Skoda Octavia 2008 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Skoda Octavia 2008 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Early Octavia belt change?
I believe VW introduced a recommendation to change the belt every four years to prevent belt failures, and I would guess that the recommendation from your mechanics is based on the fact that your car is six years old. Quiz them by all means, but I would err on the side of caution and have the belt changed.
