never had these problems with my morris minor lol

ok thanks

the DPF light only came on once b4 i had the engine sorted it came on 3 weeks after , i only do short journeys i dont think that helps a diesel engine . the oil sensor light only came on after the engine repair ,i assume like you suspect there is oil in the exhaust as i looked at the turbos the mechanic showed me was totally siezed up i did wonder if thes fault code readers are any good off ebay to reset the codes

im 65 guess im not the youngest

yes i only do short journeys i think thats why the diesel particle light is coming on

Hi all got my superb mk1 back a couple of weeks ago new oil pump .Turbo etc not exactly cheap.luckily there was no engine damage !!!! .now the oil sensor warning light is coming on approx once a week and also the diesel particle filer light is now on all the time local garage said give it a good blast down the motorway to shift the particles in the exhaust to extinguish it ,just wondered why the oil sensor warning light comes on the oil levels ok and no leaks wondered if it was owt worth worrying about the mechanic said it could be a bit of moisture around the connection any ideas ?

ok thanks for that .i think Skoda have a nerve charging £1200 for an inherent engine pil pump problem that obviously they knew about ,put me right off skodas wish id never bought one

i wonder is it possible to rplace the faulty 2.0 tdi engine for the 1.9 engine ?

hi Roto got 78,000 miles so far out of my superb till the pump went last week is it feasible to think if i replaced the hex drive and cleaned the sump filter i could get another few thousand miles out of it ?

thats exactly what i did replacing the oil and filter at 4,000 mile intervals but my oil pump still failed

i changed the oil and filter on my 07 superb every 4,000 miles but i still had the oil pump failure top quality oil and genuine skoda filter all to no avail im sorry but i am seriously fed up with Skoda

i contacted SUK but got nowhere they dont seem to care about customer relations at all there not interested , i have the same superb oil pump problem , the problem to me seems the very small shaft driving a larger shaft which is considerably larger it seems to me fairly obvious the hex key is going to round off , try turning a shaft with an allen key there is hardly any contact its obviously going to fail after a few thousand miles

if only id bought an Octavia instead

The latest modification to the oil pump balancer shaft came in ,in 2011 cost around £1,000 plus fitting

Hi Roto i wondered is it possible to replace the faulty 2.0 tdi engine with the good engine with no inherent problems or would that **** everything up ?
