Octigo

For what it's worth, had my 18yo Octavia vRS from new, and it's always done that. Was considered normal back then too apparently! VAG do have a bit of a name for dumping noxious substances into the atmosphere.

Hi all, new on here. My '06 vRS estate is now only used for occasional longer trips following purchase of a Citigo. I'm concerned about battery depletion and would like to leave the battery on permanent trickle charge as I do with my motorcycle. - Can anyone recommend the most suitable trickle charger for this type of battery? - Do I need to disconnect battery negative before charging, or can I just connect the charger across the battery? - Could I use the aux power socket in the boot for trickle charging? Obviously depends how it's connected. Thanks for any input!

Hi all, new here. We've had an '06 Octavia vRS estate since '06 to complement our Saab 900 Turbos, which it's done very well. Still goes great, and should be good for a couple more decades. Last Saab now sadly gone to a younger enthusiast, to be replaced by a '15 Citigo - wonderful little machine, much better engineered than I'd expected.
