There were no indications on the dash. Only when the front wheels started to spin in the wet on road and in the mud off road that I knew that something was amiss.

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Wonder if the Haldex fluid was changed at 60,000? I can easily imagine a lazy dealer leaving it ... i quite like 'testing' out the traction control in the wet and seeing the light come on as it kicks in. Happening far too often at the mo (even in the dry) on these ageing Rockstone tyres the PO put on to save dough for the RWC. They were actually quite good for the first 20k km. Looking at Pirelli p7s or Michelins very soon.Comment

I asked for the haldex oil to be changed at 60000km service as per the manual and dealer declined, stating that for your car it is not needed yet. Needless to say used another dealer for the 75000 km service and the oil was changed for free. Second dealer stated that it should have been done at 60000km and the other dealer probably didn't have the oil in stock.2011 Octavia Scout Premium (MY12) Artic GreenComment

You should report stuff like that back to Skoda to highlight the lack of product knowledge in the dealerships.Originally posted by ozscout View Postcarandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic
