Brilliant. Thanks a million. Yes it's the bolts that attach the shock to the body of the car at the top. Mine are seized. I managed to cut the head off 1 of them with a small grinder but can't reach the other with the grinder. Might have to drill it out.

Can anyone tell me the size/spec of the top bolts on rear shock absorbers please? Mk1 Octavia 1.9 TDI. Thanks

But the car is fine when the engine is cold.

I have 2004 mk1 Skoda Octavia 1.4 petrol. It is fine driving but won't hold revs above around 1700 when idle. This only happens when the engine is hot. This prevents it being tested for emmissions and has failed the test. The car has had new: Crank sensor Cam sensor Upstream lambda sensor Downstream lambda sensor Knock sensor PCV valve EGR & throttle gaskets Spark plugs Fuel filter Air filter Oil filter Oil Second hand: Fuel rail and injectors EGR valve Throttle . Injectors EGR valve and throttle have been cleaned. Throttle position has been reset. No codes. Anyone got any idea how to sort this out? Any help would be much appreciated.
