Sick places Skoda Octavia. Skoda Octavia A5 Owners reviews. Typical breakdowns and problems in operation
Each when choosing a car invests his ideas about what it should be. Today on the roads you can find a huge amount budget cars And naturally, eyes are scattered from such a variety. It is very difficult not to notice such a brand like Skoda. Czech manufacturers made a huge jerk forward over the past fifteen years. But how many problems can bring such a car to your owner. But despite all the advantages and favorable feedback from fans, on Skoda Octavia A5 weak points are available and there are much more of them than it may seem at first glance. Tell you about some of them and summarize whether it is worth buying this unit.
1- Front suspension levers. Have a low resource. Staten serve relatively long, in the area of \u200b\u200b60,000 km. It seems like it seems that anything terrible, you can break and put a new original, but alas, the following "shoals" arise. New original spare parts Skoda Octavia A5 Produced in China. Like this. Now this car brand is 80% consists of Chinese details. But do not be surprised if we say that today almost all automakers have established the production of spare parts in the country of the Rising Sun. This is the norm.
After replacing standard, new levers go no more than 40,000 km. To be more accurate, the eternal levers themselves. "Scatter" on them silent blocks and ball supports, but everything changes assembly, although the components can be found separately.
So, in the piggy bank, write 40,000 km. Let's go further.
2-hub bearings. If you are interested in the weakest sites of Skoda Aktavia A5, then this is exactly the case. The front bearings go through only 40,000 km. Rear serve a little longer and publish a hum of 60 thousand. The problem is not even in curves wheel disks or shot balancing, and in the same steel.
Once again we put 40,000 km in the piggy bank. Follow further
3 brake discs. Here everything is like many others. In case of emergency braking, the discs are obtained by heat and lose their shape, after which it beats the steering wheel when braking.
Mileage does not affect this breakdown.
4-automatic transmission. If you have seen to a modification of 1.8 liters with a seven-step automatic transmission, modifications of DSG, then be prepared to replace each 100,000 km in advance. For a modern machine, such characteristics are considered shame. It is with this box that all car enthusiasts are tormented. The bulkhead does not give in, only replacement, and you yourself understand, find on the analysis new box will not work. It will be with a mileage of at least 50-60 thousand kilometers. That is, the residual resource is 50 thousand.
5 - steering rack. Surprisingly low resource. Somewhere on mileage of 40 thousand, full steering Rake at Octavia 5 Begins to knock. It would seem that I made music pogrom and all things, but no. Another 10,000 km. The back will appear, ride with one torment. This is a serious minus, although exactly the same problems are found on very many Japanese cars.
And again in the piggy bank 40,000 km. It is already interesting what will happen next?
6- Oil consumption. We will not attribute this feature to a serious minus, since it is inherent in only one type of engines, produced until 2012 and has a volume of 1.8 liters. 10,000 km oil consumption ranges from one to four liters. In principle, today many brands sin it, so that Ma can be removed.
7- turbine. It is still nice to leave the traffic light first, but as long as they do not come across the breakdown of the turbine. It will steadily "removes" once in 80,000 km and then, while gentle operation. You can even forget about buying on the disassembly of a used in use.
80,000 km. in the piggy bank.
Let's summarize. Every 40,000 kilometers on this car We'll have to change steering rack, levers I. hub bearings. For money, this repairs will cost somewhere in 50,000 rubles. Agree, everything is not so bad. But if you buy a version with weak automatic transmission And the killed turbine, then the sum will be doubled, or even more. In other words, you wanted to know the weaknesses at Octavia A5, you learned them, but before you bring any results, think about the following numbers. The rail costs about 25,000 rubles, the bearings are one and a half, the levers of 4,000. On the japanese car For only one rail, you will have to lay out over 100,000 rubles, though it goes over one hundred thousand, but not to say that 120 thousand with ease withstands.
Understand right, good, no one will sell you a working car. If you are thinking to buy a used Japanese as an alternative to Skoda, then only imagine what money you can get if you buy a tightly killed car, competently prepared for sale. It will be possible to change the same list of spare parts, but in completely different, European prices.
Previous Octavia in the Body A5 was produced nine years - from 2004 to 2013. And in the heal of forces - in 2008 - survived a serious upgrade. From "Octavius" on secondary market In the eyes of Ryabit. There is nothing to be surprised - smart, spacious, and, the mechanics are added, as a whole reliable. Although without technical punctures (and sometimes failures) did not cost.
