You might think that, but mine (1.9 TDi110) has done about 70_000 miles in my ownership with a "high clutch", and no comments about same from service or repair at garages.

Both badly fouled IMO.

Well one of them ISTR the RH one. The other is the low speed fan, which should start when ever you turn the AC on (or put Climatronic in Auto or Defrost (in Auto, press button with illustration like HRW on AC control panel, which should switch heat to full, interior fan to full and direct air flow to open fascia vents)). Actually, speaking of fascia vents you get best results by leaving all 4 cheesegraters open, and Climate on Auto at preferred temperature and outside air rather than recirculate all the time.

OTOH it is 4 years old, and I'd certainly consider that as lifetime for the spark plugs. How much is 1 (one) coil pack against the trade price of a working car?

Not any old Firenza but one of the 204 (two hundred and four) "High Performance" (aka droopsnoot) cars made.

No idea beyond talking to an automotive air con specialist and not a Skoda main stealer!

I didn't know the name, but I've seen advertising pictures on YouTube.

I think that @Busman104 would like the pratnav to display "now approaching Anytown" rather than waiting until you arrive there and then display "now approaching School Lane" without mentioning Anytown.

And are all 4 tyres actually the same size? The same size, not just the same width!

And are all 4 tyres actually the same size?

Talk to some local to you taxi drivers about a DPFectomy.

Again "Ask at a reputable indy garage near you."

Which make me thing of a dying alternator and idle stabilisation control. Ask at a reputable indy garage near you.

ISTR this thing called "Wrecks It".

I don't know what's wrong (with the car), but strongly suspect broken wires in the driver's door bellows.

AKA "BSOD" (Blue Screen Of Death). Usually these are the responsibility of Microsoft Windows (aka Mickeyshaft Windoze) and not of the hardware manufacturer. The same thing applies to most hovercraft impressions.

Octavia 1 (aka A4) Elegance or L&K turbodiesels, some vRS Estates...

Bayerische Mist Wagon 0.5 Series?

It might be leaks past those rubbish spring clips. Maybe try replacing them with proper Terry Jubilee clips?

As an alternative suggestion, you could do a DPFectony which basically consists of removing the internals of the DPF whilst retaining the chamber.

@paulkennedy @Radiogaga Or a lightly burnt connector on the dip switch.

Well, it would be, wouldn't it? I mean the lock nut has to be unlocked in order to adjust the trackrod length,

So the door drains are blocked. Clear them. Dead simples.

Buy a multimeter Put it into continuity check mode Connect the probes to the points you wish to check continuity between Read the good/bad continuity from the VDU. Simples.

Have a close look there, and around the cam cover, for loose bolt(s). I've fixed several oil leaks (not just on my car) by tightening up loose bolts.
