Car driven for 8 hours today (taxi). no problems what so ever....have I dodged a bullet or is this the eye of the storm haha.

Got it back, the warnings have been cleared and running normal, no engine management or glow plugs lights. Couldnt be checked as the warning light went out. A load of old warnings were cleared from the system. praying to the Skoda gods it doesn’t come back but not confident.

Ok, are there two lambda sensors on the greenline octavia do you know?

You had my curiosity....now you have my attention. quite possibly

Ive already had that done, it was showing Lambda sensor. I had it changed.....ran fine for a day, then same message. then engine management came back on. It’s being sent on for a further diagnostic.

Thank you

Hello people, ive had the dreaded glow plug and engine light appear on my 2011 octavia greenline. Which sent me into limp mode (wasn't far from home) i was told at the garage it was the lambda sensor which was replaced. The next day it drove perfectly fine but the same warning lights came up, I then struggled to start the car but eventually started it and managed to get it back to the garage. ive been told it could be the starter motor now. anyone shed some light or point me in the right direction with this. thank you

I've had a force regen done, there was 26grams of soot in the DPF, anything over 33grams means its too blocked to regen and needs to be 'flushed' (apparently). Car running fine much more responsive on the acceleration.

Hi, I had the EGR valve replaced last week on my octavia greenline 1.6 2011 (£600!!) Today my DPF filter light has come on and I havent managed to regen on the motorway. Ive booked it in tomorrow for a deep clean 'flush'. Has anyone had the same problem after having the EGR valve replaced? Next option if this doesnt work is possibly to have the DPF mapped out, however it is a private hire taxi so im not sure if this will fail me on the emissions.

Well I want to get the best fuel economy out my car not too difficult to understand.

Sorry, Its a 2011 1.6 Greenline.

Hi there, what brand of fuel do people recommend for diesel octavia. I tend to use shell v power, does anyone else notice a big difference in the way the car runs with different fuels? I find the acceleration slightly sluggish when topping up at supermarkets.
