Have changed the coolant temp sensor and still no change. Anyone had similar issues?

Thanks for the reply , I did think the coolant temp sensor could be a symptom but was put off the idea from a couple of mechanics. Do you know whereabouts this is located?

I can not solve the issue I'm having on my 2010 mk skoda octavia vrs. Engine code CCZA. When starting the car from cold I have a bad missfire and really rough idle where the car will cut out if I don't get it moving quickly. Once the car is warm its fine. I have so far had spark plugs and ignition coils changed due to engine codes pointing at missfire in cylinder 3 and 4. This made no difference, there's no vacuum leaks pcv has been checked and is fine. I then thought it might be carbon build up on intake due to short journeys I make so had the inlet walnut shell blasted and all four injectors were changed but still no help. The only other thing I have noticed is an oil build up on top of the gear box but don't know if this is connected. I am almost ready to give up and get rid of the car which is a shame as it only has 66000 miles on and has been looked after. Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

I have a octavia vrs 2010 plate and contacted my local specialist to get a quote for a cam belt change. The car has done 53000 miles so thought it would best to get done sooner rather than later. The guy at the garage reckons it has a chain so no need to get done but how do I know for sure,? It is the TSI engine

Sorry it's a 2010 saloon

I am struggling to source a replacement window seal for the rear drivers side window on a mk2 octavia vrs. Had anyone got the part number or know of somewhere to get one from?

So was having a little look around engine and trying to feel for any air leaked and found this pipe that looks to be broken off somewhere. Any ideas?

Ok would I be able to see possible crack without removing bits? I have also noticed driving it back from work that if I start the car and drive without trying to put my foot down too hard it drives fine and then the turbo will kick in as soon as I try to overtake. And as long as I don’t push it I would be able to get the turbo going again but only probably once more and then that’s it, on the other hand if I floor it straight away the turbo will carry on into 3rd and then literally run out of boost and there is a noticeable reduction in speed. It definitely doesn’t go into limp mode because I can get the car up to a good speed

Thanks for the reply, when you say the car will go into limp mode I’m not sure it totally does because I still have a reasonable amount of power just no boost when I had a problem on my Audi it went into limp mode and you knew it was in limp mode because there was a considerable speed reduction. How do I check the actuator?( which I guess is the waste gate actuator?)

Did an experiment this morning because when first switching on the car the turbo will kick in a few times then doesn’t, so today I pulled over after noticing turbo not kicking in and turned engine off. After about 20 seconds I turned it back on and drove on and the turbo worked again??!!!

Today I have noticed that when first driving the car when it has sat for a number of hours the turbo works fine but after driving the car for say 5 minutes it doesn't seem to kick in the same

Hi, I have recently purchased a 2010 Octavia vrs 2.0T and have noticed that when putting my foot down in third the turbo kicks in but quickly seems to turn off as if it runs out of power . I find it strange as my last car a Audi A4 1.8T didn’t do this. Also a friend of mine has suggested having the sump and pick up pipe removed and cleaned due to them being susceptible of clogging up. The car has 48000 miles with full Skoda service history. Is this a good idea?
