    OCTAVIA III Owners discussion thread

    ACC doesn't like very heavy rain either, in my experience.
    The automatic reverse park is the great party trick!

    Sounds like an issue afterdarker mine has never done that.

    The canton I heard in the demo car sounds better than mine. I think my sub might be faulty it has almost no kick at all, and changing sub volume doesn't appear to change it at all

    Anyone know where the coolant pump is on the 2.0TSI engine? I have a on and off leak of coolant. It's probably the pump but want to check it out for myself.

    No idea, but recently I've been getting intermittent coolant check lights, only seems to go off after traveling a particular piece of road. When I rang a dealer about it a while ago they told me to just top up with demineralised water for now, which I did, but the issue is back again. After driving, the coolant looks very low, but once I unscrew the top the pressure releases and the level goes back to within normal range again. Not sure if the sensor is also just very sensitive to elevation changes or something...

    Just below the inlet manifold

    I've had the car for less than 18 hours, and I haven't finished reading the manuals but ...

    ... how do you adjust the brightness of the dashboard lighting?? In the old RS, there was a dial on the dashboard but I can't figure out for the life of me how this new one works (and yes, I did try to quickly find it in the manual).

    I know about adjusting the brightness of the infotainment screen, but at night on the open road I like to dim the lighting for the controls all of the way down. Looks like I have some playing around to do. Oh well, weekend + new Skoda = happy camper.

    read the links. You adjust the dash lights via the infotainment menus. The brightness varies with the amount of ambient light.

    Got it! Couldn't figure it out from the manuals but I went into the menus and played around.

    As a driver, it's not very convenient. As I say, I like the brightness wound all the way down when driving at night in the country but then need it up again around street lights. Digging into menus is painful when driving, certainly not as neat as running your finger over a dial.
