Oh dear, My issue sounds very similar - if not exactly the same - diagnostics reveal nothing. Just back from short drive to hospital and engine is now chugging away - somebody said it sounded like a diesel ! I am an old school petrol-head serviced my cars own for many years rebuilt engines etc. My diagnostic is that it is a fuel issue (too rich ?) Rather than change the car - change all the fuel system parts ? (and the metal cam belt?) But the problem then is obtaining the parts - can anyone recommend a good parts store UK/EU ? Good luck,

Cannot obtain parts - looking for over six months for a replacement headlamp unit ! I am in Reading Berks - any suggestions ? Also now paid out over £200 on fault diagnosis - still no clearer as to a problem or the solution - my mechanic says I should scrap the car ! Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Stuart

Greetings to fellow Skoda owners. I have owned an Octavia L&K Estate from almost new in April 2008 (my second Octavia) Until past few months almost faultless. Now cannot diagnose problems or obtain parts ! Regards, Stuart
