Dont see any water there, on looking closely at the pic the exhaust joint looks quite bad, (see pic) should I be concerned? Thanks

Took it to skoda this morning they just drilled a hole through the exhaust 'to let the excess moisture out' (see attached pic) does that make any sense?

Thanks for that. Any idea if it would be covered under the warranty? Should I be concerned having this issue on a 4 yr old low mileage car bought from a main dealer?

Yes it is a skoda warranty.. taken it to my nearest dealership and they couldn't find an issue so when it next made the noise I drove back and showed the mechanic but when it went back in to the workshop again they couldn't find anything arrrghh

This is the strange thing.. I had before this an 06 reg 1.6fsi petrol Octavia 5 gear manual and used to get better mpg in town and motorway...

Can anyone advise what this noise could be from (listen in attached video) it does it intermittently on my 16 reg Octavia 1.4tsi, I've taken it to the dealer under warranty but they cant find any issue.. it's doing my head it.. any advice would be appreciated VID-20200830-WA0010.mp4

Wow that's incredible, I notice it says average speed 30mph so what type of journey did you get this mpg?

I always turn off stop/ start as soon as but seems to work ok when I leave it on, I will try do a run on an A road and see what happens. Thanks for that

Just filled up today full (45 litres) said on screen my average has been 35mpg since last full tank which gave me 350 miles but that was half motorway/ A roads and half in town surely it should be higher then that☹

It's a 2016 model, supposedly been well maintained, I fill up full from the light coming on is around 48 litres

Thanks for the reply. I'm driving around Manchester, most driving is short journeys a lot of stop start, usually I fill up when orange light comes on and then reset the odometer and by next time light comes on it's only around 260 miles, I notice quite often the gears dont change till slightly over 2000rpm dont know if that's normal or not but engine sometimes sounds like it's over revving. Most of the times I'm alone in the car and hardly use the AC so cant really understand the poor consumption. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if its normal to get around 260 from a full tank in town driving on my 1.4tsi 150ps dsg? Seems to be very poor economy.. I'm not a heavy driver
