2000 Skoda Octavia SLX TDi from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Very good car, but the rear space lets it down"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

MAF sensor needs replacing due to flat spots.

Had to have both front springs replaced.

Rear electric window regulator needs replacing; window will not operate and keeps creeping down.

Radio reception worse I have ever known.

Without air con on, the windows mist up instantly.

General comments?

Very economical. Should improve even more when MAF sensor replaced.

Feels quicker than the Audi A4 TDi it replaced.

Huge boot.

Rear very cramped with the front seats fully back. My two year old Daughter just fits behind me in a booster sea. Cannot fit a child seat behind my seat.

Would gladly trade boot space for a few more inches of rear leg room.

If being used for a family car, would consider a 2004 on, as it has more rear space, or a Superb.

It's now December 08, front passenger window regulator failed, temp sensor has failed, climate control only blows out hot or cold air, nothing in between.

Front suspension creaks, some times glow plug light will not go out.

Idle speed sometimes raises to about 1200rpm.

Not as reliable as I first thought or expected.
