Right. Thanks for your advice!

Right. Is a clutch pack the same as a clutch kit/set? That's what came up when I googled replacement clutch pack. Seems to be a wide range in pricing as well eg on this website (85e-460e), so presumably not all one and the same thing. https://www.mister-auto.ie/gv/clutch-kit/skoda/octavia/33245/ If I took the car to a mechanic for a once-over due to my very(!) limited knowledge, would they be able to tell if it needed a replacement clutch pack? Is that a straightforward thing to look for do you know?

Was the 34H5 recall on all Octavias from 2013 or just the mk3 Octavias and not the mk2 ones? I'm looking at a mk2.

Hi gaz it's mk2. Does that mean it has dq200 clutch? I looked on Google but could find no answers.

Hi all, new here. I signed up as I'm pondering buying a 2013 1.2 automatic (100k miles/150km) over here in Ireland. I've seen a couple of things online about dsg issues (I think that's the correct term for the automatic gearbox in this model of Skoda?) and wondered if there's any experiences you could share that might clarify whether I should steer clear of them in this vintage or whether it looks like a pretty reliable prospect. I'm not very knowledgeable about engines really, though I can just about manage an oil change 😐 Thanks!
