Had 08 1.9tdi Octavia myself great car found seat a little low with aching knee joints after long drive. Changed to 12 Yeti 1.6tdi Dec 18 for higher posture. EGR replaced 2mts after buying it done on Skoda recall upgraded software only done short while. Sold my Octavia to my Niece who was driving a dangerous heap of junk she paid me weekly until she had car paid off and is delighted with it. Being a former Mechanic Auto electrician car was good buy. Just changed glowplug tonight using a timber dowel with hole drilled in it to thread new plug back in and used 1/4 drive long socket and ratchet to remove it without danger of over doing the torque on removal. Have Foxwell unit to clear codes up to 2012 yet does not reset service I use settings reset twice reset on service interval. Have not worked as Mechanic since 83 but I get interested in something when it's broke fix it and lose interest except to keep it going. Work as School Caretaker for 33yrs.
