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. In that main disadvantage 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 poor tightness fog lights. Over time, they begin to sweat (especially after rain). The lamp also fails frequently. running lights(this applies 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. The contact group of the central lock also wears out and the doors do not 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 the piston group is 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 a DSG robotic transmission. 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 allows you to reduce vibration loads and carry out 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 the sporty version of the RS, which is 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 are quite reliable. 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 the Czech car "Skoda Octavia" is. 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.
