Hi, having a few problems with car heating and loss of coolant and sounds like possible coolant check valve/n82 valve. Wondering if its an easy job to change it myself.

Looking to buy a sachs clutch kit and wondering if anyone knows any up to date discount codes? Probably not but worth a shot. Tia

Did you manage to sort this? I have the same problem, only started after my car was in for repair after a small accident- air con condenser was changed as well as front bumper and bonnet. Took it to Skoda dealer who say this noise is just injector noise which I do not believe, I drove it for months after the accident and no noise, drove it home after repair and instantly heard this annoying noise

Hi do you still have this? Cheers Dave

Anybody had this Problem? No glowplug light and wont start until it appears and intermittent needle sweep. Anybody in falkirk area with vcds able to check for codes please. 2011 vrs tdi

Problem with my vrs tdi cr. When turning key to start there's no glowplug light and just won't start. After waiting a few minutes and turning the key the light pops up and it starts first turn of the key. I saw there used to be a problem with relay 109 on previous models with same symptoms, hoping somebody has dealt with this same problem.

It looks like there isn't a relay 109 on mk2 and that was on the mk1 octy, anybody any ideas what could cause this on a mk2 tdi? Thanks in advance

Have had a shot of a works van for the last 6 month so my vrs tdi has been sitting a lot only used once or twice a fortnight, a few weeks ago it was struggling to start, was turning over but wouldn'u go, putting my booster pack on got it to start ok. I thought must be the battery so replaced the battery a few nights ago and still didn't want to start. It was after a few minutes of not trying I turned it and went first turn. I couldn't remember seeing the glowplug light when I was first trying and tried again tonight, there was no light and just kept turning but not starting, left it a few minutes - turned the key and the glowplug light lit and started first time. Had a Google to try and find the problem and few things saying relay 109. How do I find out if this is the problem, just replace it and see if it cures it or is there any tell tale signs?

Excellent just what I was wanting cheers, yeah looks so much better in the red I wonder why it didn't leave the factory like that, that's definitely on the to do list!

Looking to see pictures of a red facelift Vrs with colour coded grille instead of the chrome, have saw a few pics of a blue Vrs and looks 100 times better so assume the my red Vrs would too but would really like to see before doing it. Also how easy is it to seperate the chrome and the black parts of the grille?

Is this siren from aliexpress an exact replacement? Do you have a link for it please?

Aircon was nice and cold when I got there yesterday so happy days

Oh yeah the cars an 11 plate, 5 and a half years old

Ok so if it's still not blowing cold air tomorrow I will get it in writing he will cover the cost of the repair, thanks again for the advice

Thanks for the quick reply, they said they are going to regas it for me collecting it tomorrow so I take it if it's blowing cold air out when I get there the compressor is ok? If it's not then I will obviously need to get them to agree to the repair

I am going to buy a car tomorrow and had an independent inspection on it today and he picked up on the air-con not blowing cold air, the garage said they have checked the air con system and its ok just needs regassed, is this likely to be true or should I be worried?

Just out of curiosity, how cheap did you manage to pick it up for? Will now be looking out for a bargain myself

I have put a deposit on one today and should be collecting it next Friday, 11 plate with 53k miles, fsh and is servicing it before I collect it, has a private plate included aswell which is a bonus. Paying £8600 which is not bad I reckon. Was thinking of holding out for one with some extras, parking sensors, hid's or sat nav etc but don't really need them and can retrofit a lot of things if I want to when I get this car

The two cars I am looking at are both basic spec, may be better to wait and keep looking as there are better buys out there. Just been looking on gumtree, autotrader, sun motors and eBay at the moment, anywhere else I should be looking?

Yeah that sounds more like it, looking at an 11 reg with 53k for 8700 so seems reasonable if it's as good as described

Looking at manual, diesel, average miles (60k on 11 plate and 70k on 10 plate) no extras just pretty standard

What kind of money should I be paying for an Octavia Vrs? I am looking at a 10 plate blue one with average miles and an 11 plate red one with average miles. Parkers says an 11 plate should be £8740 from an Indy dealer and a 10 plate £5450 from an Indy dealer, seems a big difference for one year so would like to find out a more accurate price from people in the know please.
