Turned out to be an EGR valve and a hole in a pipe. Cheers all!

Hi, Was driving home this evening and my dash dinged with a message saying 'Emissions Workshop'. It was only there a few seconds before disappearing and there were no other messages or lights at the time or afterwards. My car is a 2008 1.9TDI 4x4 (no DPF, pre-facelift). What's the likely cause? I've seen everyhting from a £2 fuel sensor to a £350 job. Cheers

I've got an Octavia 4x4; I never set out to buy a 4-wheel drive car but it was the best Octy estate in my budget at the time and I'm not complaining. However, I'm just interested to know what it's capability/purpose was? For example, the Scout was clearly designed for off-roading as it featured a much higher ride height and I think had adapted suspension or something? However, the 4x4 seems to literally just be a 4-wheel drive version of the ordinary estate... does it just offer more traction when towing/on a loose surface/in snow etc or is it also capable going off-road or aimed at something else? Cheers!
