  1. I find the ABS system in the octavia is too sensitive and kicks in too soon, making stopping distances longer.

    Remember you won't need a tax disc holder come October!
  3. Knackered PCV, do a search, very common fault. It's well documented on other VAG forums.
  4. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271514989784 Not tried it but seems a shame to chop the columbus
  5. I had some rough running after the plugs were changed, once I took the plugs out I found the 'technician' had put Vaseline around them. My guess is they couldn't figure out how to remove the socket once the plugs were in!
  6. Cost me around £350 at the main dealer last year.
  7. Mine was. Used quite a bit if oil till I changed the PCV when it showed signs of failure. Now it's hardly using any oil.
  8. PCV and Diverter Valve need replacing before you do anything else. High/hunting revs are a sign the PCV is stuffed. Try removing the oil filler cap, if there's a strong vacuum or the engine doesn't stutter when you remove it then it needs replacing. The stutter on light throttle is likely to be a split Diverter Valve. These are both cheap and easy to replace before having to worry about things like coked up inlets.
  9. Rev D is the newest. Rev G is older But better than a Rev C which are almost guaranteed to fail
  10. Yes very common for these to go. You probably won't need a new gasket but it's about £16 if you want a new one.
  11. Take the oil filler cap off. If there's no vacuum or a very strong vacuum then it's stuffed. Also the engine should stutter but not die but if it doesn't seem affected by removing the cap then it's time to change the valve. It's about a £30 part and takes about 20 minutes to change.
  12. Sounds more like the window rubber is tight and causing the window to drop down on the safety mechanism which detects if a arm etc is in the window. How old is the car?