What motor to choose?
If you calculate all the options for "Octavia" engines, then 19 pieces of 1.2 to 2 liters are obtained. But most of them are difficult to find in Russia. Two-liter FSI with a direct injection back in 2008, fresh 1.2 TSI did not become massive (our driver does not believe in such a volume), traditional Russian thinking prevented to gain popularity and diesel 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI, quite reliable and durable. Approximately 90% of all cars - with one of the three most running motors. On them and stop.
Skoda Octavia 2004
Skoda Octavia 2008
For the reliability of mechanics put on the first place atmospheric 102-strong 1.6MPI With distributed injection. It is very popular on the "secondary", but blindly take such "octavia" is not worth it. So, the engine has no piston cooling nozzles, which can lead to breakdowns due to overheating. In addition, it is quickly possible and 40-50 thousand km - wear out valve stem seals. It increases oil consumption, although the cylinder mirror remains without wear. Change caps are better with piston rings. Working with spare parts will cost about 10-11 thousand rubles (hereinafter - the prices of the unofficial service). The mechanics also note that this engine has changed the timing compared to the "ancestor". The car became cheerful, but a feature appeared - on idling Little floats tachometer arrow. You just need to get used to it.
In the electrician "Octavia" there are almost no common and at the same time expensive breakdowns. If found, then from the discharge of small, though unpleasant. On the 1.6 MPI engines there are malfunctions throttle valve. The main thing is not to change the spoil the entire block, most often the problem lies in the electrical connector and wiring. Repair is worth a penny
And what to do those for whom 102 forces of the atmospheric are not enough? There is seemingly golden middle in the form of a 122-strong 1.4 TSI - a wonderful combination of power and efficiency. But for new car. On the secondary, the engine has gained bad fame.The destruction of the pistons in the Sakha series motors is not uncommon. The replacement of the piston group on the upgraded will increase in the amount of at least one hundred thousand rubles. Oil consumption is more liter per thousand? It's right to beat the alarm. For those who referred to where it fell, the problem was also manifested by 30-40 thousand mileage. Refinery on cars from 2011 was somewhat improved by statistics, but did not solve the problem with overpowering oil.
Oil on air filter Speaks about the need to replace the crankcase ventilation system oil separator, which will cost 6-8 thousand. Also not distinguished by the power system. Often there is a problem with the fuel pump high pressureWhat is why gasoline falls into Carter. A foreign knuckle will help to diagnose malfunction on time. The issue of replacing the pusher for 2500 rubles or the TNVD is entirely in 15,000.
Among other problem details on 1.4 TSI - hydraulic equipment chain timing. Due to the unsuccessful design of the latter, the transition occurs, which can lead to a catastrophe. Appeared a stupid knock - bullet to the service. Few people managed to drive without replacing the node more than 75,000 km. The chain with a hydraulic guide, guides, reassureer and gaskets will cost 10-12 thousand rubles, and work is another 8-10 thousand. In addition, motors 1.2 and 1.4 TSI are long warmed in winter, especially with seven-step DSG - we were told about this in the material.
Motors 1.8 TSI with a capacity of 152 hp Reliable, although the increased oil appetite is two or three liters between replacements - they are famous. Since 2011, upgraded piston groups began to be put on them. Yes, similar troubles with the oil separator and hydronetenant happen. Here are just some costs significantly higher. For example, a timing chain with components will cost from 21 to 27 thousand, and work is about seven. It is necessary to listen to the engine in any modes. The stuffs during the cold start often talk about the ambulance of the regulator of the phase distribution (from 30 thousand).
Plus everything at the turbomotors, do not avoid challenge. The question is only in time. With competent operation, the turbine may not deliver problems up to 150,000 km. True sign The fact that the time has come to repair is a thrust loss, especially noticeable in high gears. There are many reasons: various valves, actuators ... And maybe the turbine itself is time to change. Accordingly, the costs of absolutely different order - from 4500 to 120 thousand rubles.
On some important work It seems to replace the timing chain mechanics advise not to save and put original spare parts, the more difference in costs is not so significant. But there is also a colossal scatter. For example, the price range of the steering rack from 40 to 100 thousand
DSG, automatic or mechanic?
