I have always known that if you use your air con regularly then it will affect fuel economy.
Now someone told me recently that it does not affect the fuel economy-if it does it could mean losing a one or two miles per tankfull.
What is the truth about this?
Any answers appreciated|||Will not affect it a signigficant amount|||Two schools of thought on that one.
First is that windows open, AC off will disrupt airflow of car creating drag thus lowering mileage.
Second is that will not affect mileage, rather the extra strain fro AC will decrease engine performance.
You can settle the arguement for yourself. Drive two tanks of fuel out without using AC and then two with using AC, and compare the difference in mileage.
To me it really wouldn't matter. If I'm hot, I'm gonna run the AC.|||if you drive with windows open the buffeting lowers the mileage the same as using AC..YOou paid 1200 dollars for AC ,, Are you going to suffer in the hear for 1 mpg? not me

The front anti roll bars on my Skoda Fabia need replacing, what are they and how much should it cost?
Dealer has quoted just short of 拢200 (UK).|||that sound a bit extreme. can't think it'll be the actual bars that need replacing. Maybe the anti roll bar bushes will need replacing as they do wear with age, not familiar with your model so can't be certain.
It 's a part of the car that helps keep the alignment of your car true and ensures minimal roll when cornering etc.
get another quote elsewhere it costs nothing for a second oppinion. main dealers are always more expensive, maybe try a local garage thats not a main dealer, their labours cheaper. if your a bit of a diy man, buy a haynes manual 拢15 and do it yourself. they're not to difficult if you have a socket set, you,ll need to put your car on blocks and let the front suspension hang free. good luck|||look on the net thats your best bet you will find a big drop in what you are being charged|||The anti roll bars will not need replacing unless the car has been involved in an accident.They are their to steady the roll of the car when cornering.They are attached to the car by rubber bushes and it is these that need replacing.A good DIY man can do this quiteeasily for around say 25pounds.I have encountered the same problem with this model before and on investigation the dealer was simply trying it on.|||never heard of a Skoda are they any good?|||in gotta admire yr bravery admiting u got a skoda fabia, if i had one of those id leave it down aldis car park wheres it more at home|||I would just get another car!!!! :o)|||take it you mean the roll bar drop links, then about 1 hour labour for the pair plus parts, but certainly less than your quote

How does Honda Accord compare to Skoda Superb for (a) comfort (b) solidness of build (c) engine performance?

Solidness of Build::: Accord %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Skoda Superb
Maintenance Cost::: Accord %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; Skoda Superb
Very close call... But, I would still say if you are in India, then opt for Honda Accord, since it has a better service network and cost of maintenance is little lower than Skoda Superb... Further, it is better built than Skoda Superb in many ways...|||hey!
both cars are almost at par
but i will give edge to superb|||Both the cars you have picked are great and are quite similar in terms of performance and features. The mileage and engine performance of both Accord and Superb are great and very comparable. There is only a minor difference that Superb gives the option of leather seats, while Accord does not. Apart from that, you can compare the cars on the following features:
http://www.cardekho.com/compare-2car/Hon鈥?/a>|||well,the superb has more features and is more comfy(in fact,the goodies are of the kind you'd expect in a 40 lakh car!).secondly,the build quality of Japanese automakers(like honda) is unrivaled,even among their german counterparts(read=skoda).for engine performance,the accord wins any day.however,i wud suggest having a look at the nissan teana as well(even if they have only 5 showrooms in India)|||both the cars are
good
but for all the points you have mentioned above according to me Skoda superb scores more than Honda Accord
but Where Honda Accord Scores more ON Superb
1 st of all Honda Accord looks more stylish than that of superb
then Accord have a nice aftr sales service n/w than Skoda
so overalll if you want a car for all points mentioned ab0ve then only go in for Skoda Superb
otherwise overall i guess you must Go for Honda Accord..

