What happened to Lofty
I cannot thank him as he seems rto have disappeared off the forum.
Anyway I had low pressure boost on my 110 ASV Octy 1 (see my thread)
So this is not just for limp mode and Overboost.
I never had a single light come on nor went into limp mode - I just has no power and on Scottish hills it sucked.
Motorway not so bad - could get up to speed but MPG only around 42-45mpg.
Now all the vacuum lines are replaced, the wiring checked, the MAF , MAP and intercooler pressure sensor cleaned and a couple of tiny holes in intercooler were epoxyed.
After one Mr Muscle treatment things seemed a wee bit better.
Second treatment the next day and we heard the tubo whine ...it has been silent and dead as a dodo since i got the car 6 months ago.
Today Mr Muscle three and we have lift off!!
Turbo spooliNg and actuator moving as it should.
Then my mechanic installed an 130 BPH ECU that I got for £100 and now I have a fab car.
Anyone in need of a hardworking , thouroughly decent mobile mechanic in or around Ayrshire , drop me a line- I told him about MR Muscle and he was willing to try and do the rest of the work.
I am 100% certain that a garage would have charged £1000 plus to install anew turbo and that would be without the cleaning of the other componenet and finding the tiny holes in the intercooler.
I can now return the new oem trubo I bought (a Garrett from Catsand Carbs) for £225
I will report back on the mpg next week once i have clocked some miles avec turbo

Anyone know what happened to Lofty79?
Want to thank him for his Mr Muscle thread.
So despote this being an underboost, the actuator was stiff and there was a lot of carbon.
brian spent upwards of 10 hrs changing all the vacuum lines , cleaning MAF, MAp and intercooler pressure sensor.
There were a couple of holes (tiny ) in the intercooler [pipe now epoxyed.
N75 ok.
Did Mr Muscle once and the turbo whined which is forst sign of life from it since I bought the car.
Today Mr muscle again and BINGO we have power!
BOOST
Then Brian installed a 130bph ECU that had been in a freinds old ASV octavia and now it all seems to be working fine.
Many thanks to all who chipped in and I am off to add to Loftys old Mr Muscle thread
First time I have had a properly working vehicle since i bought it!
-
EGR almost totally blocked!!
-
Getting somewhere....
-
battery new
alternator changed and good
N75 seems ok but wait there is a control for that N75?- photo of wher please?
I guess Brian wanted to know the psi (or inHg for each component so he could put the mikki on and not have to change every single bloody pipe
-
here is the report from yesterday- gobbldygook to me and is giving me palpitations! I suppose that it is the
17964 code which on googling is
17964/P1556 - Charge Pressure Control: Negative Deviation- Boost Pressure too Low.
- Hoses/Pipes incorrect connected, disconnected or leaking.
- Charger Pressure Control defective. VNT (variable nozzle turbo): nozzles stuck.
- Solenoid Valve for Boost Pressure Control (N75) defective.
N75 just changed but couldstill be faulty . Still looking for any hoses or pipes that are an issue -most have been changed now and Mr Muscle being tried asap

