Well, I feel special now I became aware of the VNT problem recently so have been driving in lower gears trying to keep revs over 2000 half the time. Going to see if I can get it onto a ramp and check the actuator by hand. That or take it to my dad's mechanic for another opinion on the issue. Final stop is probably volksautos. Have trouble convincing my brother to take it because of the fault. Thanks for the responses as well everyone. I Feel very welcome here

A little under 80,000 miles but I don't drive it much these days. Used to be a motorway car but last 2000 miles mostly in town.

These mk 3's are absolutely gorgeous! :love:

It's an ASZ. I had no idea they were rare! I'm thinking of trying out volksautos in sutton for a second opinion. Thanks! It's giving me grief if I take it over 4000 rpm (limp mode and overboost) so hoping to have it sorted soon.

Ok.. so I'm having a little engine trouble and I took it to a mechanic. I'm a little confused though as he's telling me it's not a PD. As far as I'm aware it's a Skoda Octavia I AMBIENTE TDI 130 (two red letters on the back). It's a 6 speed. I wasn't aware of any 130's that are non PD and the V5 even has 130 written in it. Is mine definitely a PD?

So I found these forums when looking at getting a 1.9 TDi engined car. Glad to say I finally made the purchase late last year I've been using the forums to help me look up little issues here and there and how to possibly fix them. I'm the proud owner of a mark 1 1.9 PD130 TDi which I love to bits It's currently giving me a little grief by going into safe mode but from the advice I've gathered so far it could be: Loose pipe (both ends have come off the intercooler at some point! Seems fine at the moment) MAF Split pipe (from EGR to turbo? from what I can tell it still looks ok from up top) Sticky vanes (I dread trying the Mr. Muscle fix) N75 Difficult to reproduce the issue but hoping it will be easy to sort out!
