Hi all, hope your well. Recently purchased this fabia vrs. Changed all discs and pads and fluid. Blead with pressure bleeder but still got spongy pedal. I believe I need to bleed abs. My vcds doesn't give me basic setting option to do this unlike on my audi a3 8p. What other scanners or apps can perform this task? Appreciate any help guys.

Well she's no slouch the old girl, not sure if it's been mapped, I guess I'd need to book it in at a tuning firm to confirm this, shouldn't imagined thatll be cheap. I have witnessed a completed regen and afterwards was fine for a while just seems to get into a fiddle a little to often for my liking. I have seen the actual mass increase slightly but soon clears back to 0. What's best way to tell if remap has been done, can vcds see this? Appreciate everyone's input

Tbf I can swallow 30 quid every few months on oil and filter just want to know why I won't complete a regen. This is clearly what's causing oil dilution. I would remove the dpf but that's illegal is it not? I'd also like to get to the bottom of it before we sell it on. Cheers

Totally agree, any ideas?

Hi thanks for reply. As said previous, some short journeys during the week that realy can't be helped but always a good run at weekends. I use the ancel VD700 tool, rrafings are 30ml oil ash, 17.70 particle filter carbon mass (spec) 0.00 particle filter carbon mass (act). Is the Ash content to high at 30ml? I noticed the oil level rising a few months after buying the car, eventually killed a turbo! Since then I've been closely monitoring the oil level and can confirm it has risen again several times. Its obviously diesel diluting the oil. Sometimes I removed 2 litres and top up according, oil and filter changed every 3-4 months. I've been doing extended drives on motorway whilst scan tool connected, exhaust temps get to around 450, isn't this hot enough to regen. Tried holding in 5th to keep temps up. After a good hours run at motorway speeds, get home, still at high idle trying to regen. Scan tool shows no regen was completed as distance traveled since regen still increasing. All the best

Yes it's trying to regen all the time for some reason. I have a scan tool which says its not blocked according to the readings. I just don't think the dpf is getting hot enough to finish the job. I'm going to try JLM dpf cleaner as a last resort, if that don't help il take it off to clean it.

Tbf you wouldn't think there were any kind cylinder compression issues due to the way it starts and runs. I know these engines are pretty high compression in that they dont realy need glow plugs. Kinda hoping my frequent oil changes are dampening the bore wash. She's @ 156k aswel. Seems to be regenerating alot, no dpf warning light, wish there was an app compatible with these cega engines, my ancel diagnostic tool isnt great.

Thanks for the reply mate. I think I'm going to pull them this weekend, to check if there any cracks on the injector bodies. I will replace the copper seals and rubber o rings as I have them but I can't see those being the culprit. Is it even possible for diesel to pass up the Injectors into the top end?

Hi guy's. Has anyone had to replace there injectors seals on cr engines. Mines a cega. Been clutching at straws regarding oil dilution. I'm not convinced it's all dpf related. Could the Injector seals be passing and sending diesel UP into the head diluting the oil? If it was purely diesel leaking down the bores into the sump surely my engine would be toast and crank case pressure through the roof. I'm about to drive this car into a quarry as its driving me insane!!! Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've submitted a couple other dpf/oil dilution topic but not much interest unfortunately. All the best.

Mate did you not notice the smell of diesel in your oil at all? I have this issue on my vrs it's a joke!!! I have dpf still in place. Wish I'd never bought the poxy thing. Although it's a lovely car to drive.

Hi all, last time I post about this POS! We are still having rising oil level on our octy vrs cr. Having to change oil literally every couple months due to oil dilution. Car runs perfect and goes realy well, no rough running issues smoke or anything. A few short trips during the week but always gets a good hours blast on the motorway at weekends. Tried all the additives available, seems like it's regenerating constantly! I haven't removed any injectors yet as I feel there's no need due to how it runs. Never ever seen a dpf warning light either! Enough is enough now want a petrol again after nearly 2 years of this . If anyone can help with any advise just one last time before I part with it. All the best chap's.

