Thanks so much, this is perfect!

Thanks for your reply, doesn't appear to be anything in the coolant, but sounds expensive regardless. The only reason it didn't go to the dealership is that the nearest one to me is about half an hours drive away, and I wasn't sure if it would make it, as it kept going into limp mode, and I don't know enough to know if it was safe to keep driving. Gonna have to bite the bullet though. Thanks again 🙂

Just for info, this is a picture of the codes found during the diagnostics

Ok, totally newbie here, and just after some advice. My 65 reg Octavia started burning oil, leaving clouds of blueish smoke behind me, then the engine light came on, it was overdue for a service anyway, so took it to a local garage (not skoda specialists) Diagnostics came up with a whole range of codes, but the main one was the egt sensor 3, this was replaced, and topped up with oil, A DPF regeneration was done but on the road test, it was still smoking and used almost 4 litres of oil, the replaced sensor was also burnt out. The garage have basically said that it's looking like a new engine and turbo, but does anyone have any ideas before I take it in as I really don't want to be ripped off. Be gentle, I'm not the most technical of people! 🤣