True reliable from "Octavia" only mechanicswhich up to one hundred thousand mileage is usually not reminded about yourself. The classic machine is also true to the owner for a long time, but he initially walked only with weak engine 1.6. True, since the end of 2011 it was prescribed and powerful 1.8 after numerous sad cases with DSG. Identifying such cars the easiest way to lever boxes - the robots on it engraved the DSG abbreviation. But there is still a weak point from the automatic transmission. Often "flies" the heat exchanger (15-20 thousand), which is why the box stops moving to higher transmissions. Big plus when buying, if the previous owner puzzled by installing an additional radiator.
Whether the case is a DSG ... a seven-step robot with dry clutches at the dawn of his life received from mechanics for reliability firm "two". Passing only 20-30 thousand kilometers, some "Skoders" changed the clutch! Remarkable jerks and vibrations, especially at low gears, talk about a "roming" node. Who did not give the meanings to this discomfort, he moved to the replacement of mechatronics, which costs 85 thousand rubles. There are people who up to 150 thousand three (!) times changed clutchAnd in general, the box up to 200 thousand almost never lives. By the way, it was up to 150 thousand or five years of operation of Skoda over time increased the guarantee on the DSG. But if it is over, you will have to highlight 45 thousand for the remkomplekt of clutch, plus 10 thousand for work.
Less worried about the six-speed "wet" DSG on powerful machineswhere double grip works in the oil bath. Let it even less often, but the owners of cars with such boxes still visited the service with the same problems. In the concern VW, the box is constantly finalized, and now it is not so weak. But on "Octavia" over three years old, one way or another, DSG delivers too many problems.
What other problems?
Otherwise, the second "Octavia" can be considered a sample of reliability. At one time, there were, of course, other malfunctions. For example, whistle pumps or difficult cold launch Due to the freezing lubricant starter in the retracting relay. But, in the overwhelming majority of cases, these and other shortcomings have long been eliminated under warranty the first owners.
There should be no problem with the suspension. Before the first "hundred", as a rule, the owners are limited to the replacement of the bushings and stabilizer racks. For everything about everything will have to be given in the region of 3-4 thousand. Although, of course, children's sores are. From these, weak bearing bearings can be noted. At the turns of the wheels, a characteristic creak appears due to the scoring sand or dirt - this is a job about two or three thousand .. most of the proposals for dorestayling versions fit into the framework of 250,000 - 450,000 rubles. Updated "Octavia" - already at all in another price category 400,000 - 750,000 rubles.
Alternative
A5, aimed at the purchase of "Octavia", often look at the fifth Volkswagen Jetta (350,000 - 500,000 rubles), the fifth-sixth Golf (300,000 - 700,000), Volkswagen Passat B6 (380,000 - 700 000). Comparable competitors among sedans and hatchbacks of other concerns are usually cheaper, but inferior in size. For instance, Opel Astra. It can be found for 250,000 rubles, and for 650,000 - under warranty. Three years old Chevrolet Cruze For 400 000 rubles? Easily! For the same money big choice Four- and five-year KIA CEE "D and Ford Focus. All listed models advantaged 100,000 - 150,000 compared with comparable" Octavias ". In turn, the Japanese Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic There are approximately the same price range of 380,000 - 700,000.
The most reliableSkoda Octavia. - these are 1.6MPIand 1.8.TSIon the "handle" or with a classic machine. Turbged cars S.DSG. It is worth taking only "young", and watching them will have to be carefully.
We express my gratitude to the master Motors for help in preparing the material.

The Skoda brand in Russia at the turn of the centuries won amazing popularity. This is primarily connected with respect to the Czech automotive school or nostalgic memories of Soviet times. Secret in another: very soon after the absorption of Volkswagen, the Swedish concern began to produce "almost German" cars, but with price noticeably less than the "original".
The first Octavia, with its practical body of "Liftbek", the excellent quality of performance and driving characteristics, thereby becoming the "Volkswagen for the poor", becoming hardly more popular german cars. And the second generation of Octavia became larger, "faster, above, stronger" and generally perfect. And then the folk slogan has already changed a little, and now the car is more often compared with Audi, because the level of fairly simple promotional Golf V machine clearly stepped over, both in terms of motors and size and comfort.
The popularity of the model turned out to be so high that often Octavia was even slightly more than a more solid model of Superb in the secondary market, and more expensive Golf. As already mentioned, the car clearly oversteps the level of German models in terms of practicality, power and even comfort, and it looks bigger and more interesting. In general, further stories about the second generation of the machine, Octavia A5 (PQ35), it is 1z.
