Thank you that is one of the clearest detailed videos how to do this tricky job , thanks a million

That damper caused me a lot of grief. A very comprehensive video. I took the side off the dashboard too. Top tip as I have just done mine. Use a sliver of sticky tape to cover the cut outs so the damper doesn’t keep falling off the glove box which can be removed at the end. Also discovered my car has had 3 Skoda services plus an independent one and it still had the original filter fitted. 👿

Thank you for the excellent video. Just easily changed my filter (& even re-fitted the damper arm which was left unclipped by the previous 'technician'!)

Well done, Chris. Excellent video. Everything very carefully explained and demonstrated, with some well chosen repetition to ensure we understand how it all fits together. Thank you. I meant to add that I too have a 2014 Octavia III right hand drive (here in Australia) station wagon. Great car but I have water leakage problems that might be coming from my sun roof, or from the front scuttle and through the pollen filter.

Thanks for the video. Very good. I also had grief with relocating the damper arm as my hands were too big to go down the side to relocate it. I also took off the small side panel with a plastic trim remover I had which was easy and made clipping back the damper arm easier also. Like the sticky tape idea. Thanks again for taking the time to do the video.

Well done and carefully explained. I'm going to try this next time it needs a change. Will give an update.

Very helpful Chris, thanks.I prefer the look of your method to removing the side panel. Appreciate the time and trouble you took to show and explain everything and make sure it was all visible. Astonishing how many videos don't. You've earned a subscription from me ;-)

A huge thank you! Saved me A LOT of time. Didn't have to use any tools except a flashlight. Going in from the "side panel" feels like a really bad method. Yours was excellent!

Thanks man. Your video helped me a lot.

Thanks Chris, exactly what we needed to see, completely confident to do my own now, very much appreciated.

Brilliant cheers!! Easy when you know how, thanks for the detailed explanation.

Wow.. very good explanation. After watching the video i went to buy the filter and exchanged it in the parking slot from spare parts 😁 . Thank you for the good explanation

Very good video , all your details helped me to do it same way as you described, Many thx!

Best video I've seen. Thank you very much for sharing!

This is an EXCELLENT video, thank you.

Thanks for the video. I will be giving mine a go this weekend. I'm sure the detail in this video will help lots. Thanks again

Nice one Chris, I'll give it a go. Thank you.👍

Excellent video, nicely demonstrated, much appreciated

Very good explained. Thanks

Hi, Your video was helpful. Thank you

great video. i found it easier, during removal, to actually leave the dampener in situ (hook end) and to just twist out from the glove compartment end. This was really easy. Sadly, i couldn't reconnect with such ease and ended up using your method of reinstallation.

Thanks very much Chris - it's a very clear and comprehensive tutorial! Can we look forward to more Skoda servicing videos?

Thanks very much for the tutorial, very clear! Thanks to this it was an easy fix!

Great video. It became very easy after ive watched this. Thank you very much

Solid tutorial thanks.

I wanted to know how to change the fuses in the event of an emergency and the manual recommended to take the side panel off as you too pointed out. That would definitely scratch the plastic and hence I had no intention doing that. Was relieved to find your video which is simply excellent. Cheers mate 👍

Thanks for making this video. It helped me

Very useful video. Thankyou.

Hi. Have you any ideea on how to remove the third tail light on octavia 3 combi.? Thanks

Thanks that video was very helpful.

Magic, Thank you.

Great video it'll help when fitting my dash cam, many thanks.

Great video, thanks.

Excellent 👍 thanks

Super job n vid

Best video on this topic, thanx from Italy 😊

very good video, do you know what is the name of that part or part no. that slows the compartment down???

Very good detail, are you able to see the blower motor when you have the pollen filter removed? Having problem with a squeaky one. Thanks

Seen a few videos and found this one with the best and simplest way to refit the glove box as it can be a fiddly little @#£@#£# 😁. Cheers Chris 👍

Thankyou for the video. Do you know if the MK2 Estate is in the same place? And do you remove and replace in the same Manor? Again Thankyou

thank you

Very useful.

Thank you Chris

Thanks sire

A nice video but it really is a lot easier if you remove the side panel as per the Skoda manual. It certainly simplifies clipping the damper back into position when reassembling the glove box. Just use a very thin flat-bladed screwdriver and that will avoid damaging the side panel.

Hi, can you also do the video on how to change cigarettes lighter fuse many thnx

How do you know this cabin filter needs changing? What does it actually do?

Can we have a video for changing the heater matrix please

Take the dash side panel off. Comes off with fingers. Then pop the dampener off. Pulling the glovebox off first risks breaking your dampener.

Useful video but I do think you're better off sticking to the Skoda Service Dept recommended method (eg side panel off & access dampener from there).

Thx good video but I can’t fix the side arm again

I have an octavia 2016 but it doesnt have that damper🤔

I find when a pollen filter is filthy your windows tend to fog up easily because the fans making a noise but not actually giving you fresh air.

To jest Skoda odbita lustrzanie hehe

Where is Fuel reset button? (Fuel kill button)

Why this company’s make things such a hard way. They wants owners always have trouble…

Man this is one badly designed car ... I mean it looks like its purposely made hard to work on ... And now imagine a fuse burning out ... on my saab the fuses are behind that left panel - in plain sight that is! No need to remove that glovebox at all.

This is terrible design. Do it 4-5 times and you will damage everything.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Stupid design. Put me off buying one

Nice vid I have a Skoda Octavia 60 plate diesel 2009 is that the mk2 ?
