Hi there. I'm the new proud owner of a black beauty: Skoda Octavia FL Combi 1.8 TSI + LPG. And while the engine refrains itself from eating any oil and is rather silent while under operating temperature (80 Celsius or higher), it does have a weird temper while cold. I get misfires on cylinder 1 (P0131 I think) and today I got a bonus round of errors. Have you ever seen something similar? Because I didn't in any of my previous cars. Actually, other than changing the spark plugs with NGK ones (designed for LPG), I also went to Skoda and did a compression test, it got 11 bar on 3 of the cylinders and 10 bar on the 4th one. So it shouldn't be a compression issue. I really suspect a culprit on the electrical side, being either the battery or some gremlin in the wires. What do you think? Oh, and thank you if you take the time to answer to this post. :)