Can anyone tell me the position of a couple of fuses on a P reg Skoda Felicia ?
Didn't get a handbook when I bought the car, and over the last 2 days both the horn and the heater have stopped working. Am assuming its either fuses or a wiring problem. Will be buying a haynes manual at the weekend, but any help in the meantime would be greatly appreciated ! :-)|||Hello,
assume you have twin fast-on connector fuses in your Felicia.
You don't have to know which fuse protects which component.
When a fuse is blown, you should replace it with a new of the same current rating. Fuses are color-coded and there's a piece of wire in them. This wire burns due to a current above the rating, which could happen eg. during a schort-circuit. Some frequent codes:
BROWN-7 A (Amper) , RED-10 A, BLUE-15A, YELLOW-20A, GREEN-30A.
All you have to do is to check all your fuses. With the car powered off, pull each of your fuses out one-by-one and see if the wire inside is burnt (you can't miss it, in this case the whole plastic casing is burnt :D) replace it with the same rating (-%26gt; color). I suggest you to check all fuses, it's not an unknown phenomenon to buy a used car, replace some fuses and long-meant-to-be-dead subsystems come back to life :D and older fuses are more prone to blow below the nominal rating due to ageing.
And by the way, I have a Skoda too :D, a '89 Skoda 120 (former east-Europian rear-engined car, model was known as "Estelle" in west-Europe) and she newer let me down. No one can show me a better car for 200 USD :D !!!
It DOES worth :D !!!|||Man, I gotta know -- did you actually PAY for a Skoda?|||There under the Passengers side|||what the hell ive never hard of that kind of car|||Just look 4 the fuse panel, located somewhere under the steering rack probably, and pull your fuses out 1 at a time to see iff they've gone!!!|||dont waste money putting new fuses in, be worth more than the car!

Who remembers the Skoda Estelle, and recalls its faults & foible's?
I loved mine, despite things dropping off, window mechanism collapsing, the dreaded starter motor/alternator, the galloping rust... I just loved it!|||I certainly remember the car. It seemed quite stylish for a Skoda at that time. The name was its best asset. It was a star!|||i remember those and the fun i had taking the p*ss out of one of my neighbours for owning one, oh how i miss those days.|||My BIL bought one brand new but he had to trade it in because none of his family (especially his teenage kids)would go out in it in case the neighbours saw them.|||I remember my son having one. I think it did as many miles on a tow rope at the back of my car.

Skoda Brakes don't work at stop and go traffic?
My Skoda Octavia Petrol RS model sometimes does not stop with brake pedal not pushing down when pressed during heavy stop and go traffic situations. I have taken this to garage several times during last 1.5 years since I bought the car. Any advice on diagnosis/solution?|||your question is sort of vague, but ill try my best. if the pedal feels spongy then there is water in your hydrolic system, drain it and refill. if the brakes just completely go out sometimes, then it is definatley the booster or master cylinder (or a vacuum line connecting to the booster) have the parts tested and/or flushed. good luck

What is the difference between skoda ambience and octavia rider?
In the first name there's the brand and the trim (basic, there are Elegance and L%26amp;K above it), but not the model; in the second, it's the Octavia Mk I (based on VW Golf Mk IV), now out of production except for certain markets. As far as I know, the new Octavia Mk II (based on VW Golf Mk V) is called Laura in India.
Also the specs and trims vary according to markets.
All versions have a choice of gas and diesel engines ranging from 1.4L to 2.0L displacement.

Sadly they aren't what they used to be.|||must be due to sales|||It was voted the "best" from a certain point of view, in that it is the safest (5 stars in crash-impact testing) and with an incredible amount of miles to the gallon, is one of the most efficient.
But we all know that those qualities don't make it a "good" car ;)|||These cars are built under strict build quality as set by Volkswagon. On occasions it has been reported that Skoda's build quality is better than its owners.
The cars are reasonably priced as they are built in a country with lower wage outlay, and the Fabia is a very reasonable all rounder with good reliability and the diesel engine fron VW.
The Scoda crash testing has been succesful too, and Euro ncap report good results.
It is important to note that the Octavia and the Superb are very similar mechanicaly to the Passat, which is more expensive.

what size alloy will fit my skoda fabia at the moment i have a 14 inch i want to fit a 15 to 17 inch alloy wheel will it be suitable for my car|||The rule of thumb is: for each extra inch of rim diameter (15, 16, 17), add 20 mm to the original tire section width and subtract 10 from the original aspect ratio.
E.g., if your size is 185/60 R 14 (assumption), you might try:
205/50 R 15 or 225/40 R 16.
The speed and load indexes must be at least equal to the original tires.
Use the same (size, make/type, age) tires on each axle, respect the sense of rotation, if applicable, and keep the pressure to the vehicle specs (NOT sidewall pressure!) in all conditions.
Consider also your local laws, need to fit snow chains (bigger sizes usually can't fit chains) and clearance (wheel well, suspension, max. steering angle).

Is there an easy, straightforward way to reset my central locking on my 11 yr old skoda octavia?

