    Skoda Octavia 2010

    Skoda Octavia 2010

    FROM
    $4,840

    The 2010 Skoda Octavia range of configurations is currently priced from $4,990.

    Our most recent review of the 2010 Skoda Octavia resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Graham Smith had this to say at the time: Auto gearbox problems make the Octavia a risky choice, better to buy a manual.Boyd Droscher: The 2.0 TDI I bought in 2009 has 220,000km on the dial and is now a spare car due to its low resale value. I can't fault it except for the poor seat comfort and the DSG lag. It has been very reliable, and economical to run. We have had it loaded to the hilt and it has not missed a beat.

    This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Skoda Octavia: Affordable European motoring., Engine performs well with thrifty fuel consumption.

    The 2010 Skoda Octavia carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Skoda Octavia 2010 FAQs

    Skoda Octavia 2016: Error message "reverse gear not available"

    The DSG gearbox in your car has given Skoda and other members of the Volkswagen family all sorts of grief over the years. The problem you’ve described suggests a build-up of metallic particles (from wear and tear inside the transmission) which are being attracted to the magnetic sensors inside the gearbox and leading to bogus commends being sent to the car’s on-board computer. I’ve also heard of these symptoms being the result of faulty mechatronics and even a software glitch. The mechatronic unit, by the way, is the module that acts as middle-man between the computer and the gear selectors and clutch packs contained within the gearbox itself.

    So there are three (among many) possibilities. And the VW (and Skoda) DSG transmission is no stranger to any of them. Either way, a loss of drive at any stage – whether it’s Drive or Reverse – is a potentially dangerous situation and needs to be fixed. Unfortunately, Skoda Australia only extended its factory warranty to five years on vehicles sold after January 1, 2017; after your car was sold. That said, I’d certainly be talking to the brand’s customer relations department with a view to at least finding out what’s wrong and then negotiating on whatever repairs are required.