Diversity sentence
The second generation of the car was born in 2004, it was significantly different from the predecessor, both sizes (they greatly increased) and the architectures of the suspension and the choice of force aggregates. The selection of body types was preserved: a very convenient elefbeck was still offered and a more practical wagon, and the OCTAVIA SCOUT model was produced on the basis of the latter - a raised "off-road" version of the machine with a full drive.
The capabilities of the new A5 platform were fully used to increase both comfort and driving characteristics. Technically, the car is very close to and Golf V, but with one very important "but", the car in size fitted in " golden middle"Between excessively compact, to the detriment of freight abilities, hatchback, and too expensive and heavy D-class sedan, and the choice of motors was wider than that of golf. It would seem close to the size of the trunk and salon Jetta for a long time more than novelties From Skoda, and less practical, because there are no powerful motors for it, and the body of type "sedan" is less practical for the sole car in the family. The choice of power units made a car with a very inexpensive option for those who wish to get "Ignorable", because Octavia was equipped with a 1.8 turbo engine, which was not so far away from the two-liter turbogue on Golf GTI, Golf R or Octavia VRS in power, but the car with it was essential Cheaper than all factory hot hatchbacks. For those who could afford more power, there was Octavia VRS, with a two-liter turbo engine, and until 2008 it was a BWA series Motor, a nice higher forcing stock, rather than in later motors of the CCZA series EA888.

Dignity did not remain unnoticed - the car was one of the most popular models in its class, despite the no-low price. In 2009, the car was updated, the appearance became more interesting, and not the most successful two-liter atmospheric motor was replaced by 1.4 TSI, powerful and economical, and also not yet received the fame of "problem", and since 2010 European cars have been equipped with a similar engine 1.2 TSI, also much more traveled and economical than atmospheric 1.6.

And of course, from the very beginning the main engine for russian market There was a simple eight-flaped motor 1.6 with a capacity of 102 hp, considered a sample of reliability, so that those who wanted just reliability, the choice was always. On the popularity of the car did not even affect the fact that she divided the market with his predecessor, which remained until 2011 in the market as Octavia Tour, later replaced by Skoda Rapid.

The car was successful. The reason for this is not only excellent driving performance and body practicality, but also excellent performance, and a huge selection of comfort and security options. Almost all engines could be ordered automatic transmission, climate control could also be chosen even two-zone, not to mention several embodiments of the cabin, electric drives, all and a variety of "family" options, such as organizers of the trunk and millions of shelves and meshes.

Typical breakdowns and problems in operation
Motor
Everything power units Already got into focus of attention in reviews and . On the release machines until 2008, you can find an eternal and beautiful 1.6-liter motor on 102 hp, it can be BGU, BSE, BSF or CCSA engine, but the essence is one, as well as characteristics, simplicity, indestructibility and good thrust " On Nizakh. " In essence, this is the most reliable motorAnd the rest is far from him. The power is enough for him at the limit, but in the city there is even nice, especially if they do not hurt anywhere, but on the track will have to "twist" to keep in a tone. Very rarely there are atmospheric European motors 1.6 and 2.0, and this is not the most successful choice, especially 1.6 115 hp Two-liter motor still relatively reliable on the mechanics, although his piston group and loves to be frown, and fuel apparatus It does not really work in winter, and in the summer it is afraid of our gasoline. Much more common Motors 1.8 TSI BZB series with a capacity of 152 or 160 hp - As already mentioned, this is a close relative of two-liter turbogo travels, including in the right, besides, he is not deprived of the attention of tuning firms. The disadvantages, however, have enough: a small resource of the timing chain and a system of phase traffickers, often not higher than 100 thousand kilometers. Motor "eats" oil due to problems with location piston rings or wear of valve seals. But the chances of a good condition of the engine are considerable.