Its the MIL.
Needs to got to skoda for diagnostics. (Urgently)
The garage will connect a computer to the diagnostics port of the car to read the MIL (Engine Management) codes which will lead to the fault.|||The fan can indeed kick in and run for about 10 minutes after switching off, that's supposed to deal with the rise in under-bonnet temperatures once the airflow has ceased.

Hope that helps.

Difference between Trip Computer and Maxidot Trip Computer on Skoda Octavia vRS?

I believe there is a little more functionality on the Maxidot, The easiest way to find out for sure is to look at the Owners manual - you can download this (In English) from the main Skoda site (skoda.com - also in English).
Good luck.|||Information on the vRS is not obvious - it can be found on:
http://new.skoda-auto.com/com/model/newoctavia/individualities/Pages/rs.aspx

How good/bad was the Skoda Estelle? Was it good value for money?
Like most makes the rally car is nothing like the road version.
Different engine/gearbox/suspension/brakes/steerin鈥?etc.
The Estelle wasn't a good car, cheap to buy maybe but that's all.
I remember when they were new the steering was not up to standard.
The pre VW cars were a joke.
Modern Skoda's are class leaders.|||'Good' does not come in to it. This was made when people made jokes about doubling a Skoda's value when you filled the tank.

What is the current drain on the battery when the vehicle (Skoda GLID 1.9) is not running.?
I measure it as 0.33amps with everything switched off and doors closed|||I'm not familiar with your particular vehicle but as a general statement I would expect it to be lower than that.|||it depends on what the radio and alarm system needs.|||the old industry standard [still true] is no more than 31/2 volts draw. the new industry standard is 400 milleamps max.regaurdless of voltage read [this allows digital multi-meters to be used, as they will show a draw of 12 volts even at 0.005 amp draw] [move the decimal over on your reading. you have 330 milleamps this is allowable] if battery keeps going dead and charging system is ok .. i would suspect a bad battery, [did it pass load test [1/2 of cold cranking amps for 15 seconds ?]. [a good battery will not drop below 10-1/2 volts during this test. cheap parts store batteries may have trouble maintaining 9-1/2 volts during test, but anything below 9-1/4 volts should be re-charged,allowed to cool down and be re-tested if it fails again replace it.

How much diesel would a Skoda Octavia 2 litre TDI use when idling for 5 mins?
How much diesel would a Skoda Octavia 2 litre TDI use when idling for 5 mins
TIA
Chris|||Not a lot. Certainly not enough to bother measuring.|||If I was to make an educated guess:
It will do around 60MPG at a constant speed of around 60MPH. There are roughly 4.5 litres in a gallon. 60MPH is 1 mile per minute. The car will use around 75ml of fuel in a minute.
Now idling will use a lot less fuel than doing 60MPH. I would guess it would be 10% of the above figure per minute or 7.5ml. So I would guess the car would use under 40ml of fuel. The rate of fuel use during idling will be higher if the air conditioner is in use while idling or if there is a large electrical drain on the battery (eg headlights and stereo on).

The abs light on my skoda ocatavia is on constantly and is beginning to annoy me has anyone got any ideas?
this could mean various things are wrong with the abs system if the light is on all the time your abs will not be operative.the only way to find out is take it to a garage who will plug it into a diagnostic handheld device,which will read the fault code and tell you what is causing the light to be on.this is normally about 40 pounds.It may just be a sensor that is causing the problem which i have heard is not uncommon with that model.|||You MUST get this looked at by a main dealer (Skoda or Volkswagen).
This light indicates a problem with your braking system. It may be one of several conditions causing it, and if you don't get it sorted very soon you may find that you suffer sudden brake failure.
Pay for the proper service (about 拢40 + parts). The potential consequences of brake failure are too great to take any chances. (Don't be a tight-wad who's prepared to risk a crash to save a few quid).|||It means the abs needs looking at.Thick or what?|||normally means brake pads are low|||Put a piece of tape over the light and ignore it.|||It means your brakes need attention. Get them fixed or make a will.|||If the brake pads were low then the brake pad light would come on,
The anti-lock brake controller is also known as the CAB (Controller Anti-lock Brake).
A typical ABS is composed of a central electronic unit, four speed sensors (one for each wheel), and two or more hydraulic valves on the brake circuit. The electronic unit constantly monitors the rotation speed of each wheel. When it senses that any number of wheels are rotating considerably slower than the others (a condition that will bring it to lock) it moves the valves to decrease the pressure on the braking circuit, effectively reducing the braking force on that wheel. The wheel(s) then turn faster and when they turn too fast, the force is reapplied. This process is repeated continuously, and this causes the characteristic pulsing feel through the brake pedal. A typical anti-lock system can apply and release braking pressure up to 20 times a second|||What do you expect from a skip?|||Get it fixed by a competent mechanic. Its telling you you have a brake problem. Car will fail next MOT if not fixed! Also you insurers may give you grief if you need to claim.|||Sounds like one of the ABS sensors on one of your wheels is faulty or got a loose connection. Get it looked at by a mechanic, does not need to be a skoda garage as any decent mechanic can look at this for you.|||You should get it checked by a Skoda dealer - could be a genuine problem.

