How do you fit a passenger side wing mirror to a Skoda octavia?
On the INSIDE of the door there is a triangular panel where the wing mirror is, on my one there is a small speaker attached to the panel. Pop off the panel with a screwdriver and there is a block connector in the hole, attached to the door, you should be able to pull this up enough to disconnect the wires, if not you'll have to take off the door panel to get at the connector. There is 2 bolts where the triangular panel was and 1 bolt in near the hing of the door, open these and the wing mirror comes away form the door. There is a piece of sponge in the hole where the wires go through, push the block connector through this and the mirror is free.
Hint: If you have a magnet put it on to the spanner you're using to take off the bolts, it will stop them from falling down inside the door panel.
How do you open a skoda octavia drivers door that does not open from the inside or outside?
How to remove Octavia door card with door deadlocked.
all below is assuming cable to open door has snapped / jammed.
You will need the following
- a suitable torx bit
- 2 medium to large flat blade screwdrivers
- large phillips screwdriver
- small phillips screwdriver
- a Haynes manual is also a big help.
1. Open window all the way down
2. Remove triangular speaker from front of door at top of door card. Prise off with flathead screwdriver as it is only held on by 2 clips. Disconnect wiring.
3. Prise out small panel for electric mirrors with a flathead screwdriver. Remove phillips screw that is now visible behind the door pull handle.
4. Where you clasp your hand around the handle for, say, pulling the door shut after you get in the car, you will have to look and see that there is a small cylindrical plastic piece, about 10 cm long, that needs prising away with a flathead screwdriver. Remove this piece and then you should be able to prise out the entire panel for the electric switches for the windows and central locking. Remove this panel. Make sure to disconnect the wiring. You will notice that the base is held on by 5 phillips screws. Remove these and then the plastic base.
5. There are now 3 big phillips head screws visible. Remove these and note the order. The middle screw is longer and also has a white plastic bush.
6. Remove the 3 torx head screws from the bottom of the door card. You may have to use the torx bit and a pliers.
7. Pull away the door aperature weather seal from the bottom half of the B post.
8. Remove phillips screw from top piece of the cover that goes over the driver�s side seat belt. This is attached to the B post. Remove the bottom half of the same seat belt cover, attached by clips. From the back seat on the driver�s side you should gain access to the 2 hidden torx screws that were obstructed by the weather seal and seat belt covers.
9. From outside the car prise/lever off the top of the door card from the door frame. Be careful not to catch the window glass. The top of the card will now lift off the top of the door frame. Again, be careful not to damage it.
10. This gave me access to the door release cable which had snapped. Stuck vice grips on and pulled. Door opened.
11. You should now have access to the final set of torx screws that were hidden up against the a post.
12. Remove the red light that is visible when the door is open. Disconnect wiring. Remove tiny red light from extreme top of door panel near B post. Door card shoould now come off.
13. Bear in mind that I had a deadlocked door before I broke the door release cable. I tried thumping the door around the lock area from inside and outside. Tried every combination of pressing buttons and pulling on handles at the same time. Had also used a hair drier to heat up inside the door panel to see if this would help.
14. Note that if you are fitting a new door release cable - I got mine promptly via eBay, thanks Jo - that you don�t need to fully remove door handle and lock barrel. All you need is to remove the two large torx screws that hold the door lock in place. This gives you enough room to get the end of the new cable into its fitting in the lock. You will need help at certain times - thanks Linda - as three hands are needed on occasion.
Make sure you fit the outer cable correctly before reassembly.
15. Hope this helps as iIwas 6 weeks getting in and out of the passenger side.

How do you change a stop light on Skoda fabia?
I only have the answer for the rear lights. I hold this info from the technical workshop manual I had to buy in order to find out. Still beats being ripped off by the local garage...
Before you do anything, please ensure you wear insulated gloves as you may come in contact with live wires.
Open the boot of the car and look at the part of the boot which is directly behind the tail light. There is a fixing nut there which looks like a standard screw. Unscrew it and carefully remove tail light from the body of the car. Now disconnect the main connector that links all the bulbs to the rest of the car. You can now safely remove the bulb from the casing and replace it. When doen, reconnect the connector and run trhough these instructiosn in reverse order.
Bulb references :
Light bulb for turn signal : PY21W 12V 21W
Left side Light bulb for fog light/right side light bulb for reversing light : P21W 12V 21W
Light bulb for tail light : PY21W 12V 21W
Light bulb for brake light : PY21W 12V 21W
Good luck
Can you connect an ipod to Skoda octavia?
I have been trying to figure out a response to this query since a while. The only plausible solution i found to date is the FM transmitter. For want of knowledge, I was told that this is no compromise on quality but in my opinion it is. I am looking for a way to connect the ipod directly to the symphony stock system if possible, for that should be able to provide clarity as desired. Additionally, it might be safe to say that there might be a way to find an input via the input for the CD changer but still to come across someone who can do it in Mumbai or Pune, not that I have spoken to too many sound enthusiasts. let me know if your quest takes you somewhere.
How long will a Skoda octavia petrol engine last?
More than 300.000 km (190.000 mi) with the required maintenance and the right VW-spec engine oil quality (figures like 505.01 and similar) and oil filter replaced at regular intervals (15,000 km/10,000 mi or 1 year, whichever occurs first). The rest depends on how you use the car - city driving means more wear and shorter life.
