9. Rear Wheel Alignment. Most of the Skoda Octavia produced prior to the year 2006 have a common issue. The problem is with their rear wheels that results into rough tire wear. This causes a problem for the drivers as they have to change two tires on the rear wheels when one of them is bad.
Hello! I have the same problem like you (vibrating seats, chassis, sunvisors) except the steering wheel vibration. I have balanced my wheels about four times, aligned the suspension two times (at front and at rear too)I borrowed complete wheels from my friend and at last I bought four brand new tyres. Skoda has gone with a shift-by-wire transmission for the new Octavia, which means the traditional shift knob is replaced by a small paddle that lets you switch between Reverse, Neutral and Drive. Park is selected by pressing a dedicated button, and there’s an automatic, electronic parking brake.
I've just had a rear wheel bearing replaced on my 2006 Octavia 1.9 diesel, & thought this might be of interest to others thinking of doing the job themselves. Having read other posts, it looked as though I would need to buy both M14 & M18 splined tools. My socket set is 1/2" drive & I was having a problem locating the tools locally.
