I'd never thought of that, mind you, I didn't think I'd be having problems so soon after buying. I think because I'm new to Briskoda I cannot upload a video / sound bite at the moment, it would be easier for others to perhaps identify. I will have another look this afternoon and try to narrow it down if I can.

Hmm, well I was wondering myself if that could be it, or at least related to the belt. According to Skoda, it will be due a belt next year, but mileage wise against age... it isn't going to be long. I know it hasn't had the washer bottle changed on it, apparently they're changed when the belt is done but it's booked in at a Skoda dealership for a service in 3-4 weeks. I have advised them of the issue already so they can keep an eye out. What are Skoda main dealers like? I didn't know whether to go there or try a reputable independent? I'm new to the area so unsure of who's good and bad which is why I opted for the dealer.

It has got some uneven tyre wear, however, it seems minor and it's soon going to get a new set all round with tracking. Haha, yes, I know all too well about the Scottish pished

It appears all o.k. If you boot it, the car shifts reasonably well. The only other thing I've noticed is that pulling away slowly in 1st and then changing to 2nd, sometimes it feels like there's a bit extra power going down on the front n/s tyre. I'm not sure if that's just the 4WD/AWD system shifting power.

I'm interested to know if there's a meet still on somewhere? Just bought a Scout, just joined, but had Skoda's for the past 3 years.

Afternoon all, I have just bought a 61 plate Octavia Scout 2.0 diesel CR with around 50,000 miles. The engine when idling sounds a bit like Ivor the Engine, the children's television programme. I can only describe it as a sort of, please bear with me on this..... pished.... pished.... pished.... pished sound. About 1 "pished" every second. It appeared to come from near the bulkhead of the engine bay, about 6-8 inches in from the left hand side of the bonnet in front of the driver. I haven't been able to hear it when driving. Cheers H

Afternoon all, Just a quick intro of myself. Had a Felicia for some time and it was great, albeit a little basic. I have just upgraded to a Scout 2.0 diesel CR. Absolutely love it, but had the car 4 days and there's a couple of unknown sounds that perhaps need attention. I will post a question on this in the Octavia section, but it sounds a bit like Ivor the Engine when on tickover, a sort of, pished..... pished......pished ......pished sound. Anyway, Cheers for now H, Peterborough
