What fixed your car in the end? Are you out of pocket?
-
I feel that even if you get the faulty actuator on the turbo fixed, the starting problem will remain. This story is far from over, I am curious to know what happens next
-
Any update on this problem ?
-
Yes.... When 900 years you get, wise you will be. Many Jedi mechanics trained, I have

I expect the garage did a test using VCDS (vagcom) in other words just checked for fault codes What you need is a garage that can do : 1. Compresstion test 2. Cylinder leakage test 3. Injectors tested on a rig
-
If the glow plugs are damaged or faulty you will get a light staying on in the dash Injectors or cracked cylinder head is the most likely outcome of this problem

Wow, It’s not possible to fully test injectors when the they are in the engine, they need to be removed and flow tested on a test rig Diesel engines cannot compress water... that’s why they bend con-rods if driven into a flood and water is sucked in the intake Clearly your engine has been damaged and proper diagnostic needs to be done. Please keep us posted

Another vote for 4x4 here, To answer the original question is 4x4 worth getting, well for me it is. I have found no disadvantages like noise tyre wear or high fuel consumption I do a lot of driving in bad weather not just snow and ice but rain and feel safer with the extra grip My expectation is that come trade in time the car should make a good price, also 4x4s are better for towing. I think Skoda should offer DSG option maybe they will soon

Hi all For people reading this I wish explain the term “bad fuel”. Bad fuel is contaminated fuel, the contamination can be water, dirt, metal filings or acid Metal filings can happen if a transfer pump fails and starts to break up Acid is used to wash the die from agricultural fuel (red and green diesel) which is totally illegal

There is a lot data on the internet that suggests that modern (low sulphur) diesel lacks essential lubrication qualities needed for long injector life. One solution is to add two stroke oil to diesel fuel. The best type is marine two stroke TC-W3 spec (low ash)

Have used AVG and many others but like Avast! the most http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

http://www.wexforddieselservices.ie/ As the previous poster said a recon injector (new nozzle) should be half the price of a new injector and just as good See link

I think you should pursue a warranty claim with Skoda customer care even if it’s out of warranty, you may find they will offer to pay half the repair bill assuming it’s a premature failure (defective injector) However if they analyse the fuel and find that to be the cause(in other words bad fuel caused the problem) they won’t help you
