Thanks all, seems a common Skoda issue then. Mine has been frozen solid for the last 48hrs. I've been climbing in and out of the passenger seat. Hopefully once it gets milder I can get it all dry and WD40 it and then perhaps get it greased this summer.

Thank you for that WRW. Strangely enough someone at work with a Skoda Fabia said it happens on her car too and some hot water usually defreezes it too so I'll try that (or just remember to get in on passenger side and climb over but I'll forget and be left with a door open lol). I'll get a small heat gun ordered off Amazon too. Thanks again

Hi all. Please could someone help. If it's been freezing overnight and I have to pull the drivers door open, I then can't get the door lock to catch back on the A pillar again. Door closes, but no lock. Tried lots of WD40 (and anti freeze), flicked the lock about and eventually it un-sticks itself and works again but it's becoming a real pain. It only seems to be an issue when it's freezing cold. Any longer term solutions please? Thank you.

Hi MicMac. Without going into detail. Usually carry on with limp mode, going up slight hill, hovering around 2000rpm, put your foot down, clunk limp mode. Pull over, turn on off again, back to normal. Did the Mr Muscle turbo clean, worked a treat, but a few months later it's just started hicuping or missing a beat just around same rpm again like it's almost trying to go back into limp but then pulls out of it again. Not doing Mr Muscle again. Seen some reconditioned turbos on eBay around £240 and thought whilst the engine is in bits how much extra effort would be required by the garage to replace the turbo, also really don't want to spend twice with labour pulling the engine in bits again or have the turbo brake on me after I've spent money on the timing belt and DMF.

Hi all. I own a 2009 2.0tdi with 130,000 miles. The DMF is on its way out and after a turbo Mr Muscle clean which did help a lot I'm still noticing it trying it's best to go into limp mode. Whilst the car is in bits for its DMF is it worth replacing the turbo at the same time with a reconditioned unit. Can anyone advise on price for turbo replacement? If I decide to do this and buy one from Fleebay are there any part numbers I should be looking out for so the turbo is a compatable fit. Thanks all.