Transmissions
With transmissions, the car was not very lucky, as well as all the other folkswagen-like this period. Mechanical boxes Transmissions are almost fragile, but everything is very difficult with the automatic transmission. With a motor 1.6,02, the forces on the car were set by the usual "AISIN TF-60SN automatic" in all years of release. And let it with a serious overheating (which is quite possible - there is a very unsuccessful heat exchanger) The box fails, still the reliability is more than sufficient. The same machine can be found on machines with a motor of 1.8 release 2008-2012, they only overheat with this motor more often. The problem is solved by installing an external heat exchanger automatic transmission, but if you neglect by this, the first will suffer a hydraulicone, with further problems on the mechanics of the box itself. Machines from some countries can be equipped with this automatic transmission even in combination with 1.4 and 2.0 engines, but officially such cars have not been sold. Much more unpleasant surprise steel dSG boxes. The seven-step DQ200 is most often found in combination with 1,4TSI engines, but it was equipped with machines with a motor of 1.8 some years of release. These DSG boxes were abolished by "raw" contrary to the brighted responses in the press on excellent dynamics and smoothness. The boxes were crushed in traffic jams and quick failure of clutches or other nodes. In general, it was not set. Many owners changed several sets of clutches, and the mechatronics-block of hydraulics also faced the system. Fortunately, the cost of spare parts and works on DSG has noticeably decreased, but still this is not the most the best choice. Six-speed DSG DQ250 has never delivered so many problems, even though most of them on Octavia stood on VRS models. But the existing problems with the mechatronics block and the software malfunction provided it to her bad glory. These "robots" were installed on machines with motors from 2 liters, including all diesel. All-wheel drive transmission S. haldex coupling I have established myself relatively trouble-free, you should not be afraid of it. Sensors are saved from overheating the coupling, and it is well customized, providing a good resource of a node, not less than 150 thousand kilometers, and at the same time fast and accurate triggering.
Chassis
The complication of the suspension in comparison with the predecessor affected its reliability, although it raised the repairs price. The suspension at Skoda is strong, that's just no need to overestimate its strength. MacPherson in front has a good storage margin, but when replacing the price of aluminum levers can be somewhat subcortion - fortunately, there is a good selection of non-original spare parts. Behind this generation of cars "Multi-type", and therefore many levers and silent blocks. Fortunately, the resource of all this splendor is more than one and a half hundred thousand kilometers even on our roads, but the suspension must be checked strictly on the lift - it is "silent" on the irregularities to the very end, when damage to the levers already require immediate replacement. Again, the choice of non-original spare parts is very wide, for every taste and pocket.
Body and Salon
The only serious problems with the salon and the body is, perhaps, only the body itself and its corrosion, because in spite of the common opinion, there is no galvanized, the body protects only a good layer of paint, but without proper care it does not save from the development of extensive corrosion, and, Regret, it is quite frequent. There are minor electrical problems, but there are no obviously weak points, and troubleshooting is hardly expensive. If you think about the choice of Octavia, remember that the machine with an atmospheric engine 1.6 102 hp will be the most trouble-free And on the mechanics, however, and with automatic transmission, the probability of problems is minimal. More and more powerful motors - This is a lottery. Success strongly depends on who and how he traveled on this machine, and in repair they are significantly more expensive. And if you have aimed at Turbops, it is better to take a car with a 1.8 engine, overpaid against it seems to be optimal 1.4 just for the sake of a slightly higher reliability. But the machines with DSG on the secondary market belong to complex variants. On the one hand, even with a weak engine, such a box allows you to quickly and economically ride. But the chances of the fact that you will not need to repair in the near future, very small. In general, refuse. And the usual six-speed automatic transmission by 1.8 motor after installing an additional heat exchanger will delight reliability and comfort of work.amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; a href \u003d "http://palldaddy.com/poll/8945701/" amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp ; amp; amp; gt; What kind of octavia do you prefer? amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; / aamp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp ; gt;
It took place in December 2012, and Russian sales started on June 1, 2013. At the end of the same month, the production of the model at the full cycle began in Nizhny Novgorod. Nepatriotically customized citizens can say that domestic assembly and was the reason for the quality drop in the third "Octavia", but they will be rooted. In fact, defects are found on machines of both Russian and European origin.
So, the strong body of the car can distort the rapid appearance of chips and scratches, regardless of where it is made. Due to bad aerodynamics all dirt and water with windshield It turns out on the side windows. In addition, the rear review worsen miniature outer mirrors. There are complaints and insufficient. Some owners are ready to sacrifice 20,000-30,000 rubles to install additional "Shumkov". In fairness, we note that the "crickets" in the cabin is a bit, and their livestock does not increase over the years.
But on Liftbacks, the plaffers of the backlight of the license plate often fail due to moisture in them. Dealers usually set more sealed, LED 500 rubles from more expensive versions "". But the regular wiper brushes from the hands are badly coping with their responsibilities - most owners usually change them to new from other manufacturers. By the way, the "wipers" are effectively working on the glass with heating, which are not all versions of the car can boast.
