Skoda Octavia A7 exported to Russia were equipped with 1.2 TSI engines (later replaced by 1.6 MPI), 1.4 TSI, 1.8 TSI and a 2.0 TDI diesel unit, complete with manual, automatic or robotic gearboxes. The service life of the units will depend on the correctness and frequency of maintenance. Therefore, all routine maintenance must be done in strict accordance with the maintenance card. For the frequency of maintenance, what is needed for this and how much each maintenance will cost for the Octavia III A7, see the detailed list.
The replacement period for main consumables is 15000 km or one year of vehicle operation. During maintenance, there are four main maintenance tasks. Their further passage is repeated after a similar period of time and is cyclical.

The decision which routine work to undergo at a service station, and which you can handle with your own hands, you make based on your own strengths and skills, remembering that all responsibility for the actions performed lies with you. Therefore, you should not delay the next maintenance, as this may affect the performance of the car as a whole.
Brake fluid typically receives little attention. Many drivers completely forget about it. And this could be a fatal mistake. While the car is under warranty, if the official representatives work conscientiously, the brake fluid will be replaced once. Then everything is in the hands of the car owner.
Why does brake fluid need to be changed regularly?
According to the regulations, the service life of brake fluid on a Skoda Octavia A7 is 2 years. After this time, it is recommended to change the fluid. To understand why replacing brake fluid, let's consider its composition and properties.
The brake system of the Skoda Octavia A7 uses DOT4. The base of this liquid consists of a mixture of boric acid and glycol. To improve performance, several additives have been added to it, each of which plays its own role. The significant parameters of DOT4 can be reduced to several points.
ATTENTION! The ingress of water into the brake fluid greatly reduces the resistance of the brake fluid to temperature loads. For example, if the proportion of water reaches 2-3% of the liquid volume, temperature resistance may decrease by 30%. Degradation of additives leads to a decrease in the lubricating properties of the fluid and also increases chemical aggressiveness. Therefore, changing brake fluid is an important procedure that should be performed at the frequency recommended by the manufacturer.
The freezing point does not always mean the moment of transition to a solid state of aggregation. When the temperature drops to a critical level, the liquid becomes so viscous that its movement along the highways practically stops. If the limiting state of negative temperature is reached, the braking system is completely paralyzed. The pedal is almost impossible to press. When a liquid boils, its most volatile components are released as steam, creating a so-called plug. A gaseous body compresses quite easily. Therefore, the force transmitted from the master cylinder is absorbed by the gas lock. In this case, the pedal becomes soft and pliable. If the brakes work, then only partially.
Replacing brake fluid for Skoda Octavia A7 and features of the procedure at a service station
To renew the brake fluid, it is completely pumped out of the expansion tank. At this stage, its composition is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the presence of solid inclusions. If these are rubber particles, it means that the rubber seal is being destroyed somewhere. In this case, an additional inspection of the entire pipeline and working elements is carried out.
When removing fluids from the circuits, its composition is carefully inspected for each wheel separately. Particular attention is paid to the presence of air bubbles and foreign inclusions. The presence of air means the system is leaking. There is an air leak somewhere. There are several possible points through which air can enter the system:
- Micropores on pipelines;
- Loss of tightness at connection points;
- Worn caliper piston.
Usually the appearance of air is accompanied by smudges.
If, while the brake fluid of the Skoda Octavia A7 is being replaced, any system malfunctions are discovered, the car owner must be informed about this. Additional repairs are carried out upon agreement.
Replacing brake fluid for Octavia A7 in our auto services
Our network of car services carries out maintenance of Skoda Octavia A7 cars on a professional basis. After the end of the warranty period, car owners often look for a less expensive service, since service at official service stations is quite expensive. We offer the following conditions for cooperation for a relatively low price.
REFERENCE! The work of qualified specialists, including replacing the Octavia A7 brake fluid, as well as the use of high-quality materials cannot be cheap. If somewhere they promise you that the replacement will be carried out by a high-level specialist, and the fluid will be the best available on the market, and all this will cost 2 times less than at a specialized service station - most likely, you are being misled. No one will work at a disadvantage.
If you decide to replace the brake fluid and want to get a guaranteed quality result, contact us.
Special tools required:
– A spanner wrench for unscrewing the air bleeder fitting.
– Transparent plastic hose with an internal diameter of 6 mm and a container for collecting brake fluid.
Do not reuse used brake fluid.
Observe precautions when working with brake fluid, and refer to subsection Brake fluid .
Brake fluid absorbs moisture through the pores of the brake hoses and the reservoir vent. As a result, the boiling point of the liquid decreases during operation. When the brakes are heavily loaded, this can even lead to steam formation, which reduces the effectiveness of the brakes.
Brake fluid should be replaced with new one every 2 years, preferably in the spring. If you drive frequently in mountainous areas, the fluid must be replaced more often.
At a service station, air from the brake system is usually removed using a special device. However, this can be done without using the specified device. In this case, the brake system is pumped by the brake pedal. This requires the participation of an assistant.
If during the process of removing air from the brake system, the fluid level drops sharply, then air leaks into the ABS pump. In this case, the air must be removed at a service station using a special device. When replacing any brake hose, air from the system must also be removed at a service station. Until this is done, you cannot use the car.
