I rather view as they shortchanged me 1 connector cover. Anw, those not impt to me as my previous car dun even have 1 and I'm not into covering up the batt with all sorts of covers.

Would changing battery by outside shops void warranty? Not so sure thou, my previous battery I changed outside. Current one is under SSC, they gave me 2 Yrs warranty for the battery.

ferrytales 4th Gear January 15, 2021 Share January 15, 2021 (edited) Tested the outgoing model 1.4 octavia today, was really impressed by the drive as compared to the kadjar/audi q3 but pricing wise ain't that attractive now. Torque and power were smooth without much of a lag. Might actually consider getting 2nd hand units that are 1-2 year old from the market. Anything particular I should look for? On a side note, the skoda chap also told me that the new model will be in around April and hopefully it gets ves rebate.