The Russian versions of the car were put by gasoline turbo engines with a volume of 1.2 liters (105 hp), 1.4 liters (140 and 150 forces) and 1.8 liters (180 hp). In 2014, the base 1.2-liter engine was replaced by an atmospheric "four" volume of 1.6 l with a capacity of 110 forces. Turbodiesel is represented by a two-liter 143-strong (from 2015 - 150 hp) by the unit. All motors except the atmospheric differ increased flow Oils - on top of the top is usually spent up to 1.5 liters per 15,000 km. But if the flow significantly exceeds this limit, you must urgently contact the service. There are cases when the head of the warranty cylinder head is replaced. Equally as a turbocharger. But after the end of the warranty period behind the turbine, the officials will have to lay out about 100,000 rubles, and for the head - almost twice as much. True, many non-original parts and nodes have recently appeared, the price of which is noticeably lower than that of branded.

All gasoline engines on Skoda Octavia are designed for fuel with octane number 95. Some owners in their own "" pour the 98th, although it is for nothing. But the 1.6-liter "Four" can safely work at 92nd. True, to save in this case will not work - the car will require fuel slightly more than on the 95th gasoline. It should be noted that the thermostat (6500 rubles), gas station (15,000), candles and ignition coils, as well as the fuel injection nozzles (26,000 rubles) may be prematurely in motors.
Engines work with one of five gears: five- and six-speed "mechanics", a six-band hydromechanical "automatic" or six and seven-speed DSG robots. As for the MCP and, they are generally reliable and trouble-free. The clutch is withstanding an average of 100,000 km, and its replacement will cost 42,000 rubles for the original set of details. On expensive versions of Skoda. Octavia Sometimes, together with the clutch, you have to change the two-mask flywheel - from 48,000 casual.

But modern robotic boxes from double clutch Until now, there are a lot of problems with the owners of Czech machines, even though, for the last decade, they were upgraded several times. In addition, the manufacturer gives a five-year-old for mechatronics and clutch knot. Nevertheless, cases of serious breakdowns take place today. If you certainly need an "automatic", we recommend paying attention to the usual ACP, which is characterized by decent quality and durability. True, it is combined exclusively with 1.6-liter gasoline engine Power of 110 forces.
In the OCTAVIA suspension weak place You can call rear shock absorbers (on average 6500 rubles), which often have to change after 30,000 - 50,000 km of run. In the front suspension of the rack (7000 virgin), they are withstanding noticeably longer. I must say that chassis Pretty tough and not every car enthusiast. There is one more but. All modifications of "Octavia" with a capacity of 150 forces are equipped with half-dependent rear suspension, and the flagship is 1.8-liter and - independent multi-section. Therefore, only expensive variants of the Czech car can boast filigue handling.

In electrical equipment, some failures and glitches occur, however, more complaints from users cause features laid into the design. For example, many owners are unhappy with the fact that the regular audio system is deprived of the CD player, instead of which is equipped with a flash card slot. Very difficult and mutually independently change the halogen light bulb far Light. In addition, it is worth a lot - from 2000 rubles. By the way, very often burn out the lamps of external and internal lighting of the car ...
Summing up, we can say that in the content of Skoda Octavia is by no means cheaper than her German cousin. But "Czech" markedly behind him in terms of liquidity - over the years, the car decently loses in price. Three-year-old Liftback in good technical condition today you can buy from 450,000 rubles. Quite lifting amount, given that the price list on new Octavia It begins with almost 900,000 casual.
Skoda Octavia second generation (index A5) is extremely popular in the secondary market. Her trumps are excellent challenges, comfortable salon and a huge trunk. For nine years of release (from 2004 to 2013), the design of the car has changed more than once, and seriously. Because different faults Statistics recorded a lot. Here are the most important.
1. Squares on paint
This problem concerns not only Octavia of any year of release, but most of the other models concern Volkswagen.. The metal metal is well galvanized and strongly rust only after illiterate repair. But the paint on it does not keep in the best way, often peeling with large pieces. First of all, the hood suffers, thresholds, wheel arches and places where moldings are installed.
