  1. Hi I have a  skoda octavia elegance TDI CR S-A  my glow plug lights came on and there was a bubbling noise coming from diesel pump send/feed unit it then went into limp mode. After restarting engine it seemed to clear then came back on again. I changed the diesel feed part from the tank same symptoms came back within 3 days and now it’s the same problem it starts and splutters and makes same noise again and goes into limp mode.

    It’s now been on a diagnostic and it said glow plug problem should I change them?? It also said I have insufficient diesel pressure

     

    any ideas on what it could be or what to do next??  Thanks in advance

  3. Hi all,

     

    Ive always had 1.9 tdi Skoda Octavia I’m looking to buy another my current one gave me 330k miles.

    Ive seen an Octavia 1.6 2015 diesel one owner from new full Skoda service history 121k miles serviced every 10k. It’s £5500.

     

    Any opinions on what pitfalls etc I should be looking out for etc greatly appreciated as it’s a 500 mile round trip to go and see it. 
     

    Are these a trusty car mileage wise it’s a 16 valve engine and I’m wondering if it’s as good as the 8 valve 1.9tdi......

     

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

  4. Hi

    My oil light came on this morning, topped up the oil its stayed on, have taken oil cap off and slightly revved engine not many oil spots coming back up. 

    Loos like I will need to change oil pump would be grateful if anyone can direct me to a tutorial to view online before I attempt the job or any other suggestions as to what it might be before I change the pump. It is an ASV engine on a 2003 Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi model.

     

    Thanks

  5. Yes should do as the immobiliser will see all origional parts for it to work. What was the issue origionally with your old engine?

    Long story short bought the 2002 believed it was a good engine and it was goosed but the 2003 engine is fantastic so swapping 03 engine into 02 body as the body is very good on 02.

  6. You have the 2002 keys and the 2003 engine ECU? 

     

    If so, then the engine ECU thinks (correctly) that you're trying to start it using the wrong key!

    I am using the 2003 key with the barrel changed ECU changed and slip ring................... @KenONeill

  7. I have a skoda octavia 2002 tdi 1.9. I have changed the engine from a skoda octavia 1.9tdi 2003. I have changed the ECU's over slip ring and key barrel. 

     

    Now when I turn on the ignition the immobilisor light is on and the engine will not start although it turns over. I have done disconnection for 40 minutes and then tried to start it again but still light is on for immobilisor.

     

    Its a real head scratcher.

     

    I bought the vag com lead from ebay and tried that but nothing.

     

    its now driving me mad. Any ideas would be massively appreciated.

     

    Thanks
