hello DJthompson one other thing to consider is how did you lose the oil , it may have been burned in the engine or it may have leaked out. neither is terribly desirable but i have had two instances on my octavia rs of leaks , both from an inadequately tight oil filter cover ( dealer serviced car ! ) the filter is just below the front passenger side mounting bracket for the engine cover - might be worth having a look at that.

Hello Folks has anyone here successfully connected a pioneer head unit ( i have a pioneer avicx1) to the offboard power amp in the octavia 2 ( with 12 speaker upgrade). I am having difficulty tracking down a lead that will link the two together. Autoleads did send one out to the fitter trying to do thsi for me but the ( at any rate first rev) autoleads lead did not work. Can anyone recommend a lead for this application? thanks in advance dod

Hello Briskodians I come with a question , I have a 2004 silver octavia vrs acquired new back in 2004 funnily enough to replace a 2001 octavia vrs acquired ( bit of a pattern here) in 2001. I am now think it is time for a radical change and as it is 2008 thinking of getting , you'll never guess a 2008 octavia vrs. i care a wee bit about the environment so am thinking of switching from petrol to diesel. I have heard that there have been some oil pump problems with the tdi pd 170 bhp engine - is that a very likely fault? i also want to get a removable tow hitch and considering a brink 452000 removabel , and their website says the bumper cut ( ulp) is invisible on a standard 2008 octy but hey do not knw what ind of a chop job they woudl need ot do on the different bumper on a 2008 vrs. Does nyone have experience of geting a discreet removable bumper fitted to a new Vrs. My 04 came with a neat ( invisible ) removable factory fit bumper but ( i know i am in the presence of experts here so i better be careful) i think that the 2004 rear bumper was standard profile. can anybody help me with my questions thanks in advance dod
