I have just put a bottle of Wynn's Gold Diesel treatment in the tank. To my total amazement the car is running normally again from cold. What a great product.

Well my Skoda still runs rough when cold and there is no fault code. Could it possibly be a faulty coolant sensor which thinks that the engine is hot when it's actually cold?

What do you think of diesel addatives that claim to clean your injectors.Do they work?

No good news I'm afraid. The garage looked at my car this morning with a cold engine, it was misfiring. They think it's most likely an injector but with no fault codes, they don't know which one. So back to square 1. To replace all 4 injectors would cost around £2000.00, so I would rather just replace the faulty one.

Number 3 does have a pressure sensor. As I don't know how it works I thought best to leave it to the experts. It started rough again this morning but sorted itself out after a few miles.

Thank you for your replies. I have used a code reader which has failed to show any faults codes. I have tested glow plugs 1,2 and 4 with a battery and bulb, they show continuity. I am going to let my local garage have the car overnight, so that they can see it with a cold engine. They are suspecting a failing injector.

Hi all, How typical is this. My 1.6 diesel Octavia is always as good as gold until we go on holiday. First start of the day, and it runs rough, 3 cylinders maybe. After a couple of minutes it runs fine and is ok until the next morning cold start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.

Hi, please would someone advise me of the part number and where I may source the drivers side cluster of windows switches. The car is a 2015 Octavia 1.6 diesel estate. Many thanks in advance

Thank you.

Hello everyone, and apologies in advance if this subject have been done to death, but I am struggling to establish if my car has a DQ200 gearbox. Details Below Octavia 1.6 tdi Registered November 2015. Any help greatly appreciated.

I had a similar issue. After pressing every button known to man, it turned out to be the cable. The connect is still not very reliable.

Rather than get bogged down on how many miles or years before changing the fluid, just test it. Testers are inexpensive or your friendly mechanic would test it for you The job be can be done in 5 minutes.

I was concerned that my recently acquired Octavia had only 4mm on the front pads, measured with the wheels on using a drill bit as a thickness gauge. The service history suggests that the pads had only done 17k. The pads were Brembo's.

Thanks for making me aware of the Silca bag issue. I've just removed mine, a bit fiddly but not difficult. Will change coolant at next service.
