Hi people,

Thought we can start a thread where people can list the defects, issues and problems they had (or have) with their MK3 Octavia's and what was done to resolve the issue. Please also list whether the dealer rectified the problem or if it was anything you did. Also please list the experience with the dealership in trying to rectify the problem.

I'll start off.

Other than the dealer inflicted swirls and holograms on my vRS, there has been nothing major.

From day one, the sound generator caused the interior rear view mirror to rattle (very annoying) when accelerating up. Reported and booked a time with the dealer to get the problem resolved. But a week before the scheduled check up, the problem disappeared

The cover over the centre speaker on the dash seems to have come loose now, and every time I am listening to talk back radio it generates a high pitch squeak. Getting it sealed properly by the dealer later in the month.
