No difference

[vibration at 1800 revs]

hi Phil

Yes at the same engine speed no matter which gear I am in 

[vibration at 1800 revs]

2006 1.9 tdi, I have a vibration that starts at 1800 revs, gets worse the more revs  until 4000 revs then disappears & runs smooth

I have had wheels balanced, fitted new engine mounts, new clutch, switched wheels back to front, any ideas would be appreciated

[Engine Vibration]

I am having similar problems to this, 1.9tdi, it felt like engine was running on three cylinders at certain revs/speed I had engine checked out on computer no faults showing, when accelerating hard no problems but at around 60mph/1500/2000revs a slight judder at 70mph severe judder, dip the clutch smooth vibration stops, I am going to check all points mentioned above & will report back

engine was running rough before filter change, when I have a chance will check EGR & breather pipes, thanks for suggestions I will report back findings

[1.9tdi engine hesitation]

thanks for replies, I changed fuel filter so I will now clean my EGR & see how it goes from there

[1.9tdi engine hesitation]

My 1.9tdi has recently started to hesitate feeling almost like a misfire on a petrol engine, it occurs at between 1500 to 2200 revs at around 50/60mph mainly when driving on light throttle & gets slightly worse when accelerating away from those revs, if I drive the car hard taking revs up to say 4500revs through the gears there are no issues, car is 06 with 104000mls

any help appreciated

[Diff shattered 06 1.9 tdi]

driving home last night luckily only few hundred yards from home there was an almighty bang from the nearside of the car and a rattle & grinding noise knocked it out of gear & rolled downhill to home, on looking underneath oil was pouring out quickly put a bowl under to catch oil, on examination the diff casing is totally shattered what caused this I have no idea but a replacement gearbox is needed, the code for box is JCV is this the only box that will fit my car? or will other codes from same year fit,

this is third Octavia I have owned & first ever problem, mileage on this car is 108000 my two previous octavias  had covered over 160000 when I sold them

[BXE Engine]

We have all read the posts on here regarding BXE conrod failures, what about some positives, my 2006 Octavia BXE has 95000mls on the clock & my fathers 2006 Octavia BXE has 167000mls on the clock, any more out there??

[which model do i buy?]

Advice please, i have owned three Octavia 1.9 tdi pleased with all of them, recently bought 06 estate but SWMBO says its to big for her, looking for a Fabia estate, as we only do around 5000mls a year mainly short runs, not really bothered what fuel, the only thing is i tow a trailer once a month about 350 kgs in weight, 160ml round trip, with such a choice of engines not sure what would suit us the best we have around £5500 to spend,

any advice appreciated

[power steering]

thanks

[Seats]

Having previously owned two Mk 1 Octavias in which i could drive for hours in comfort i am really dissapointed with the seat in my 06 1.9 tdi Estate, no matter how i adjust them i cannot seem to get comfortable.

Is it possible to fit Mk 1 seats or VRS leather seats, are there any issues removing seats regarding the airbags or any suggestions as to what i could try?

thanks

[diesel filter]

Thanks for help, job now done

[diesel filter]

How do i go about changing diesel filter? my previous Skoda had a canister type filter, looking at the filter on this car (06 tdi) is it just an element needs replacing

thanks

[tyre sizes]

Recently bought an 06 Octavia 1.9 tdi estate, it is fitted with 205/60/15 but on the fuel filler flap when checking for tyre pressures it also states tyre sizes, 195/55/15, 195/65/15, can any of these sizes be used on same axle or will speedo read way out

thanks

[stiff steering]

Thanks for replies,

Anyone in Derby/Staffs border area with a VCDS that could help

thanks

[stiff steering]

Just changed my 03 octavia for an 06 & notice steering is a little stiff, thinking it could be strut top bearings? any help/suggestions appreciated

[fuel filter 1.9 tdi]

recently having trouble with hesitant starting first thing in morning, changed CTS, checked glow plugs all o.k. after initial start fine all day

When changing diesel filter noticed filter was not full, is this normal? could diesel be draining back to tank

thanks

[1.9 tdi]

Thinking of upgrading from a 03 to an 06 octavia, would i be correct in assuming both engines from those years are the same

thanks

[difficult starting TDI]

Just recently my 1.9 TDI is difficult to start first thing in the morning, when it does start runs rough for a few seconds then o.k. all day,

I have replaced glow plugs (tested old ones they were o.k.) could it be coolant temp sender? not sending correct message to ECU as some times guage drops to zero then will return to normal/90

thanks

[starter motor]

I have an 03 1.9 tdi, after stopping the car for five minutes when trying to start car the starter did not turn, the ignition lights did not dim, after a few attempts at turning key starter turned & away i went, next day car started normally but after a 60 mile journey the same thing happened, on lifting bonnet i could hear solonoid clunking so presume it was engaging starter gear but starter was not turning, after about twenty or so turns of key it started!!!

it has now been o.k. for the past fortnight, it is not battery i have tested & it allways remains fully charged, any thoughts as i would like to sort it before a foriegn motoring trip

thanks

[which engine?]

Looking to buy an 06 1.9 tdi octavia classic estate, confused as to which engine it is, is it the PD or common rail, concerned as i have been told PD engine injectors are troublesome & expensive

thanks

[front suspension rattle/knock]

Thanks for replies,its definatley suspension problem as you can feel it through steering wheel, it was mot tested a couple of weeks ago & while it was up on ramps both tester & myself had a good push/pull/lever, everything was tight so no problem with test, just seems a complete mystery

[front suspension rattle/knock]

when passing over grids, pothholes etc my front suspension gives a sound/feeling of something like worn bush rattling, i have checked wishbones with a pry bar & nothing appears worn or loose, mileage is 120,000, any ideas to cause? thanks in advance
