I went through this with my now ex 2005 1.9 TDI Octavia. I changed Battery, Coolant sensor to no avail. Went to shark Performance for a turbo issue and while there they did the Software update which cured the problem.

Two goldfish in a tank. First Goldfish says to the other "Do you know how to drive this " ?

Comb over ? lol

Drop Links ??

My worst was socks. First time ever I've been bought socks for crimbo ! Best, my son's bought me a ticket for the Le Mans 24 hour. Ok he's bought himself one to, but I was made up !!

Hi. I don't want to put the "mokkers" on this, but a few weeks ago I posted on here about my 105bhp Octavia having loads of power but poor economy. I've had it on 2 rolling roads getting figures of 116bhp and122bhp. I was told that it hadn't been mapped but that the Variable Vanes on the turbo were stuck open and the ECU was compensating by putting more fuel into the engine to compensate. Hence I was getting more power but poor fuel economy. I have since had a reconditioned Turbo fitted. This has considerably improved the fuel economy and the car feels a lot smoother to drive. It does still feel it has more than 105 bhp though when comparing it to my sons' 105 bhp Golf.

Blue Tac ! lol

Perhaps he means the pumps been connected to a separate power supply and it runs. But doesn't run on the car.

Hi. Looks like an "Acme" thread to me.

Hi, my Octavia (05plate) is fitted with a Sports Suspension set up and 17" wheels from the factory. I'm sure they are ET56. Oh just seen you've a VRS, maybe bigger diameter brakes ?

Full marks for Motors in Motion here ! :clap:

My last check, full tank to full tank gave me 34 mpg.

Fair comment..

Hi, yeah, I'd sooner get things looked at by people who know what they're doing rather than trying this that and the other.

I suppose you're right.......... in theory. I've had the car since March, how long before that the turbos' been stuck is anyone's guess. Could it be beyond redemption ?
