Skoda Octavia. New Škoda Octavia. Skoda Octavia A5

Russian buyers have long been firmly loved by golf class representatives, especially if they are made in the body of the sedan. One of the favorites of the domestic motorist was and remains Skoda Octavia in the A5 body, and after restyling the second generation of the model, the level of its consumer attractiveness has grown much.

The start of the second generation of Skoda Octavia A5 took place in 2004, and that car was filled with the showrooms of dealers today was shown to the public at the International Motor Show in Paris 2008.

Skoda Octavia A5

By and large, radical changes did not happen. According to the tradition of the "older brother" in the face of Volkswagen Group, Skoda designers slightly changed the shape of the front optics and the bumper, as well as a little corrected the rear lights. Nevertheless, despite the almost completely saved concept of the appearance, Octavia began to look fresh, fully fitting in the current model line of the Czech company.

With more than impressive dimensions (4,569 x 1,769 x 1,462, the length of the wheelbase is 2,578 mm), the new Skoda Octavia A5, which should be expected, can provide a decent level of comfort to all the inhabitants of the cabin.

The driver will delight an extensive range of seat and steering wheel adjustments (angle of inclination and departure), as well as a new dashboard. Its changes lies in other dials, which, unfortunately, have become a little less informative, and a more pleasant eye of white illumination, whereas earlier vision was annoyed by caustic green shine.

All the necessary functions, whether to control the audio system or climate installation are under hand both at the driver and the front passenger. Moreover, in order to master their work enough of one glance, since the keys and displays are condensed in German clearly and thoughtfully.

The material prevailing in the Skoda Octavia FL salon is a soft plastic, pleasant both in the glance and touch. But when driving or low-quality ride, the interior decoration allows unpleasant violets. One of the causes of such a phenomenon is not the highest rigidity of the body of the car.

Of course, the main advantage of Skoda Octavia A5 is the trunk. In the Russian market, the car offers in two body versions - Liftback and Universal (Combi). If everything is clear with the second, then the first is nothing but a five-door hatchback.

The volume of the luggage compartment of such a car is 560 liters. A successful compartment compartment with a huge opening for loading and the possibility of booting directly to the glass make the Octavia A5 one of the class leaders in this indicator.

If the initial volume of the trunk is not enough, then the folding backs of the seats will increase it to freight 1 350 liters. The supervisor indicators even more impressive - the volume of the luggage compartment, depending on the position of the rear sofa, varies from 580 to 1,630 liters.

In terms of the level of dynamics and controllability of Skoda Octavia A5, even if not much, but still loses to competitors slightly. The most running and interesting motors are the engine capacity of 1.4 and 1.8-liters of the TSI family, but at the expense of the availability in a special accomplishment of buyers there are 1400-cubic power units.

In fact, this is the same engine that is installed on, but at octavia A5 it is deprived of the compressor, limiting the same turbine. However, the motor is very elastic, and in a pair with a 7-band preselative robotic DSG box, the speed is actively gaining speed on any gear.

In urban conditions, this is more than enough, even more so that fuel consumption with not actively movement varies from 7.0 liters with 100 kilometers of run. But on high-speed highways 122-strong TSI may not be enough. At high speeds, acceleration is not so assertive, so when overtaking the slow neighbors in a stream, it is better to switch to reduced transmission in a stream before, since the reserve of thrust may simply do not be enough.

The SKODA OCTAVIA A5 controllability is not the most acute, but thanks to a good tuning of the electric power steering, the feedback is traced on the Baranka. Nevertheless, the rapid passage of aggregates is not the element of the Skoda, as the car allows tangible, though not very large, the casual rolls.

But all this does not concern the "hot" version of Octavia RS. In our market, such octavia is offered exclusively in the body of Liftback and equipped with a 2.0-liter TSI motor in a pair with a "robot" DSG. This car is equipped with a sports suspension, which allows you to clearly and gently pass any turns.

Design Out of Time In front of the designers who worked on Škoda Octavia, a task was set: to make such a car that will look relevant and after many years. Their inspiration designers draw in the forms of the famous czech crystalwhose beauty is beyond the time.

Production. It is thanks to "Octavia", the Skoda company has acquired its share in the European market. This model is a bestseller not only in Europe, but also in the CIS. The car first won popularity due to its reliability and economy. But, like any other car, Oktavia has its drawbacks. Is this car good? Is it worth gaining a car "Skoda Octavia"? Reviews of owners, shortcomings and photos, see our current article.

Appearance

This model is made in several bodies:

• Liftbek.
• Scout (off-road modification with increased clearance).

The car is produced for a very long time. And for all this time, the manufacturer did not change the body, but did only restyling. Yes, it is impossible to call the car old. But she does not cling to any highlight. This is a simple car for every day (the European analogue of Toyota Corolla). It is quite difficult to make an appearance. This is the main disadvantage of Skoda Octavia. The owners say that the design of the car does not cling to the views even in bright color. Therefore, it is unlikely to stand out from the stream.

Corrosion

Around the "Octavia" there are many disputes about its corrosion resistance. Some say that the body is almost eternal, others complain about through holes in the thresholds. In fact, the metal in "Octavia" is quite high-quality. If the machine does not climb the ground with the ground and did not damage the layer of the factory LCP, it will not rot (at least not stronger than "Volkswagen").

What does the "Skoda Octavia" have shortcomings? Reviews of owners note weak tightness of foglights. Over time, they begin to sweat (especially after the rain). Also often fails the lamp of running lights (this applies to the already updated versions). The reason for this is the poor-quality coating of the base and the burnout of the contact group. Lights change together with the basement. Otherwise, there are no claims on the body.

