I hope so Yes I had a car for about 6 months got it in autumn

Yep same here , Im from Poland and it took me a wile to get use to it ,

Never seen 60 on my computer ..... even 2/3 h journeys , cold engine 35 ish then go up to low 40s , city drive 43 is good on normal days , hmmmm maybe I should go for a proper service ?

I had similar mine is 1.6tdi jumping from 900 to 1200 and up and down few times , I had it after refueling and having DPF thought that might be it so started using shell nitro+ and it got better for a wile . It was coming back every month or so just not sitting in revs correctly , so now decided on checking if I got some water in my fuel , today add a "dry fuel" lets hope this will solve the problem .

Interesting , I have 1.6 TDI and on my last journey I had 46 miles ( my calculation ) , Got the car 6 months ago and always was around 40s . Today for the first time I saw over 50 reading from computer do I need to worry about something ?

Thank You for that , Ill look in to doing it like that , I spoke to a local police officer and he said that yes its illegal but no one will stop me for that Will see witch way I will take .

Took me longer than expected but had another go today on those lights . Connected straight to battery and working fine , tested also being connected to side lights and working fine again , now just need to make a proper connection to side lamps and should work fine , Hope that there will be no errors after fitting but will soon find out . Thanks for your help

I like those 17s and want to keep my car with estate capabilities Also if any one needs 225 50 17 tyres those new maxxis are for sale

New tyres I have taken off cos they didnt fit , I got different front witch I got part worns for £10 just to check if they will fit and they did , so now when replacing I will go 215 45 front and rear .

So they are 17" 7.5J ET28 on Maxxis 225 50 tyres But I manage to make them fit better , changed front tyres to 215 45 and rear is 225 45 and it fits quite nice now If some one will want to change the ET to bigger number , contact this guys http://www.tttoolsltd.co.uk/ they where really helpful and said that for cutting up to 7mm they will charge about £35 per wheel if more 10-15mm it will be about £120 per wheel as they will need to machine some bits to make them secure . I was wondering to do that but they where quite far and when I read abut it most of people was against it . Now just need to clean my car ....

O... forgot to mention that the springs are 5mm longer then standard as I wanted extra height .

Mine is 2011 and had the same , just replace them when ready

Have you done work yourself ? when I did mine before work it was very soft , after replacing springs and absorbers its nice and stiff Look it up in auto parts and compere estate to hatch they should be different load but size will be same I would guess

THanks , I got another set of wheels with ET56 I hope the 225 50 will fit nicely without rubbing

does your front wheel stick out from arches ? I made a mistake and fitted a ET28 and they stick out .... 225 50 17 maxxis tyres

what size wheels and tyres on yours ?

I know that probably what will happen but im trying to keep them , talking to a guy who maybe can change et for me , not sure if he can machine that much of but worth a shot . Do you know any other deeper wheels what could fit ? Im looking every where and there is nothing ....

So knowing that what are my options now , I like this rims and cant return tyres .... any ideas ?

never mind , I googled it ..... didnt grow up in UK so didnt know

whos Mr Plod ?

Hello So I have fitted those audi wheels ( and new tyres ) without checking if they will fit correctly , I know DumbDumb , Could please advise me if that will fail MOT Thanks

Hello So I had that conversation with few people now and was wondering whats your opinions . Deciding of getting a new car would you go newer or older . Car this days are not the same as they where few year back , home maintenance and other things are taken from us users . So whats your opinion and why please . I'll start my 2007 astra broke down and decided to take a loan and get a 2011 octavia model thinking newer= better , now Im noticing some problems , canbus , dpf , car electronic ETC , so im not sure if I made the right decision , love how it drives and looks in and out , but thats not all what it counts in owning a car . Let see what you think . Thanks

Good points Kev , I had diesels all my live to , torque and mpg related decisions , Maybe my next one will be petrol to hmmm

I have 2011 1.6 tdi Octy estate remapped to 130 BHP and 350 Nm , and I love how it drives , didnt have any problem with DPF , you can clean those things so its not that big of a problem . Averaging 45 mpg city and over 50 motorways .
