Bought mine for £1600 about 4 years ago. Only remapped it to around 210bhp . No other mods but still loads of fun for a daily . Breather pipes have been a nightmare but all replaced . Keeping her till she dies . Well worth the money

Mine was a 2003 model. The black headliner was a factory option, usually with the optional sunroof but not always. You can also swap the white carpet out for the golf mk4 carpet 3 or 5 door. Also other common issues is the oil pickup pipe blocking.

I own a mk1 Octavia 1.8t 4x4 Elegance estate, pretty capable car too.

Probably cheaper to buy than the fabia VRS and mk4 golf GTI.

From India / Kerela ,am a big fan of skoda specially this Octavia . really insane one

I've owned my yellow one for 2yrs love it only cost me £900 with only 99,000 miles on it and insurance fully comp for this year £170.On a steady run I've seen 43mpg and round town about 29-33mpg.

Just bought one of these. Going from a fiat coupe 5 cylinder turbo. Then to a diesel for 3 years then to an 02 vrs. Fucking love it! Great to be in another petrol turbo after 3 years. Cant believe how quick they are. I bought mine with full decat miltek exhaust system. Lowered 40mm all round. New clutch. New turbo. New filters and fluids. Flushed injectors. all the big jobs done. And all the smaller ones you may not think that are relevant. 1300 pounds! Bargain! Oh and remapped by AMD to 230bhp. No traction in 2nd on a hot day with meaty tyres! The power delivery is completely different to the 5 cyl turbo I had. Hits you like a punch

I have a 1997 Octavia mk1 1.8 (AGN) with out turbo. The steel on this car does not compare with these days cars. It's like a tank! And it's also pretty quick for a 5 speed gearbox.

Your right dude these are brilliant little family cars! I got a right bargain, great value for money cars!! These with an exhaust and a cheeky stage 1 or 2 map (not stupid pop and bang map cos they run like shit with that done and getting pulled every 2 hours) 😂...

Mine has no engine light on. Not throwing any codes etc. But the rear door locks and one rear electric window doesn't work. Passenger rear side wont unlock at all. Even using the handle pull inside, and the driver side rear the door unlocks on the fob but the handle inside seems to of broke because theres no resistance when pulling it. So can only open from outside

I swear by these cars. Three months after I turned 18 my seat ibiza broke and I bought a stock example of this octavia vrs. At the time the car had already driven over 290.000km and luckely it was maintained well. Anyway I had the time of my life in the 4 months I could afford to own that beast of a beginners car. The only problems I ran into where a slipping clutch obviously my fault, a window meganism that broke and the transmission acting weird in verry rare situations.
