  1. Thank you for your help. will look at linkage first, if knacked best to sling and replace me thinks.
  2. Octavia TDI 2002 Elegance estate, I have had problems with my front wipers for over a year now, it always seems to be when the temp outside is low this winter and last, they either won't work or seem stiff and on a recent trip coming home this week, I had to pull over 3 times to manualy grab them to make them work again, when the weather warms up no probs, I will def have to have a look this spring and sort it. So what do you think Linkage, or wiper motor? any known probs? Can't stick another winter of this.
  3. Can anyone recommend good replacement front discs for my 2002 Octavia 110 elegance estate, The pattern ones that where fitted by the garage when I brought it are already warped, and I had the same problem when using pattern front discs and even rear drums on my Pug 405 estate I used to own. So it’s either a case of I will have to cough up for factory ones from Skoda or do you know of a good supplier that sells discs that are as good? Thanks David
  4. Been there done that, same year and model as yours. I came on here some months back with this problem which haunts this model, bloody VNT, I listened to all the good advice, some good folk on here, I prayed it would be anyone of the other faults listed, but knew in my heart what it was, so after spending a small fortune having a new turbo fitted no more problems since may last year, I am lucky that I know some good people at a trad country garage in suffolk, and they don't charge the earth or rip you off, I have always tried to do most jobs over the years on my cars, but this one I am glad I paid for, Had the belts done at the same time, I have heard tales of people cleaning them out, but it does not seem to work for the long term too hit and miss I felt considering I wanted to keep the car for some time as yet, Garret or vw should be shot for the pain of this bloody idea, imo. Good Luck.
  5. Yer door mirror hole, got it all back together now, ta for your help, ahh what happened to the good ole days of just rods to operate the door catches :think:
  6.

  8. Hi all, Could someone kindly tell me where to find my engine code for my 2002 Octavia estate 110 elegance is it AGR or ????? I just am not sure where to look so I can identify it. Thanks
  9. I have one of the common problems that seem to curse these cars Charge pressure control positive deviation P1557 it comes and goes, as an experiment and I know it’s not a good idea but I have tried a few times when it starts to play up usually when you get to between 60 and 70 mph stopping the engine let it free wheel and restart it again and every time it picks straight up with no more problem. I have read on here about the sticky vanes etc but to my thinking it has to be some sort of electrical fault surely, the car has done about 130000 miles and has no other issues, any ideas would be appreciated, thanks. David
