In 1939 came World War 2. Czechoslovakia was occupied by the Germans and the period until 1945 was a disruptive one for ŠKODA. The civilian car production programme was very limited and the majority of manufacturing was to support the German war effort.

After the war, as part of large-scale nationalisation in Czechoslovakia, the company became a national enterprise and took over all passenger car production. This period saw the ŠKODA Tudor successfully exported as far as Australia and the introduction of the mould-breaking ŠKODA 1200 which was modernised several times before, as the 1202, finally ceasing production in 1973!

ŠKODA also manufactured the ŠKODA 440 which, in 1959, evolved into the first Octavia, named because it was the eighth model to be produced after the end of World War 2.

The Czech economy performed well up until the 1960s, then began to suffer because of new technology in the western world. ŠKODA continued to make new and improved cars – in the form of the Octavia, the Felicia, the MB range and the Rapid - but production really only grew again with the arrival of the Favorit model range in 1987. Such was its success that the final, very pretty version of the Favorit was designed by the legendary Italian, Bertone.

It's crucial that you use the correct screen wash additive, especially in colder weather. This’ll help reduce the effects of freezing. Check the instructions on the bottle for concentration levels against predicted temperatures. We recommend you buy a ŠKODA solution to ensure it’s suitable for your car. Contact your local ŠKODA retailer for more information.

You can also buy a premix screen wash solution that’s already been diluted correctly. If you choose this option, make sure you always top up with the premix solution – don’t dilute it with water as this’ll reduce its effectiveness.

Remember that the washer system can still freeze, even if you have heated washer jets.
