Hi!

First of all, sorry that I'm writing in English but I'm from Russia and don't speak Czech.

I have already asked similar question on forum.skoda-club.ru and just wanted to get some more information.

I have Octavia II Elegance manufactured in 2007 and equipped with original alarm with volume sensor.

Here's the problem: the user manual states that if I push lock button on remote control twice in 2 seconds it will disable dead-locks and I'll be able to

1) open door from inside -- and this works ok at my car

2) open fuel tank hatch -- however this doesn't work and the hatch stays locked

Can you tell me if second feature really works on your cars?

Or, perhaps, it is incorrect translation of manual from Czech to Russia and I should do something else to open fuel tank while doors are locked?

Thanks.

Hi mate and welcome to the community

I would suggest to you to ask guys at Briskoda.net That´s a huge English Skoda forum and I think the chance you´ll get the correct answer (you can compare two versions of translation) is much more higher there. Nevertherless Czech instructions say the same as yours - double push of lock means disabling of the inner handles´block + unlock of fuel cap cover... Cannot try this feature now, coz my OII is a company car and I keep it in garage on the other side of Prague.

Anyway I´d bet briskodians help you

Thanks! I'll try to ask at Briskoda.net.

I've got some confirmations from various forums that this feature works on some cars and doesn't work on other. Really confusing

However, I've finally managed to make my dealer research the problem

No results yet, but I hope they'll figure out why fuel flap doesn't open when it should.
