Now sold. Thank you for viewing my ad.

I've appreciated the guides, advice and straight up kindness from members here during my time on the forum (mostly lurking!). My Mk1. Octavia TDI and the Fabia were amazing cars! I was quite let down by the mk2 VRS but still kept an open mind moving forwards. (It still had it's own charm when I wasn't busy fixing something!) Unfortunately someone has hit my wife's little Fabia which has now been written off. Replaced with.... a mk1 Nissan leaf! (I did try and get her to go for a mk3 VRS but the budget just couldn't stretch!). My Octavia will be gone by the end of the month as well as a gearbox/differential bearing is acting up and I couldn't justify the cost. I loved the Enyaq but it just wasn't financially sensible for us so I've settled on an old zafira tourer shudder (the way I feel AND the clutch before you ask!). I feel a little bit sad to be moving away from Skoda.. but hope to return one day when I can eventually afford (and am allowed to keep!) an Enyaq or some other form of skoda EV.

Late to the party but I absolutely miss my pd130 octavia. Wishing you many years of happy motoring. Also.. post remap (more linear power delivery) made it a joy to drive.

Long over due update on this thread in case someone is digging it up in the future: New injectors all round and a carbon clean. It seemed to be ok at first, but at the return of colder weather the cold misfires are apparent again. Just living with it now.

There are washers at both the fuel rail side and a seal at the engine side that need replacement. I have just uploaded all my photos but need to make a thread on what I did.