What to do
Scoops are better to paint: some time, the galvanizing resists corrosion and without it, but sooner or later Schole will begin to rust. And the most vulnerable to flying sites (for example, the hood and thresholds) should be protected by a special film.
2. Body fittings
OCTAVIA has other body problems. More precisely, with its equipment. After a few years of operation, there may be castles (primarily on the driver's door) and wipers - both windshield and rear, if installed.
What to do
Wiper wipers are sealed from moisture and falling into the mud mechanism - if the wipers began to move on the glass slower, it is necessary to disassemble the node, clean and lubricate. Problems with locks or windows are more often associated with the cliff of wiring in the harness between the body and the door. It is worth periodically to check it and at the very first signs of damage to restore.
3. Fan heater
The stove fan can be covered after 60-70 thousand km - it seems to be a trifle, but very annoying. So repair does not avoid.
What to do
The new fan along with its replacement will cost the owner of about 10 thousand rubles. They say that the craftsmen learned to change in the motor only bearings: they are noisy. So it turns out noticeably cheaper, but hardly more reliable.
4. Chain GRM
Over the years of release, Octavia A5 has experienced the transition from atmospheric engines to turbocharged. The first are not so powerful, but reliable. But the second - how will have. And the trouble has a common turbogo - weak chains The timing, which stretched to 100 thousand km of mileage, and sometimes required replacement for 50 thousand.
What to do
The main thing is not to pull with repair. If the tensioner chose his stroke (for its control, the engines have a special hole with a plug), the stretched chain can jump on the stars. This usually happens when the motor is started - and leads to it overhaul Due to the fact that the pistons met with valves.
Over the years, Volkswagen upgraded the drives on turbogo-chains and the tensioners of the last generations are more reliable.
5. Oil consumption
The fault is characteristic of large-volume turbosways - 1.8 and 2 liters. They have 100 thousand km of ugar oil can exceed 1 liter per 1000 kilometers! Because of this, the engine is actively clogged, which, in turn, leads to a drop in oil pressure, depreciation of camshafts and inserts.
What to do
Apply only oil with the appropriate tolerances of the Volkswagen concern and change it more often - every 7-7.5 thousand km. The root cause of the fault is the unsuccessful design of the pistons and piston rings on the second generation turboades (namely, they were established for a generation A5). If the oil consumption has grown, it is impossible to pull with repair - otherwise its value from the initial 90-100 thousand rubles can increase threefold.
In 2011. year Volkswagen. Model piston group These engines, and the tendency to the "massello" they have become lower.
6. Superior
Another common problem for all turbobes is a turbine that ceases to give out the pressure. Sometimes it happens on mileage up to 100 thousand km.
What to do
Fortunately, the turbocharger itself is not to blame for themselves (and those who are not lucky, they will have to give about 60 thousand rubles for his replacement): it usually serves 150-200 thousand km. More often fails with a less expensive bypass valve. Volkswagen, by the way, and here did not stay aside: now it offers more reliable repair kit for the turbocharger.
7. DSG.
Octavia A5 is one of the first models of the concern on which the preselative "robot" was installed. So, its owners learned about all the "childhood diseases" of the unit, which arose on mileage 100, 80, or even 50 thousand km - about the rapid wear of clutches, refusals of the control system (mechatronics), breakdown of the shift forks ...
What to do
DSG repair will cost several tens of thousand rubles, depending on the scale of malfunction. In order for the box to serve longer, you need to use it carefully: it does not like creeping plugs and sharp starts.
Many Octavia buyers solve the problem dramatically, choosing earlier copies and versions with a classic "automatic". Although on the secondary market, such cars are more expensive. The hydromechanics are really reliable, although it also happens, breaks - and its repair will cost no cheaper. And still, DSG has one advantage over the "automatic": the state of the "robot" can be assessed before buying using computer diagnostics.
8. "Mechanics"
Part of the buyers, frightened problems with turbobologists and DSG, stops its choice on the simplest version of the vehicle - with an atmospheric 1,6-liter engine. It is really reliable and serves to 300 thousand km, but provided timely replacement timing belt and pump. But, in a pair, the 5-speed MCP is paired with a more advanced 6-speed resource, demanding repairs up to 150 thousand km.
What to do
The weak point of this box is the bearings of the shafts: they wear out and begin to buzz. Tolerate excess noise It is not worth it because the faulty bearings are capable of spoiling other details. And then it will have to give for repair noticeably more than the minimum necessary 60 thousand rubles.
