Any leads would be appreciated.

These guys are well recommended; knowledgeable and extremely professional. Do give them a try, my personal experience has been nothing short of great!

Hi All, I am super excited to share my new Octavia MK4 with you all. Possibly the last of the registrations of this model in India.

I have always wanted to own one (TeamBHP forum discussions definitely had a role to play here), and missed the opportunity while it was still selling in the Indian market. It was only recently that I firmed up my decision and started my search intently. Eventually after searching across the country and used-car markets, I miraculously ended up getting my hands on this demo vehicle in Bangalore.

After independent inspection, I went ahead with the car. Next up was a long wait of getting the car ready - one round of service, chrome delete (wherever possible - front grill, side mirror caps, Skoda & Octavia badging) and painting front callipers red (not easily visible as alloys cover most part of it). It took multiple missed deadlines and almost 2-3 weeks for the dealership to deliver the car.

We were looking for a dark colour (black mostly) and were unsure of the Brilliant Silver that we found. So I went to Esperto Koramangala (basis recommendations on the forum) to get a good opinion on the available options and also detailing both exteriors and interiors. Arjun was very helpful, and eventually we decided against colored PPF - I guess it was too experimental for us (maybe I will explore this upgrade in couple of years). We got the ceramic coating done and Arjun ensured the car was taken care of in the best manner. Thankful to the forum for the suggestion.

I have been driving the car for over a week now, and I am amazed at the power on tap in particular. Weekdays are mostly traffic struck office commute, but I have tested the car on the Mysore Highway briefly and otherwise in the wee hours - and it always brings a big smile to the face.

Still exploring the vehicle and will be relying on your expert inputs to make the ownership even more enjoyable. Sharing a few pictures here.

Hello Octavians,

Posting this on behalf my very close friend, who is not on T-BHP, who owns 2022 Octavia TSI.
He has used it for about 20K KM and started facing one strange issue. His Octavia engine gives strong jerks while driving randomly. He gave it to Skoda workshop in Kolhapur about 1.5 months back but have not received any satisfactory resolution of the issue. They have asked him to drive the car as is which is utterly unprofessional behaviour.

Now taking this ordeal to next level, they've asked him to lodge complaint against Skoda in consumer court.They are saying this is very rare issue and it needs some software to fix which is not available yet.

Has anybody faced this issue and knows any solution please advice what should he do with his Octavia? Octavia was his dream car but not anymore.

Does it misfire on sedate driving/cruising? Or only under load like going uphill or under moderate to hard acceleration?

Adding to what other BHPians had to say about this issue earlier in this thread, I am pinning down my experience with the same.

Mine was a 3 months old car pacing through the ghats of OOTY when I had faced terrible jerks while going uphill. The feeling is sudden loss of power or some sort of fuel cutoff. Although, it started after I mistakenly changed the gear to N while the car was accelerating and after putting it back to D , jerks started cropping up for almost next 15 minutes of the drive. To give a perspective, I was on Shell normal fuel till then but I really don’t think it was due to adulterated fuel.

It’s been more than an year now with no such incident and I am on XP 95 currently.

Some of our members have changed the transmission ECU under warranty(refer earlier posts on the same thread) and in my opinion that is the best thing that can be done to rectify the issue along with a cleaner fuel.

Thank you for the lead. I met Amol the other day but he clearly stated not to alter anything until the car is under warranty. Also,with whatever non-intrusive options there could be , it won’t enhance the existing audio experience at all. Looks like I will have to live with it for at-least another 3 years.

Thank you.
Will check with the SC and will update you all.

It happens always under moderate acceleration.
With light foot he doesn't experience any jerks.

There could be lot of reasons for this but I would rule out most as the car is new. To me this sounds like a fuel related issue. Is the owner always filling fuel from a particular bunk. If so he could try filling XP95 from a different bunk and check. I had the same problem on my 2022 Kodiaq. It turned out to be because of adulterated fuel from the bunk I used to frequent.

I would suspect the low pressure fuel pump in the tank if the problem persists even after filling from a different bunk. Skoda fuel pumps are quite sensitive and give up easily if poor quality petrol is used or due to dry running.

This seems similar to the experience I had faced.

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offic...ml#post5626827 (Skoda Octavia 2.0 TSI DSG Review)

I had faced this twice. On Both occasions, the car had XP95 from a different outlet (remote fuel station at the highway). It predominantly occurs above the 20k RPM mark and it goes off on its own.

I took the car to the service and they did not find anything (No error codes or anything! )

My 2 cents - Try refuelling from a reputed outlet within the city and observe if the error persists. To me, it looks more like a fuel issue.

Hi had a similar issue in which my car had jerking issues while hard acceleration . The gear changing seemed very off from usual.
Went to the service center , nothing was changed only the main software was reset according to the service executive and car was given within a couple of hours.

[vjbox]

I am wondering whether the jerking is due to the car entering limping mode on and off due to poor quality fuel. While I haven't experienced this yet on my 23 Kodiaq which is always on XP95, I have experienced this on my V40 CC due to poor quality diesel where the car shows a Reduced engine performance error on the cluster and limps with a jerk. It then goes off on its own. VOLVO ran diagnostics and told me it could be majorly due to poor fuel.

On another note I think the OBD2/ B6.2 models of Kodiaq are a lot more tolerant to normal petrol. I saw the recent Autocar episode where they take the slavia and Kodiaq to Umling la and they told they drove only on normal petrol and the vehicle did fine.

[Ambust]

Lately I have been experiencing some vibration while starting the car and squeaking noise occasionally while going through craters at normal speed. Today while parking the car a rattling noise was coming from somewhere near the gear tunnel or engine bay. Opened the hood and slammed engine cover and restarted the car and the noise was gone. Not sure if it was from the engine cover though.
I am currently in Bangalore and if anyone can suggest a good service centre to visit for this.

Hi.

I have 2021 Dec Octavia L&K. Of late it has started giving me trouble under hard acceleration, especially above 2000 rpm on kick down. The car jerks and jolts, which is scary and disappointing to say the least. Its not even 2 years old and these kind of problems have started coming up.

Have sent the car to the workshop where they cleaned the injectors (apparently), however no help. Switched to 95 Octane fuel, no help. Wondering if any fellow Octavia 2.0 L Petrol owners have experienced similar issues? What is the rectification process? Thank you so much for your help!! Cheers

I would suggest Tafe access Begur , If possible ask for Manjunath he should be able to help you out.

How many kms have you driven so far? It's too early for the gearbox to pack up. I also say this cos if the GB was an issue, you will see it (error log) in your infotainment system. Since you mention you only recently switched to 95 octane, my hunch is that fuel is the culprit here. 95 octane is the minimum rated for this engine, 91 only in dire straits. Maybe after a couple of full tanks the issue will resolve itself.
Which workshop is this? Have they asked you to being the car back in to resolve this issue?
