Believe it or not JR I was watching a vid on youtube on the removal and cleaning of that valve this aft I've only had the vehicle since August, so I don't know if it's had the emissions fix. I've not noticed the engine shake when it's switched off, but I have sometimes heard a loud noise that goes on for some time after the engine is switched off - bit like a fan running, really quite noisy. Fuel economy is regularly in the high 50s, and I've had 70 out of it on a motorway drive (diesel). I'll take a look at your post, and any others I can find. Thanks for that

Well that was fun - not. Took the car into Halfords this morning to do a diagnostic. They came up with two faults! U111300 and P012100. That's about all they gave me apart from some scribble on the job sheet that I can't read. They really didn't appear to have a clue what they were talking about, or were just useless at explaining it. And quoted me £336 to fix whatever the fault is (the previous garage quoted £175 for a new throttle pedal). And still the car drives perfectly. I wouldn't know there was an alleged fault if it wasn't for the light on the dash. Going backwards here

None near me unfortunately 😊

Yep, their autocentres. Closed today but I'll take it in tomorrow. Thanks for that 😊👍

Independent garage with a good rep by all accounts. Do Halfords have the kit to do this kind of stuff? I wasn't aware of that.

Hi guys I have a 2011 Octavia estate 2.0 TDI. Recently my engine management light came on and when I took it in I was told that the system is detecting a bad throttle sensor - £175, including labour, to replace. The car however seems to be driving fine; acceleration normal, idle normal and kick down working fine. If it wasn't for the warning light on my dash I wouldn't know I had a problem. Is it possible for the management system to detect a fault where none exists? Thanks Doug
