As above I had the 7 speed dsg which would happily do 30mph in 6th and 40mph in 7th,good economy as well 45plus to a gallon.

OV62DKF was on the dealers website Friday afternoon sold/reserved Saturday morning! In the 3 and a half years of ownership its retail value dropped £500!

Tomorrow is a sad day as I say farewell to my lovely Octavia. It has been traded in for a larger car,a CR V. I wanted a younger model but there was nothing out there at the time but I plan to stay on here giving advice to anyone with a Mk2 FL or Roomster my previous car. So OV62DKF will be out up for grabs,it has served me well and been totally reliable apart from the water pump failing a week before I sold it!

I have a 62 plate estate with the 1.4 engine mated to the 7 speed dsg box. Car has done over 60k with myself putting around 20k miles on it and the only problem I've had is to put a new water pump on it,tomorrow in fact. No oil or coolant loss excellent mpg, over 42 mpg, since I've had it. A really great drive even fully loaded with 4 passengers.

I have a rattling noise coming from the drivers side of my engine which I think is coming from the water pump. Engine is the 1.4 petrol on a 62 plate Octavia. The low level water/temperature warning light came on and I've lost about 250ml of coolant so it maybe leaking from the pump. Any way any one know how difficult or easy it is to replace the pump or is the rattle some thing else? Thanks.

Currently run a 62 plate Octavia estate with 61000 on the clock. Had the car 3 years now and no problems what so ever with the engine.I have always serviced it at the mot and it has never needed extra oil or water. Returns high 40s mpg on a run,low 40s loaded up all with the 7 speed dsg.

When I got may fl estate that came without 2 of the rear headrests. Quote from Skoda for new was £117 each! Went round my local scrapper and found a similar style from a Mk 5 Golf,£20 for the pair plus they were full size and not the small narrow ones.
