Skoda is one of those car brands we used to admire in Nigeria. However, they seem to have become endangered species on Nigerian roads as we hardly see them anymore. Some of us even think they don’t make cars anymore but they are still waxing strong.

The company recently announced they had produced the six millionth Skoda Octavia this year. The milestone unit was said to have been produced at the company’s headquarters in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic.

The name Octavia comes from the Latin word for the number eight: ‘Octo’.

In 1997, Skoda produced 61,000 units of the Octavia. The next year, it doubled to over 117,500 units. The Octavia Combi, which also stimulated demand, followed in 1998. In 2010, they had produced 1,442,100 Octavias.. and they reached 6 million units this year.

Michael Oeljeklaus, Skoda Board Member for Production and Logistics, said, “No other model has run off Skoda’s production lines more often than the Octavia. It is the heart of our brand and represents the high performance of Skoda production and logistics. The Octavia has made a significant contribution to Skoda’s rise on the global markets.”

Hello Autojosh, I need your expertise advice.
I use a 2001 Toyota Camry V6. I noticed the Check Engine light indicator flashing and it jerks when you start it in the mornings and also jerks a bit when idle in the evenings.
I recently Scanned my car and got this codes from my mechanic:
P0300
P0301
P0303
P0306
P0401
P0440
P0441
P0446
P1130
We went ahead to change all the plugs to new ones and cleared the codes. After some few days, the check engine light was back and after a month, it started jerking again when started in the early mornings. My mechanic says i have to change the complete catalyst converter and all its sensors. which will costs a lot.
Please what do you advise on this.
Thanks

We went ahead to change all the spark plugs to new ones and cleared the codes. After some few days, the check engine light was back and after a month, it started jerking again when started in the early mornings. We scanned and got the same codes again. My mechanic says i have to change the complete catalyst converter and all its sensors. which will costs a lot.

Did he just change the plugs only? Because you need to check if the nozzles are not blocked and coils are not burnt. You also need to check the fuel pump, filter and sensors before heading to the catalytic converter.

During Jonathan period infrastructure was down.

Are you sure there's catalyst in that car? Check and confirm first.

FYI and for the record:
1) Skoda Octavia is not crap!
2)It's actually less complicated than MB if you can "afford" an adequate maintenance schedule.
3)No one should run away from the Skoda brand or the Octavia.

i)What model year of Skoda Octavia did u buy?
ii)Did u buy it new or used?

You're actually the 3rd person i'm reading such a complaint from. The other two are grossly poor vehicle handlers and lack even the basic maintenance ability.

I know persons who've driven their Skoda Octavia cars from 2007 till date with no desire to relinquish the vehicles. Others have used and sold theirs and the buyers still cruising em without isSHOES. The Skoda Superb is even more a delight to own. But that's a discussion for another thread.


AutojoshNG thanks for the heads up, plus including some of your insightful threads. You're one in 6million.

I can't advice anyone to use this car, expecially octavia.

We have 3 in our office and despite they are tear rubber cars, we never enjoy any of the cars for 6months.

Their repair workshop in lagos are something else.

Do you market for them? The car is really a scrap. The only good part is that it can be very beautiful outside but engine and other components can make the buyer cry...

I manage 3 of the cars in our office and you can't imagine what we are experiencing. The skoda workshop couldn't even diagnose properly.

We bought the cars new o

I beg to differ @dayus12.
The Skoda brand is world renowned, and the Octavia has a string of awards and accolades to its credit. It's basically a VW Jetta with more room, a better build quality and at a discounted price when compared with the VW!
The secret to keeping the Skoda & VW (as with other German cars) is keeping to a strict maintenance schedule. Mess with it and you mess up the car.
Most Skoda Octavia owners who've kept their car from new are very reluctant to put it up for sale, and so I agree entirely with Mrtesso!
The car is just a victim of the Nigerian Syndrome. ..If it's not a Toyota (or any other Jap car), then it's crap!
.. Skoda all the way!

Hello Autojosh, I need your expertise advice.
I recently acquired a 1.6 engine Skoda Octavia from a friend which he bought new. its currently at 58000 km. its a high performance car i must confess. How best can i enjoy the this car in addition to the visiting the Skoda Workshop. Also, are there basic things i can take care of on my own to keep the car in a good shape at all times?

Bebe nlo bi skoda

Not really good with cars but I will advise you drain the fuel maybe it's adulterated or water is mixed in it