How can i augment ground clearance to a skoda octavia?
Most cars sold in countries with bad roads needing extra ground clearance come with Bad Road Packages. What you need to do is simply increase the ground clearance by installing bushes or using a new set of struts with longer travel. Also you need to stiffen the damper settings to stop it from bottoming out and the coil springs need to be of a more resilient composition like the ones used in High performance springs. Get rid of side skirts and bumper add-ons as they also reduce clearance drastically.|||going down cut the spring coil smaller.
rise it up heat the coil to longer or replace,
look for adjustable raise suspension,
change shock absorbers eater case|||what the hell? heat coil up to longer? you are not gonna be able to stretch a spring steel coil so easy. use coil spring spacers and then you must re align the car. the car was designed to ride at the stock height. by changing ride height you must take into account everything else, shock travel, alignment and caster and camber of front wheels. not as easy as it sounds.

(or close to it)|||You hav e to look for a small plastic box, usually 4 inches by 4 inches (approximately). Sometimes installed under the dashboard, but accessible. Sometimes in the glove compartment. And sometimes under the hood. If under the hood, usually screwed to a solid location above the wheel well. Also accessible. Open the box (usually a snap open/snap closed). On inside cover of box is diagram of the fuses and they are for and the amp size.

Hi ive got a skoda fabia elegance 2007 new model 1400lt diesel my electric windows not working?
Took it to my local garage he told me the window control unit had gone so looking for a new one at a good price or good second hand one.|||This Happened to my 2003 fabia 1.2 htp at 3yrs old. The dealer fitted me a new one %26amp; advised me to change the other control unit as well. I did not do that and 6 months later it too failed. so instead of one bill to pay i ended up paying twice. also any repair done by the dealer is guaranteed for twelve months and if it fails should be repaired free. I had it done and it never gave me any further problems. I now have a new fabia and the car is wonderful.
I have a skoda octavia and the rev counter and speedo have died?
the rev counter along with speedo and dash warning lights have stopped working. I have checked all fuses they are fine. now in thinking it could be a relay but i have no idea how to test these which one to test or if these are even linked to a relay so as you can see im in a bit of a situation. any help would be great|||cannot be a relay as there are none involved with this. You clearly have limited auto electrical experience. It is something stopping all power getting to the dash instruments and if it happened suddenly it is almost certainly a fuse - check again carefully as they are not always easy to tell if they are blown.
If not the fuse it will be a fault in the wiring or on the printed circuit board that the lights and clocks are attached to.

Why is my skoda dealer a rip off?
my brakes were making a funny noise so i took it into my skoda dealer for a brake check. They told me it needed loads of new parts and would cost me 481 british pounds to fix. I nearly fell over as i have not had it long. I then took it to two independants who told me 1 part needed replacing and i had the job done for 61 pounds. Is this legal.|||The dealership obviously didn't want the business therefore gave you an outrageous quote.|||Car dealers and halfords, can't understand why people use them for parts and out of warrenty servicing.

What Does vRS Mean In The Skoda Range?
I know this question has been posted before but was talking about this recently and I heard quite a few other rumours as what has already been mentioned of what vRS means.
Any offers|||There are several definitions of what the 'v' means in the Skoda vRS range
Version and Volkswagen are the most popular guesses.
But I have a Fabia vRS and looked on the the Briskoda site.
Apparently Skoda in their early years named one of their cars RS because of its racing pedigree.
Now people think Ford first came out with this logo. When Ford got to hear that Skoda was going to badge their cars RS they took Skoda to court!
Apparently the judge (or whatever) looked into Skodas past racing pedigree and history and indeed did rule in favour in Skoda using the RS logo.
But to just rubs Fords nose in it they put a v in front of the RS.
The 'v' stands for victory. But not for their racing victories but for the victory over Ford in the court case.
If you lose a court case (I think) in the UK then you have to pay the winning parties legal and court costs. Just imagine how much this amounted to?