yes we had a VW diagnosis guy yesterday and it threw up the same fault code as on the OBD.
I was told it said 'low boost pressure' - do you need an exact code number?
-
no smoking black or otherwise
-
Having trouble - turbo not kicking in.
Low boost pressure is the code.
Works fine (seemingly or better ) when hardwired turbo through Mitty Vac.
My mechanic has never worked on this engine and he is leaning towards it not being the turbo itself although it could be just sticky vanes so he has asked me to ask a few questions.
1) Is the pressure for the vacuum pump meant to be 15-21psi? This is what he gets.
2) can anyone tell us the vacuum operating pressures for the EGR, the N75 valve and the turbo itself as Brian the mechanic cannot find that info?
3) can anyone show us a photo from the engine bay/ bulkhead of how it all connects just incase someone has been under there previously and done something wrong?
He has hardwired the turbo to his Mitti Vac and driven and it all works fine .
He is googling Mr Muscle tomorrow but not convinced it is sticky vanes.
I got a new Garret turbo for £250 for him to put in but he does not want to spend all that time if the current turbo is ok and it is a pipe or hose or connection or something simples
many many thanks in advance
-
will do.
Hopefully this latewrnator will work as it is a ****** getting them out - werdly going back in was easy. This has more do do with my veg oil set up than Skoda design.
Next week replacing turbo- decided on a new one with warranty rather than a used one . £240 before paying for it to be fitted. Sigh.
-
Looks ok to me.
old one not off yet but photo of the two ends side by side and photo of bioth ends of the 'new ' one
-
Yes it does go under battery but also as you said comes up to the battery terminal. Mechanic here now. I got in the end an exact copy of the cable from a Seat Leon mk1 for £20. Took me days to figure out what other cars had that cable as new they are £60-80.
By any chance do you know what the 3 plugs are for? One must be for air conditioning but all of the diagrams I found have them numbered as 7,8,9 and 11 but no corresponding ledger
-
ok thanks. i will show all this to my mechanic when he changes the alternator next week
-
not unless it goes under then comes up again
I have put photo of me pointing to where I think you mean
I also took a photo of where it disappears under the battery (finger on it)
There are loads much cheaper of similar harnesses with same OEM number save for the last 2 letters but unless it is a 1.9td ASV or AHF with airconditioner I do not think it will be a swap
-
no signs of melting but the battery end of this cable is under the battery not on the top bit
-
Abovem y paygrade--my mechanic who comes to the house said it was showing high resistence..
I changed the alternator to a reconditioned one and battery the week prior to that.
The reconditioned alternator did not work so i got a refund . It was a 14v 120amp and fit fine but the oem part is a 90amp so now i got a 14v 90amp.
would the too high alternator cause an issue and maybe there is no problem at all with the cable.
he put his multimeter on the alternator and the cable
-
-
that cable has plugs going off of it other wise I would - unless you think that the smaller wires with plugs for ac etc are completely seperate and can be added back in?
-
£75 BEFOR ETAX AND SHIPPING FOR A CABLE FROM ALTERNATOR TO BATTERY??
And my turbo justwent. waaahh
Anyone know whether other cars such as the 1.9 tdi audi or vw on similar engine will have the same cable?
code is so similar
mine is 1J0971349FQ
I really don t want to scrap the car but its been adding up
Anyone got one of these cables from a mk1 1.9tdi ASV or AHF engine
TIA

The estate and the hatch are different and it has to be the hatch..
I have been looking ages- everywhere.
Skoda no longer have them
a determined dog will get through any of the 'universal' fits that exist for the mk1 hatch
I finally found a Travall one which may come up on ebay gumtree etc
Travall themselves sell 2 more universal ones - a tubular and a mesh but told me that although the mesh is stronger than the tubular , a determined dog like mine will be able tyo push through as , like all universal ones, it attaches via headrests only.
They directed me to a specific one TDG0338 - reduced as of today from £105 to £70.
Still more than I wanted to pay for a bit of metal
It fits the space and attaches much better to the actual car.
I am just off the phone again to Travall and they confirm they are phasing it out and only have 13 left in stock.
Mind you they also said the last one they sold was in January 2020.
If you are very lucky and live near to Boot buddy who do see through perspex , they will cut one especially for you if you drive there .They also have none for the MK1. No extra cost for the personalised cutting

are there any other dog guards that will fit the mk1 hatch Octavia.
or do i have to stick with ones specifically for the pre2004 hatch?
Some of the others that fit more recent models or even the Fabia, look remarkably similar.
please help

Has anyone got a dog guard for an octavia mk1 2002 hatch.
Any other guards that fit it?
WEithout having gaps at the side or a pathetic weak wobbly fit? thanks in advance

yeah I didnt even have a whistle for 9 months. nada Zip Zilch.
the whistle was after Mr Muscle number one and i knew that meant it was getting better.
I do not understand your Last sentence - what do you mean relatively well? And my brothers newer VW Golf DSG 2016 at 181bhp is certainly more of a puller but yeah i LOVE MY SKODA MK1 and plan on keeping it on the road as long as possible as the veg oil conversion/ twin tank wasnt a simple process and I reckon this is the last of the engines really that will do it without spending a packet converting a PD
