Umweltzone - Emissions categories Germany

Hi,

I have to get an Umweltzone sticker for my car as I'm driving in a zone in Germany which requires it:

Anyone know what Euro category MK1 1.9 TDI (90HP) Octavia would be in ?

just print off one of these:






seriously ...on an Irish reg car?

I dunno if you could even get one. In the German car registration papers there are some code numbers which indicate which colour sticker your car falls into ...no such thing on an Irish reg cert.

The official wouldn't know what to do with you

Seemingly it doesnt matter where you come from, same as paying the transit tax in Austria when driving to Italy you could have UK/Irish/Dutch/German registered car.

I can get it at any TUV Garage, just wondering if i could find out what category it falls into before i go .. would be a pain in the ass to get to work if its in the Red Sticker category.

As far as I can guess, your car is probably Euro3 or 4, ie a yellow or a green sticker. I'd be sure you need one too, given that they've gone to the trouble of translating the whole thing into English.

A quick google says that your Skoda should be Euro III, good enough for yellow
