Timeless design The designers working on the ŠKODA OCTAVIA were given the task of making a car that would look relevant even after many years. Designers draw their inspiration from the shapes of the famous Czech crystal whose beauty is timeless.

Balanced Proportions, the play of light and shadow on the sharply defined edges of the body, and at the same time the general plasticity of the forms create a memorable image of the new ŠKODA Octavia

The recognizable radiator grille indicates that you have a ŠKODA car in front of you, and twin headlights- about the constant development of the brand's design language.

In the new ŠKODA Octavia, everything is geared towards making you feel comfortable from the moment you step into the car. For example, in winter, this will contribute to the heating of the steering wheel.

Comfort inside and out What comfort systems do you need in your car? It looks like we've covered almost everything. Dual zone climate control. Power seats with memory. Personalization function: each of the three keys for the car is "attached" to the settings of a particular driver, from the position of the seat to the radio stations stored in the memory. In addition, we offer full set comfortable winter options: heated seats in both rows, heated rear and windshields and, finally, heated steering wheel. The same multifunctional one that allows you to answer calls and control the infotainment system without being distracted from driving.

A trunk to be proud of We bet: few people expect to find such a large and comfortable trunk in a car of the compact class, to which the ŠKODA Octavia belongs. Minimum - 568 liters, and this despite the fact that under the floor is spare wheel on a full disk. If you fold the backs rear seats, the volume of the compartment increases up to 1558 liters. More than one and a half cubic meters of free space! Given that the door luggage compartment opens with glass, it becomes possible to transport really bulky items that will not fit in every station wagon. All of the above are the basic advantages of any ŠKODA Octavia. Additionally, you can order folding backrest of the front passenger seat, and then you can transport things up to 2.9 meters long inside the car. Cornice for curtains. Carpet in a roll. Or a Christmas tree. In the package, of course.

Distance control system with function automatic braking, blind spot monitoring and other solutions to ensure your safety.

Latest systems driver assistance The ŠKODA Octavia offers several modern systems driver assistance to avoid various unpleasant situations. distance assistant will attract the attention of the driver, and if necessary - and will involve brake system in automatic mode, if the distance to the car in front drops critically. Blind Spot Monitor will warn you that it is not safe to move to the next row. Parking exit assistant in reverse “look” if your maneuver interferes vehicles who are moving along the road.

production. It was thanks to Octavia that Skoda gained its share in the European market. This model is a bestseller not only in Europe, but also in the CIS. The machine primarily gained popularity due to its reliability and efficiency. But, like any other car, the Octavia has its drawbacks. Is this car really that good? Is it worth buying a Skoda Octavia car? Reviews of the owners, shortcomings and photos, see our today's article.

Appearance

This model is produced in several bodies:

• Liftback.
• Scout (off-road modification with increased ground clearance).

The car has been produced for a very long time. And for all this time, the manufacturer did not change the body, but only did restyling. Yes, you can not call the car old. But she does not catch any zest. This is a simple everyday car (the European analogue of the Toyota Corolla). Making the appearance bright is quite difficult. This is the main drawback of the Skoda Octavia. Owner reviews say that the design of the car does not catch the eye even in a bright color. Therefore, it is unlikely to stand out from the stream.

Corrosion

Around the Octavia there is a lot of controversy about its corrosion resistance. Some say that the body is almost eternal, others complain about through holes in the thresholds. In fact, the metal in the Octavia is quite high quality. If the car did not cling to the ground with thresholds and the layer of the factory paintwork was not damaged, it will not rot (at least not stronger than the Volkswagen).

What are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia? Owner reviews note the poor tightness of the fog lights. Over time, they begin to sweat (especially after rain). Also, the running lights lamp often fails (this applies to already updated versions). The reason for this is the poor-quality coating of the base and the burnout of the contact group. The lights change along with the base. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the body.

Salon

The interior in "Skoda" is pleasantly decorated, but without frills. Everything you need is here. The ergonomics are well thought out. But there are not enough bright inserts and any new lines. With each restyling, the interior practically does not change. What are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia 1.4? Owner feedback includes complaints about problems with power windows. Over the years, the motor begins to raise the glass, and then it spontaneously falls down. The reason for this is the contamination of the guides. To prevent the motor from burning out, the system automatically lowers the glass down (thermal protection is activated). You can fix this problem by disassembling the door trim and cleaning the rails. In order for the windows to go further without problems, they should be treated with silicone grease.

What other disadvantages does the Skoda Octavia have? Owner reviews criticize the climate control system and air conditioning. Over the years, the compressor fails, even with regular refilling of freon. Also wears out contact Group central lock And the doors don't open remotely. The owners try to press the button harder, because of which it sinks and stops working altogether.

Another drawback concerns the side mirrors. On almost all Skodas they are small. And the Octavia was no exception. It is impossible to fix this ailment - you have to put up with it. But these are not all the shortcomings of the Skoda Octavia. Owner reviews say that the liftback has a very unreliable trunk lock. Often the limit switch fails. Because of this, the lighting inside the trunk does not work. By the way, the trunk volume itself is very solid, which is good news.

