Hi guys

I've got the same, my uncle's Octavia in Holland got the same, when I test drove it was the same so I just assume its normal

I've noticed that when I have the air on pointing to feet only, air will come out of the outer top vents.
I reckon its brilliant, because I have the drivers one pointing up to cool my tablet.

I'd say its a Skoda thing.
Sorry I can't say any more - I always have the air on!!

Do you mean if the fan is off and the climate control has the air directed to feet or screen only?

Most cars will allow fresh air through the face vents even if the fan and climate control are off. That's why each vent has the ability to be shut off individually.

Most euro cars I have had will allow a trickle of air to the face vents even if you have it set to feet.

Cars are too air tight these days and most people drive most of the time with the windows shut. If you don't get any air coming in you will become drowsy, fall asleep and die hopefully without killing anybody else.

Most of the cars I've driven lately (subaru, corolla, skoda, hilux), you have to physically close each individual vent to stop the air.

I just point them all away from me so that the cabin air remains fresh but my eye's don't dry out.