What is the best and cheapest car warranty to get for my 3yr skoda octavia?
You cant buy cheap %26amp;best warranty insurance cheap is a scam it might cover half of the premium price .

If you want a Skoda Superb then the best one (in my opinion) is the Edition 100. It was a limited edition to celebrate 100 years of Skoda and was brought out in late 2005.

The best bit is you don't have to put up with the horrible orange fake wood you mention! It comes in a piano black trim on the doors and dashboard. The rear windows are also blacked out, so this car looks great on the inside and outside.|||Why does a Skoda have a heated rear window. To keep your hands warm when you are pushing it.|||yes

What is the difference between Skoda Octavia & VW Passat?
The Skoda Octavia is a small family car produced by the Czech automaker Skoda Auto since 1996. The Octavia is available in hatchback and estate body styles. A Common misconception is that the Octavia is a saloon due to it's large boot.
The Volkswagen Passat is a family car built by Volkswagen AG, produced in various forms since 1973. It falls between the Volkswagen Golf/Jetta and Phaeton in the current Volkswagen lineup, and is currently produced in Volkswagen's plant in Emden, Germany, as well as Zwickau. Although normally known as the Passat in European and American markets, it has been badged as a variety of other names including Dasher, Santana, Quantum and Crossover in other markets. Its name is short for passatwind, German for "trade wind." While the first generation Passat was a compact car/small family car, the second generation grew in size, so the rest of the Passats are mid-size cars/large family cars.|||The guy above answered the most

Battery light on my skoda has llit up?
Back in january i had to have my alternater and battery changed to my little skoda felicia 1.3. This morning i noticed that the battery light has come up again, but when i'm driving it goes of. Does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks|||The battery light on the dash is there to show that there is a difference between the power output from the alternator and the power draw from the battery.
It is possible that the output of the alternator is below the required level to charge, run and maintain the cars electrics. Do you have any big current draws on the car? For example a high powered CD/radio?
The best thing to do is test the output from the alternator will a multi meter on the terminals of the battery. You should get a reading above 13 volts.

Why is it that European automakers such as Peugeot, Renault, Citroen or Skoda to name a few, can't make it to
US? They've prove to have excellent assembly mechanism and they have beautiful designs. Is there a big pushing factor from the Big Three to stop them from gettin here? Thank you.|||Peugeot, Renault and Citroen have all had US dealers but didn't make it. Their cars are a little to offbeat and European for US tastes. There were also reliability and service issues with all of them. Hard to keep up a car when there are only a few dealers in the states and parts may take weeks to months to arrive from Europe.|||Because cars in the US are cheap compared to cars in Europe... so there is not much profit to be made shipping European cars to the US... so the deealerships have to work on small or zero (or negative) margin.
Only the expensive or prestige marques make it to the US... BMW, Mercedes, Volvo... as they work on higher prices they work on bigger margins. Oh and the VW beetle and the Mini 'cos they are so cute.
Plus US markets have very different expectations (eg power steering and aircon and auto boxes) and legal requirements (eg big fenders, red indicators) so the models made for the US have to be custom compared to the European market... it's hard to break into that market as you have to justify making the special features for very small sales to start with. So any company that is there selling well can stay in the market but any company breaking into the market finds it really expensive.
Plus of course the US market really likes big cars and the ones you list are all best known as small car makers!

Hi, when i lock my skoda octavia some time later the hazard lights start to flash and wont go off until i open?
Agree with the predecessor. In the meantime, you can press the fob LOCK button twice to deactivate the alarm. The car will stay locked and the alarm won't flash.
It implies, of course, that during that period the car has no alarm protection, so evaluate the risk before doing this.|||it could be that the doors, boot or bonnet is not closed properly open the bonnet ans close it see if that helps. Also make sure that all the windows are closed and that there is no flies in there!

Why have Renault, Peugot, Fiat, Skoda, and a few other foreign cars completely disappeared from the US market?
It seems to be that by around the end of the 1990's all these models became absent even as Renault was innovating massively, and Skoda was getting a top rating in Europe for being an affordable everyman's Passat. What happened?|||speedy said that euro cars aren't sold in the US because they don't comply with the higher standards in the US.

