Yeah normally me neither but it’s all a mad rush to get to the nearest roundabout, during a busy period I sort of just got used to turning the car on, wait a few seconds then go. if it’s the EA211 then it’s the same design. its just not normally a sound I heard from any other cars with this kit but it’s probably just how it’s all designed

It's probably just a characteristic of these engines. If I can simply wait several seconds for the cold start to finish then I don't mind. My old car used to have like a 2 minute cold start and I wasn't gonna wait that long while traffic builds up on the estate haha. if the car is warm or even after the cold start is done, at 1100 RPM I get hardly any sound but on cold start it's very in your face. No underground carpark and everything else is standard. Yeah I agree it's just a consequence but these engines are fairly common and I've seen a lot modifying them but no complaints about aftermarket induction kits, maybe people like the sound it makes on a cold start, idk

Tough crowd on the Octavia groups eh haha. It for some reason lasts longer when I drive away so I'm wooshing away out of the car park like I have a broken car, I almost put the factory box back on or even modified it. The problem isn't how loud it is in general, it's how unecessarily and obnoxiously loud it is when I'm simply driving out of the car park with feather like pressure on the throttle at like 10 mph. Hard acceleration is fine as that's what I want it for (car always gets up to temp before this if I ever fancy doing it).

I like tasteful modifications so when the induction sounds like it does on a cold start, it definitely isn't for me haha. I'm not the usual hooner making a load of noise, just like a bit of something to enjoy the car a bit more

No it isn't right but it's awful I'm not sure how people live with it. I've checked all the connections. No MAF sensor, it was simply remove some piping, install silicone and filter and done. I thought a completely different type of cone would change it but didn't I won't lie, before I made this post I didn't realise how short the cold start was, seems to only last like 15-20 seconds so I will just wait before driving off instead of messing about disabling it. Not sure how long it will be in the winter.

I have a EA211 1.4 TSI 150 ACT in my car although not an Octavia. I recently fitted an induction kit and on cold start it sounds absolutely ridiculous, really loud sucking noise at high idle and when simply driving out of a parking spot and driving out of the carpark it constantly wooshes like I've just done a pull on full boost, even though I'm hardly using throttle and low revs. It's embarrassing and I constantly get weird looks from colleagues lol. This only happens if it's a cold start though, if the car was used up to a few hours before me leaving work it's perfectly quiet as it should be, so can I simply disable the cold start procedure? I know some people get this done on some performance cars but I'm not sure if I'd get issues with this engine. And if someone can tell me how to do this using the Car Scanner ELM app that would be great. Edit: It's a Forge open foam cone filter and I've tried using a pleated RAMAIR one and it made 0 difference to the sound Thanks

Ah okay, then it could probably be the pump on the way out but can't guarantee as I've never had the issue

Has the battery been changed recently? Not sure if it's the exact same problem but for me it was when I turned my car on I'd have no power steering at all and it was the battery. Does it go a bit stiffer when driving, do you lose all power steering completely when driving or is the issue only when you start the car up?

Well I care hence why I’m asking. Don’t like the standard bulbs they’re awful

Ok not after stupidly bright ones. I had some halfords ones in my Fabia that were perfect. The current ones in my Ibiza are like candles

Posting on here as I’m at my wits end and the Seat clubs aren’t much helot. I’m trying to get some LED bulbs in my 2016 Ibiza. I’ve tried 3 different Canbus sets from HIDsDirect and none of them work and they’re confused too I’ve attached a picture of what my light units look like and the error that I get (02564 trailer left lamp) which doesn’t make sense I’d happily live with the error on my dash but the problem is the car turns the bulbs off when the error comes up so I have no choice.

Type in autotrader used car index and there’s your graph. The graph represents an average price of used cars The red and blue lines I drew are as I said, resistance and support lines. If you don’t understand that then I can’t possibly explain on here, as I mentioned if people know trading/forex/crypto then those people would understand what those lines represent. But basically, the price went up as high as it did, came down slightly, went back up but no more than before, making that red resistance line more true (a double top sort of thing, google it) As I said at the end, I don’t know WHEN it will happen, so the green line, which I could only draw on that bit of room at the end of the graph, is the prediction of what could happen in 3 months, 6 months maybe over a year. And no that isn’t an obvious prediction as everything that depreciates goes down eventually, but not to the extend that I think it will and hopefully within the next year

I also enquired about 0% finance with stoneacre but decided against as you need 50% deposit and the obvious thing of the prices being a few thousand over

That as well, way too many bills that are too expensive for people to be justifying the prices they are now. I’m in a position where I didn’t buy a car expensive enough to make profit on now so it’s not like I’m getting over priced money for my car to put towards an over priced car. Instead the deposit will have to be out of my own pocket. There will be a lot of other people in this situation that may get something that will hardly lose value, thus reducing demand for those higher priced used cars

In terms of stock being kept hidden away, I’m not sure that will make that much of a difference as before covid, we had a similar number of adverts on Autotrader. Yes there are hundreds, thousands of cars been kept to control the supply but if the supply is the same as before covid I can’t see why that would be a big factor
