The Improved Braking Thread
TB1 replied to myheartbeatsfortwo's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
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!

Please help me m2 VRS running problem
TB1 replied to christophertarratt's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Knackered PCV, do a search, very common fault. It's well documented on other VAG forums. -

Starting real rough all the time
TB1 replied to ashS_skoda's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
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! -
2007 octavia Vrs- 01435 fault code
TB1 replied to Lineman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Cost me around £350 at the main dealer last year. -
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.

Skoda Octavia 2.0 FSI 4x4 - newbie buyer help please.
TB1 replied to Gastank's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
The FSi 4x4 is very thirsty due it's short gearing. -
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.

Rev D is the newest. Rev G is older But better than a Rev C which are almost guaranteed to fail
-
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.
-
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.

Octavia MK2 Electric Drivers Window
TB1 replied to Darren F's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
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? -
Lots of nice bits for a Mk2 Octavia - PICS ADDED ;)