Salon

The interior in the "Skoda" is enjoyable, but without delights. There is everything you need here. Ergonomics is well thought out. But lacks bright inserts and any new lines. With each restyling, the salon practically does not change. What are the drawbacks of the "Skoda Octavia" 1.4? Owners include complaints about electrical windows. Over the years, the motor starts raising the glass, and then it spontaneously lowers down. The reason for this is pollution of the guides. To make the motor not burned, the system automatically lowers the glass down (heat shifts triggers). You can eliminate this problem by disassembling the door trim and cleaning the guides. So that the windows ride in the future without problems, they should be treated with silicone lubrication.

What else has the "Skoda Octavia" flaws? Reviews of owners criticize the climate control system and air conditioning. Over the years, the compressor fails, even with the regular refueling of freon. Also wear a contact group of the central locking and the door does not open remotely. The owners are trying to harm the button harder, because of which it plays and stops working at all.

Another disadvantage concerns lateral mirrors. Almost all "Skodakh" they are small. And "Octavia" did not exceed the exception. It is impossible to fix this ailment - you have to put up. But this is not all the shortcomings of the Skoda Octavia. Owners say that in Liftbek is a very unreliable trunk lock. Frequently fails. Because of this, lighting does not work inside the trunk. By the way, the volume of the trunk itself is quite solid, which cannot but rejoice.

Power part

Among the features of the power part of Oktavia, it is worth noting the presence of TSI and FSI engines. These aggregates were developed by the "VAG" concern especially for Skoda and Volkswagen. In the ruler there are diesel motors in 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 liters. They are completed by the turbine and the system of direct fuel injection. Also "Octavia" is equipped with a gasoline engine 1.6. But in Russia these motors were not officially supplied. What has the drawbacks of the "Skoda Octavia" 1.6 on the mechanics? Among the minuses it is worth noting a small pump resource. It changes with the belt of the gas distribution mechanism. Also fails the ignition coil. And it changes with high-voltage wires. When running 200 and more thousands lose the elasticity of the oil-challenged caps. As a result, the car begins to let the characteristic sizy smoke.

The most problematic car is the "Octavia Skoda" 1.8 turbo. The shortcomings of it are as follows:

• Elevated motor oil consumption. A thousand kilometers can leave 0.5 to 0.8 liters of lubrication. And this is despite the fact that the piston group is in order and whole rings. This is a natural care of oil, which is considered the norm for this DVS.
• Small resource hydraulic chain. Often the cause of its malfunction becomes riding with low oil levels (control which you need almost every thousand kilometers).
• Water pump. She begins to make noise and leak.
• TNVD. Also fails and requires expensive repairs.

Due to the malfunction, the camshaft gear shift can occur. Because of this, the design of the motor 1.8 turbo is not the most successful - they say reviews. Therefore, from buying such a version is to refuse. The exception is the version issued later than 2010. The manufacturer declares that from this period he finalized the design of the OBS, and now it is deprived of all of the above disadvantages.

Gearbox "Skoda Octavia"

Gamma Transmissions is very diverse for Oktavia. The ruler has mechanical gearboxes for five and six steps, automatic, as well as robotic DSG transmission. What are the shortcomings of the mechanic "Skoda Octavia 2 A5"? 1.6-liter versions with manual transmission serve without special complaints. Among the problems can be noted damage to the anthem of the semi-axis, because of which the hinge fails. Therefore, behind the state of the rubber anther should be monitored regularly.

DSG.

Most of all the complaints are caused over which there are deficiencies in Skoda Octavia 1.8 with this transmission? As the operating experience shows, over time the car is difficult to switch the transmissions between the first and second. Also, the box freezes when trying to turn on the reverse. Specialists say that the problem is in the firmware of the control unit. But not always the ECU manages to reflash. Sometimes the mechatronics block has to be changed entirely. Also fails the clutch package.

A lot of complaints causes a two-mask flywheel. The idea to use such an element is quite good. This flywheel reduces vibration loads and make more smooth transmission of torque. But at the expense of its complex design, the item is very expensive in repair. And its resource is no more than 150 thousand kilometers. The cost of repairing such a box can be about 120 thousand rubles. If this is not done on time, the transmission will start switching transmissions with a characteristic crunch and a knock. Some owners by expiration of this period change the flywheel on a single-mask. This is the most budget way to solve the problem today.

Chassis

The suspension is arranged as follows. Front are the racks "MacPherson", behind - a multi-dimension. In motion, this car is quite stable and easily controlled. Also, the suspension pleases its energy intensity. The car swallows the pit perfectly. The exception is only the sports version of the PC, equipped with rigid shock absorbers in front and rear. As for the service, the silent blocks of the front levers fail on the run of 80,000. The racks themselves serve 90-120 thousand kilometers. The same resource and support bearings. In case of wear, they begin to crunch when turning the wheels.

Ball supports are quite reliable. Their resource is more than 150 thousand. Long serves and multi-dimensional rear suspension. The first repair may be needed only to 120-150 thousand. This is the replacement of silent blocks of levers.

Minuses suspension

But what are the disadvantages of Skoda Octavia? The reviews of the owners say that the suspension, despite its durability, is very expensive in service. So that the car is again in the rank on run 150-200 thousand, you need to spend at least 80 thousand rubles. By the way, the bearings are changing with the hub, which is also not very cheap.

Let's sum up

So, we found out what was the Czech car "Skoda Octavia". As you can see, the car is clearly not devastable. But most of them relate to the DSG box and the turbocharged motor 1.8. If you do not buy a version with such an engine and a box, Skoda Octavia will delight with its reliability. But after a run of 150-200 thousand, a significant investment in the suspension may be required. Well, then the car will serve as much time.