Hi its definitely a common rail engine. I plan on removing the injectors next to see if any seals are passing up into the rocker. I didn't think the cr's had a tandem pump?? Many thanks for the reply bud.

Hi guy's hope all well pretty much ever since purchasing my mk2 vrs cr I've had oil dilution with fuel and rising levels due to this. I know this is meant to be due to either failed regens or regular short journeys. Yes my Mrs does do some short journeys during the week to work but she does get a proper blast at weekends to hopefully clear out the dpf. I've had zero warnings on dash reg the dpf or any poor performance issues indicating a blockage. Car drives fantastically. Has anyone else had similar issues with rising oil levels. We went on a 200 mile round trip and level rose about 1.5-2mm. Car has 152k miles but still sounds like new. Somehow the fuel is ending up in the sump assumingly passing the rings?? Any suggestions?? I'm changing oil every couple months!!

OK thanks bud il try that in the morning, apparently the flashing brake light and abs lights could be a failed abs pump/module. Fml! Lol

Hi again. Thought I'd do some digging, went and disconnected the battery to check some fuses for 5 mins. Reconnected battery, still got the 3 beeps, flashing brake light, abs and tc lights but now I've got steering wheel warning light and the tyre pressure warning light. What on earth is going on? This car has been amazing the last 6 months, such a shame although its seems to drive fine still.

Hi guy's back again. Poxy skoda!!! Just replaced the turbo on my vrs. Went for a drive, all good. On the way back a randomly hear 3 loud beeps, abs and traction lights come on and brake exclamation Mark flashing constant. Done I quick bit of research and found that it could be low brake fluid. Checked fluid level, just under max so all good. Can't see any leaks what's so ever, I've read some posts regarding this issue but they haven't realy helped my situation unfortunately. I realy don't get it!!! Can anyone shed any light? My car is a 58 plate vrs cr diesel. Cheers guys

Hi all. Hope your safe and well. Killed the turbo on my octavia this evening :( was on borrowed time, had that siren noise. I have 58 plate cr model with the kkk 03L253019M turbo. Seems a tricky one to track down? Are any other turbos compatible with this model. It's the CEGA engine. Hope someone can help, would like this back on the road ASAP as she's using my car now!!!! Lol. All the best guy's

Hey bud do you know the part numbers or the actual size of those turbo o rings, I've ordered the intercooler ones just not sure about the others. All the best pal.

Thanks for the reply guys, I've purchased the fitting kit from bass junkies, got a cheap pioneer bt unit to use for now, just want to connect my phone!!! Lol

Hi all. I want to change the standard stream mp3 unit in my mk2 vrs due to its lack of Bluetooth and dab functions. Does anyone know what specific adaptor kit I need? I've seen some online but they include the multifunction steering wheel adaptor aswel which I don't need. Also if I change the unit will it retain the parking sensor beeps? Not fussed about the pacman style display just want the beeps for the Mrs. The kit ive seen is the ctksk02, are there any other cheaper ones? Cheers guys stay safe and well.

I should av done that when I had em out earlier 🙉

Hi all. Does anyone have the part numbers for the 2 o rings for the intercooler boost hoses. Found mine to be leaking oil today. Removed them and applied o lube grease but not holding my breath they'll seal. Thanks in advance :-)

Hey bud, any joy with your motor? Did you change your intercooler? I can't find anything on mine I'm pretty stumped, pipework all seems fine. Haven't done a boost leak check yet though but I'm sure intercooler OK. No performance loss at all. It seems to only do it when engine warm. I'm sure it's related to air intake as you can hear turbo in sync with the noise. It's when im plodding along I get a sort of constant whiring/whooshy noise which does sound a bit like a worn bearing. The sound is coming from the passenger side (UK) I was quietly capping myself it could be the dsg box making the noise but I'm sure it's air intake. Checked turbo impeller again, very slight thrust play. Feels fine imo. It's realy annoying me this bloody noise! Lol

Nice one dude il have a route around my charge pipes and intercooler def sounds like a leak somewhere. Had quite a bit of oil under the intake manifold on the intake boost pipe which Ive cleaned up when doing a recent oil change.
