Water from sprinkler pump is a killer. This is a poor design. If you want to sleep well do not connect hose to the new mechanism. Plug hose and leave disconnected.

as radiator has only two connections top hose cannot get hot without warm water going from bottom hose and through radiator. I assume that if radiator is cold and top hose getting warm there is a premature opening of thermostat. It is unhealthy to sink thermostat in the boiling water. I would rather buy two three wahler behr vernet and compare opennings in the pot to chose the narrow one. I replaced thermostat recently. Im driving to my work 4km without warming up. Hand goes to 90'C after 3km. While there is demand from heater core hoses never get warm so I assume big circuit remains closed.

I fixed my mechanism, removed water but it does not fit properly to glass. I think I have mechanism from COMBI version. Do you guys know proper OEM number for liftback version O2 FL 2011

I just replaced thermostat in my 1.6 BSE and Sun is shining stronger again. Engine reach 90 deg after 2 km now. 😊 I hope for lower oil consumption aswell. In my other car it helped.

no nothing nas been changed I would not cut my hand but as I remember elevated rpm came in May with this summer and heat wave. On Saturday - Sunday I will try to disconnect negative terminal for a whole night, in the morning make sure battery is 12.6v and I will try to start cold engine. I will connect laptop and see if any errors are registered in memory and check coolant temperature sensor readings. I'm really confused if this is normal behavior (in some rare circumstances) or malfunction. Thanks

Yup. 60mA is too high to me. My other car Passat takes 30mA :( I will try to pin point it. But I swapped in the morning that new Varta 60Ah for another new battery charged all night with 14v and did not helped. I locked car, put screwdriver in the hood latch and I was waiting for a 2 hours :( Maybe that Octavia 2011 do not tolerate battery bigger than specification? I think should be 55Ah or 45Ah? My vintage passat B5 do not care about capacity. Or maybe power steering is current hog?

hi guys I'm trying to find out what is the cause. 1.6 MPI BSE 2011. Elevated idle 1200rpm for about 30 seconds only when I start cold engine. I'm doing 8km daily. Charging 14.4v, charging 650rpm 13.8v, in the morning 12.2v, ignition on 11.9v, start 10v. Varta 60Ah. Leaking current at stand by 60mA. I replaced it for another fresh fully charged 12.6v battery 66Ah. No luck the same. I'm running out of ideas. I don't remember when it happened for the very first time. I think I would say last summer engine started without rising rpm. video cold start at 7 o clock, 20 'C

I would check for sure if the timing chain did not jump. It is common. "I can't accelerate over 50mph" is a sizeable loss of power.

Hello all. New Octavia 2 (petrol) driver here. Love to dismantle cars and put it back
