aswell and the mechanic also checked and put pressure on the Radiator and there was no leaks anywhere he couldn't see any neither could I and the oil and water weren't even mixed . The problem is that the car heats up and the temperature gage doesn't go more than 90 then the car just heats and turns the fan on and then the coolant sign keeps coming and there's no heating only a little from the left side then sometimes there's no heating at all thats abouts it I've gone to 4-5 mechanics and they can't do anything about and no guarantee at all

Hey I am looking into the Octavia from 2021 onwards as a family car with the 1.5 tsi.
Any major things I should be concerned about or that I definitely have to check on when looking at a car specifically?

Question / Help Skoda Octavia 3 figli
Ciao,
Sto cambiando lavoro e tra i benefit c'è l'auto ad uso promiscuo, tra i modelli l'unico che mi potrebbe interessare è la Skoda Octavia, ma ho il dubbio che per 5 persone non sia comoda. Ci stanno 3 seggiolini nella seconda fila, pensando di mettere il seggiolino centrale con la cintura (sempre che sia compatibile)?.
Attualmente io ho una Citroen Spacetourer con 3 agganci isofix dietro.

Question / Help Kodiaq 1.5 MHEV vs 2.0 Diesel 4x4
I am looking at buying a Skoda Kodiaq and am deciding between a second hand ~7000miles diesel and a new x-edition with the 1.5 MHEV TSI engine. Both have very similarly specs and prices so I am wondering if there is anything I have not taken into consideration that would push my decision one way or the other.
Most of our driving is family driving around town and motorway driving.

DIY & Maintenance Remove of backseats
Hi all,
I want to remove the backseats of my Kodiaq 2024.
After removing them I want to build a wood bed inside with closets inside for two people.
Attached I have added some pics with red markings. Is it enough to just remove the four screws and unplug the heater system? Is there any easier way to remove them?
Thanks in advance!

Question / Help Vibration from bass sound
Hi everyone,
I recently got a 2026 Skoda Kodiaq and I’ve noticed that when playing music with any significant bass, both front doors vibrate and rattle/buzz quite noticeably.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it a known problem with the Kodiaq? And if so, were you able to get it fixed under warranty?
Thanks!

Question / Help Extended Warranty (EW) and Service Maintenance Package (SMP)
Hello Pals! Needed your inputs on the below:-
- Does dealers offer discounts on the latest 2 years Extended Warranty (EW) and 4 years Service Maintenance Package (SMP)?
- Is it better if we purchase it from a nearby dealer where we would do the servicing rather than the dealer from where we purchased the car (in a different city)?
- Thanks for the active engagement!

Technical Issue Skoda Roomster 1.6
Hi guys
Swapped my headlights for new ones in my 2006 Roomster.
Unfortunately i now have a failure showing up on the Dashboard for my curve light.
I know some Roomster types don’t even have one, but mine has even in 2006.
it’s a movable Lightbulb in the headlights (not the fog lights turning on while indicating or turning) I‘m not sure if the mechanic bought the correct ones.
Nevertheless I need the failure light to go away for the German all year inspection otherwise I won’t pass.
Doesn’t really matter if the light works or not, was never too helpful thanks to the Foglights turning on.
Thanks in advance
Lenny
