Fuse Identification
Each fuse in the fuse box is labeled with a number and a corresponding amperage rating. The amperage rating tells you how much current the fuse can safely carry. If a fuse blows, it means that the current flowing through it exceeds the amperage rating.
Fuse Replacement
If a fuse in your Skoda Octavia blows, you will need to replace it with a fuse of the same amperage rating. You can purchase fuses at most auto parts stores.
Conclusion
By understanding the location and identification of the fuse boxes in your Skoda Octavia, you can quickly and easily troubleshoot electrical problems. If you are not comfortable working with electrical components, it is always best to consult a qualified mechanic.
