Talk:Škoda Octavia

message: Ok the octavia page says: "The second generation was introduced in 2004 based on the A platform also used by other Volkswagen Group cars, including the Audi A3 II, VW Golf V, SEAT León II, SEAT Altea, VW Golf Plus, VW Touran and VW Passat VI."
but if you go to the A-Platform page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_A_platform
it says that the Octavia uses the A4 platform which is not the same platform used by any of the cars listed on the octavia page.
Could someone who knows check this out. 
I will check back later and if no one has fixed it within a week I am going to put the information i have, which is that the A-platform page is right and the quote will read:
"The second generation was introduced in 2004 based on the A4 platform also used by other Volkswagen Group cars, including the Audi A3 I, Audi TT I, VW Golf IV, VW Jetta/Bora IV, VW New Beetle, SEAT León, SEAT Toledo II."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drunkenduncan (talk • contribs) 03:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Williamh120 The older PD diesels are gradually being phased out across the Skoda range. The 1.9 by a new 1.6L unit, with the same performance but markedly lower emissions (as found in the new 2009 Polo). Meanwhile the 2.0L PD units are to be replaced by common rail ones as found in the Golf Mk6, although these are initially only available in the Octavia VRS. Not clear when other models in the Octavia range will have the 2L PD diesels replaced by the new CR units.
However, the new engines are apparently quieter, and offer lower emissions than the PD counterparts they're replacing.
Incidentally, the Fabia sadly doesn't get the new 1.6 diesel until its facelift next year.
Can the Skoda websites be considered sufficiently accurate as a source for the statistics so that we can add these to the article? These new engines are not yet mentioned in the article, and I think something needs to be done about this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamh120 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Common Rail diesel engines 

message: In the Article as of 2010-11-05, the engine descriptions for the 1.9 PD type is missing the fuel type. The Table has the fuel type for the 1.9T-PD engine as a Diesel Fueled Engine, but the text does not. Adding in the Fuel Type , as it would be relevant to the discussion and also to be consistant with the text on the 1.6L Petrol (Gasoline) engine. Richard416282 (talk) 14:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing Fuel Description in Engine Size Designation 

message: The engine section near the end seems a bit confusing, and doesn't have the newest engines.
Would it be possible that the long table be split up, so that it could be broken up by each facelift? Saxophonemn (talk) 11:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

message: I'm asking people which photo would be better for the infobox seeing that it has been changed. Once again, the image that be self-insert by the author (in my opinion) isn't that good. The angle is skewed, the composition is all out of proportion and most importantly, it didn't need to be replaced just because it the latest model. --Vauxford (talk) 15:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The new one is quite poor it should definitely be replaced. Toasted Meter (talk) 17:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  That one was already used on the fourth generation infobox. --Vauxford (talk) 18:30, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I was originally going to propose that one, then I saw it in the article and deleted my text about it but I forgot the image. Toasted Meter (talk) 18:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The new one is patently unusable; the image of the white car should be restored. --Sable232 (talk) 21:18, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
