Hi. Ok, thanks for that. 👍

Hi all, Happy new year! Does anyone know if there is a company out there that re maps the latest 2020+ Octavia 1.5 turbo petrol engines?? Many thanks in advance.

Nah, sadly had to scrap the car

I've literally only driven the car once since buying it. The problem arose straight away with an empty expansion bottle after just a 19 mile drive home. I took it straight to the garage where it has been since. Sorry if my lack of knowledge isn't enough for an informed opinion, I am now going to consider the matter closed as I am no closer to an answer. Many many thanks to all you guys on this excellent forum, cheers. 👍

All I know is what I've already stated. What I do know is that it has nothing to do with the a/c. The car is the basic ambient equipped model.

Thanks for that. I trust the guys I use,but I will try anything to get this resolved as quickly and cheaply as possible. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. The guys doing the work on it for me have done every conceivable test on it. The heater keeps going hot and cold. At first they thought that the head gasket had gone, but further investigation ruled that out. 2 weeks on and several new parts later they still have the same problem. The latest idea now is that something is clogging the block water ways, because at some point in this poor car's life some cretin has put something in the coolant to cover up god knows what problem. I may have to put a second hand engine in it!

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. I recently bought a 2007 octavia with a 1.9tdi diesel lump. Yes, it's got the dreaded BXE code motor. My problem is this.. Poor coolant circulation. It's at a trusted workshop,and so far they have replaced the radiator, heater matrix, water pump, flushed the system several times, bypassed the EGR cooler, all to no avail! Does anyone have any ideas as to wtf is going on with this otherwise sound engine. Many thanks in advance.
