Offical Skoda octavia Workshop service manual - say what??

trailblazerxp · 19-11-2004, 17:47

So I was at a skoda dealer today picking up a pollen filter in the hope that it'll fix the misting/condensation problem with my octavia, when I asked how much the service manual is for the octavia.

It's available all right, in a sixteen volume set at a total cost of £750.00.

No not a misprint. You can order individual volumes , price varies from £40.00 and up.

Maybe time for a concentrated effort to get haynes to do a manual??

Or I could always get you a disc.

Hopefully with Skoda going across to ELSA next year manuals will be a thing of the past.

If a disc is available for the workshop manual for the Octavia i would be intrested.So long as it's a bit under £750!!!Where do you get them?

The Skoda workshop manuals (ELSA) arent on disc as yet (or at least not in the UK).

VW, Audi and SEAT have been using the system for a number of years, been told the Skoda version is being done, out next year.

Look on ebay.
QCP-1 sells DVD for Skoda.
You need to be a Computer expert to get it to work.

Just buy an Elsa dvd for the vw. The Golf gti is very similar to the vrs.This is what i use anyway, Although the haynes manuals are very good.

I would be very surprised if this skoda dvd worked.I tried Elsawin v3.4 for the Skoda and no luck.It did slightly support the mk2 though.

The support for the MK1 is very poor in Skoda Elsawin 3.3

As Stu says the so-called Skoda Elsawin has virtually zero Mk1 Octavia coverage. As said, mechanical stuff is covered with Golf 4 info, but it doesn't help with Octy specific stuff
