I have a 2010 2.0l CR diesel Octavia Scout with 85k miles on the clock. It has developed a stutter on acceleration between 1900 - 2100 rpm in the last couple of days, and is most noticeable in 2nd and 3rd. Once past 2100, the acceleration continues cleanly. Has anyone else experienced this? It may be coincidence or not, but The VW/Audi 'update' was also carried out 6 weeks ago, and afterwards sounded slightly 'throatier', but didn't show any other differences that I could tell.

Thanks folks.

I have had the exhaust warning light appear on the Scout: https://flic.kr/p/oCeAFv and, using a friends scanner, have the code P2454 - DPF differential pressure sensor fault: https://flic.kr/p/oCcVq5 https://flic.kr/p/oBXVv2 after a search for for sensor location, I believe that it is located here: https://flic.kr/p/oCeAEP If this is the correct sensor, examining it shows that there is one pipe coming from what I believe is the DPF, and one that is open to the air (marked with a red line on the picture): https://flic.kr/p/okJQ9w https://flic.kr/p/oCcVpo This seems curious, as the circuit diagram I have found (from here: http://www.volkspage...ssp/SSP_336.pdf) shows it as a closed circuit with a pipe from each side of the DPF: https://flic.kr/p/okKa3m If this ISN'T the correct sensor, could someone possibly show me where I should be looking, as I'd like to be sure that it isn't a faulty connection before changing it. (copied from the diagnostics forum, as I haven't had any joy in getting a response there)

I've been away on holiday but yes, if I'm not too late I'd be in.

I ordered mine on March 31st 2010, and it arrived September 1st 2010. They were pretty inept at paying the compensation (Dealer says in Head office, head office say "no such thing, it's the main dealer" etc) but my £150 did come through ok in the end...much to my wife's delight!

I have the same one as Dekka, and it certainly has helped my wife choose the correct nozzle ...so far

Awesome work fella - bookmarked!

but .....reeeeeeeeally slooooooooooowly!!!

Mine took just shy of 6 months to arrive, and as a "good will gesture" I received an M&S gift card for £150.

Mine was the same. An old boy who really seemed to care about the cars he was driving, and insisted I took my time and looked it over carefully before he left. I then gave him a lift to the train station, as they have to make their own way home.

Seasonal falicitations to one and all

A fantastic price, could we ask where in the world you are?

Another CR140 Scout owner here, and am very happy with it. It's much more refined than the PD, sitting halfway between a PD and a Petrol. As Raglits says, it's fairly new to the Skoda fleet, but has been in VW's for a while now.

Does anyone know the pros/cons to each of these?

Gorgeous car and would very nice next to my '65 Split

I concur!

Looks awesome Krimatt , congrats

Another vote here for Hatchbag. They take a few weeks to make it for you (each one is made for you model car, rather than a generic badly fitting one), but when you come to fit it, it fits like a glove.

So Silver, what you're saying is that Mineral oil = Fully Synthetic oil? and that VW in the 70's stopped advising 30 weight mineral oil for my Splitscreen camper in preference for 10/40 for nothing more than "marketing". I guess you (and all the Formula 1 teams) are still using standard 30 weight Mineral oil then?

Search is your friend

Awesome news!

Just replied to the other Scout mpg thread and only on my 3rd tank of fuel, but up to now (with regular stop/start commuting driving) it's been around 42 mpg; according to the trip computer.
