Ahh yeah! I may pick myself one up then. Do you know what the other thing is?. I’ve put my car pump there as it fits perfectly

Bluff started following New to skoda, new to the forum , What are these??? , Hello and 3 others

I’ve been searching the net to find out what these are ? No joy .. it’s really niggling at me haha.. just wanna know what they are because I see some Octavia’s with them

I recognise your name for some reason.. lol I’m also a Ford defector lol. You used to be on any Mondeo or fiesta pages?

Can someone tell me if this is normal?

I have recently acquired a 2015 VRS Octavia after coming away from a 20 year old MK3 Mondeo ST im slowly getting used to the car but when im on the motorway i can describe what feels like a slight JOLT just before I come of the acceleration. Car drives perfect when I’m putting my foot down etc . It’s just noticeable at slow speeds in 5-6 gear, where I’m lightly pressing the gas (maybe it’s my driving style) but I am hearing a sucking noise around the turbo inlet area, I took the pipe off over the weekend to see if I can find any splits , put it back on and give it a good tighten with no joy (maybe it’s just the sound of air running through the turbo and pipes) also no codes coming up so I don’t know if this is a normal thing or not

Thanks I’ll give it a try, I was told the brakes are Newley fitted when I bought the car, but there don’t seem to be much grease there

I’ve just bought a 2015 vrs and noticed a clunk after reversing … then braking going foward. Definitely coming from the front.. I guess this is normal 😂

Hi, I suspect a vaccume leak on my turbo/inlet pipe.. I can hear it sucking and come to think of it, there is a slight lag/judder at low acceleration I’ve got 3 months warranty so I’ll be taking this back, I’m just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue? Maybe I can pin point where the break is in the pipe to confirm where it is leaking Skoda VRS 2015 TD

It’s done 132,000 but looking at the MOT history it has never failed and looks to me like it’s mostly motorway mileage (I hope)
-
Aye it is, I do around 35 miles a day so needed a derv

Thanks mate, I’ll check it out, I used to do alot of my own work on the fords but I feel like I haven’t got a clue with this new car .. but I had to change eventually my Mondeo was on 230k and developed enough problems to a point I gave up.. engine would probably outlast the car haha. I haven’t drove the Skoda properly only a test drive and it has 3 months warranty… water pump, brakes & cam belt done by the garage who sold it to me.. it does seem a little Smokey and stinky when I idle it on my drive .. but it’s not thick smoke.. but it is cold and it’s probably not been driven for a couple of weeks but if it does not improve I’m going to contact the RAC and get it checked properly after a good week of driving
