Sleek exterior styling, an updated engine lineup, and improved interior materials—despite these upgrades, the third-generation Škoda Octavia remains a thoroughly practical family car. In this article, we provide detailed fuse box diagrams and locations for the Škoda Octavia (3rd generation; chassis code 5E; MQB platform) covering model years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and the facelifted models from 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Below you will find the locations and photos of the power distribution boxes. Fuses responsible for the “Cigarette lighter” and “Fuel pump” are highlighted in bold.
In the Engine Compartment
The fuse box is located on the right side of the engine compartment behind a protective cover. To access the fuses, press both locking catches (1) simultaneously and pull the cover upward.
