Yes, the octavia was fine when cold.
Fwiw, both vag and volvo boxes use straight 75w oil, I replaced our vag oil with gulf fe 75w80 for a bit less thinning when hot to ensure the synchro maintains its performance. This is a known thing however on the vag boxes that 75w80 works better, cant speak for the volvo box at present (until I change mine for the same oil and see)