Power part

Among the features of the power part of the "Octavia" it is worth noting the presence TSI engines and FSI. These units were developed by the VAG concern specifically for Skoda and Volkswagen. The line contains diesel engines volume of 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 liters. They are equipped with a turbine and a direct fuel injection system. Also, Octavia is equipped with gasoline engine 1.6. But these motors were not officially delivered to Russia. What are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia 1.6 on the mechanics? Among the minuses, it is worth noting the small resource of the pump. It changes along with the timing belt. The ignition coil also fails. And she changes from high voltage wires. With a run of 200 thousand or more, they lose elasticity valve stem seals. As a result, the car starts to let out a characteristic gray smoke.

The most problematic car is the Skoda Octavia 1.8 turbo. Its disadvantages are the following:

• Increased consumption engine oil. A thousand kilometers can take from 0.5 to 0.8 liters of lubricant. And this despite the fact that piston group in order and whole rings. This is the natural care of the oil, which is considered the norm for this internal combustion engine.
• Small resource of the chain tensioner. Often the cause of its malfunction is driving with a low oil level (which needs to be controlled almost every thousand kilometers).
• Water pump. She starts to make noise and leak.
• injection pump. It also breaks down and requires expensive repairs.

Due to a malfunction, the camshaft gears may be displaced. Because of this, the design of the 1.8 turbo engine may not be the most successful - reviews say. Therefore, it is worth refusing to purchase such a version. The exception is versions released after 2010. The manufacturer claims that since this period he has refined internal combustion engine design, and now he is devoid of all the above disadvantages.

Gearbox "Skoda Octavia"

The range of transmissions is very diverse for the Octavia. The range includes five and six-speed manual transmissions, an automatic transmission, as well as robotic transmission DSG. What are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia 2 A5 mechanic? 1.6-liter versions with manual transmission serve without any complaints. Among the problems, damage to the anther of the axle shaft can be noted, due to which the hinge will certainly fail. Therefore, the condition of the rubber boot must be monitored regularly.

DSG

Most of all complaints are caused about What are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia 1.8 with this transmission? As operating experience shows, over time, the machine is difficult to shift gears between first and second. Also, the box freezes when you try to turn on the reverse. Experts say that the problem is in the firmware of the control unit. But not always the ECU can be reflashed. Sometimes the mechatronics unit has to be changed entirely. The clutch package also fails.

A lot of criticism is caused by a dual-mass flywheel. The idea to use such an element is very good. This flywheel reduces vibration loads and provides a smoother transmission of torque. But due to its complex design, the part is very expensive to repair. And its resource is no more than 150 thousand kilometers. The cost of repairing such a box can be about 120 thousand rubles. If this is not done in time, the transmission will begin to shift gears with a characteristic crunch and knock. Some owners, after this period, change the flywheel to a single-mass one. This is the most budgetary way to solve the problem today.

Chassis

The suspension is arranged as follows. There are MacPherson struts in the front, a multi-link in the back. In motion, this car is quite stable and easy to control. Also, the suspension pleases with its energy intensity. The machine swallows holes perfectly. The only exception is sports version RS, equipped with rigid shock absorbers front and rear. As for maintenance, on a run of 80 thousand, the silent blocks of the front levers fail. The racks themselves serve 90-120 thousand kilometers. The same resource and thrust bearings. In case of wear, they begin to crunch when turning the wheels.

ball joints reliable enough. Their resource is more than 150 thousand. Long service life and multi-link rear suspension. The first repair may be needed only by 120-150 thousand. This is a replacement for silent blocks of levers.

Suspension cons

But what are the disadvantages of the Skoda Octavia? Owner reviews say that the suspension, despite its durability, is very expensive to maintain. In order for the car to be in service again on a run of 150-200 thousand, you need to spend at least 80 thousand rubles. By the way, the bearings are changed along with the hub, which is also not very cheap.

Summing up

So, we found out what is Czech car Skoda Octavia. As you can see, the car is clearly not without flaws. But for the most part they are DSG boxes and turbocharged engine 1.8. If you do not buy a version with such an engine and gearbox, the Skoda Octavia will delight you with its reliability. But after a run of 150-200 thousand, a significant investment in the suspension may be required. Well, then the car will last the same amount of time.

The Octavia name first appeared in model range Skoda brand in 1959. Under this name, the plant in Mladá Boleslav began to produce a rear-wheel drive two-door sedan, which had a "semi-frame" design (the pipe acting as the frame was integrated into the body) and independent suspension all wheels.

Under the hood was a 1.1-liter (40 hp) or 1.2-liter (45 hp) gasoline engine. In 1961, a station wagon was also offered to customers Skoda Octavia Combi, which was equipped with only a 45-horsepower engine, and a roadster was created on the basis of this model.