What is the linkage between the Clutch pedal and Slave on a skoda fabia?
the other day my clutch pedal became detatched from the slave operating rod, The AA man didn't know how to fix it, so towed me home.
I have two plastic bits that had dropped off, a white nylon type fitting which obviously goes on the end ot the rod, somehow, and a black plastic bit that has a glue blob on it but no sign of where it goes. Can someone help please with a diagram if poss
Thanks in advance|||The rod from the pedal goes to the clutch Master Cylinder, not the slave cylinder which will be mounted on the transmission. I'd go to a parts store or the dealer and check out a new master cylinder to see how its put together. When putting it back together keep in mind that you need about 4mm of free play or your clutch will not release all the way if there is no free play.

My 98 Skoda Felicia startd making a LOUD rumbling noise whenever it's rolling,louder if faster.What is it?
Took it to a garage, they said it's not wheel bearings/brake pads. Said it could be the transmission. They're not sure (sigh... )
There's also a faint smell of burnt rubber after it's been rolling for a little while. I'm too scared to drive it.
Appreciate your thoughts!|||breaks could be locked up,,,could be time to have the differential re-lubed,,ujoints,,axles or wheel barings|||what do u mean? tell me more!|||what exact is a sodka fellici? maybe you should try removing the break pads then driving it|||I think it is about to "Give up the Ghost"|||EXHAUST LEAK?

How can i change the rev limiter on a skoda octavia?
I have a skoda octavia 1.9 tdi 1999(v reg),
when the revs reach about 3500rpm(which is about 1000rpm below the red line) the limiter starts to cut in,
all i want to do is adjust the limiter so it cuts in closer to the red line, is there anyone out there who can help
MANY THANKS|||No its controlled by your eng management ECU any way at 3500 you are over the speed limit in 5th gear.|||I'm not talking about when I'm in 5th gear, I'm talking about when I'm in the lower gers
|||Are you saying it's automatic and it is shifting at that point, or the engine is actually cutting power at 3500?
A rev limiter doesn't "start to cut in". A rev limiter simply cuts fuel if you redline a car with a manual transmission. There's no starting to cut in. It's either killing fuel and making you stall out or it's not.
More likely what you are experiencing is the natural limitations of the diesel engine. Diesels don't like to rev high. If you seem to be losing power around 3500 that is about right. Your peak horsepower is right around 3750 RPM on that engine, after that you are just wasting fuel.
If you want more power/acceleration the cheapest and most effective way to do that with a TDI or any turbocharged car is to chip-tune it and get a cold air intake.
I suggest you get an UPsolute chip and a name brand quality cold air intake. You'll be amazed with the results.

Should I buy the new Skoda Fabia or some other car?

Also I saw the advertisment in car magasine that the new Fabia gives 'love on first driving'. I went there and I sit in a car. I was delighted! I have never seen such beautifull car! I was ready to spend all my hard-earnt money and to pay it in cash! However, when I asked the seller to give me prospect for the car, he began to doubt whether I am serious buyer and he told me that. I was insulted. I spent time to go to the other part of the city specially for her and the seller was doubtfull! Of course that I need prospect! I have to be sure that I will be given what I am searching for.

Where can i get a sport steering wheel for my skoda?
i have a skoda felicia (p plate) and i am looking for a cheap sport steering wheel but i am not too sure what i am looking for . can you help|||I think Halfords would do one.
As long as there is no airbag, it's not too tricky.
You will need a specific wheel for your car or buy the wheel you want and then buy the boss (middle bit that attaches to the steering column) to suit your car.|||On 'Pimp my Ride'!
Really, putting a sports steering on a Skoda is a very naff idea - ridiculous even. Sell the skoda, buy a remote controlled toy sports car to play with till you can afford to buy a proper car.
No apologies to other skoda users!|||They're probably completely standard across the VW chain so any VW unit will do the trick.|||Have a look at briskoda.net.
They won't have any for sale but they will advise where to get any that are available.

How do I get a stuck CD-ROM out of my 2005 Skoda Octavia's radio? I press eject and nothing!?

Very frustrating.|||There are some CD-ROM players that have a hole in the front that you poke a pin into and it makes the disc eject, but with your luck, your's isn't 1 of them. Those CD things have a little computer that decides if there is a music track that it can play, and it wont play a ROM or DVD, so this could be a software glitch, you will probably have to take the whole thing apart take + take out the disc, before you install it make sure it ejects a CD, maybe the eject motor is burned out.|||some radios has a cd reset
