I had a pd vrs and with 21k on the clock, after a blast to Cornwall from the north east, dpf went. I have a cr now and the difference is massive, far, far better!

Help! My EPC (Emissions) or CEL (Check Engine Lamp) is on.
supersport2 replied to cjb's topic in Skoda Octavia Guides
This occured to my 2008 vrs cr tdi, having just driven to Cornwall, a 500 mile journey late evening and night time, at a good pace! Limped it into Falmouth Skoda, who did the diagnostic and it came back DPF 90% full of soot and a fire warning! A new DPF and sensor, £1400 on warranty, but my car only has 22k on it and 4 months warranty left, to say I am concerned is an under statement!! I was told that if the engine had been a PD there would have been fewer problems as they are seen as being bomb proof!! Dealer said they had seen quite a few with this problem! -
ECU Remap warning (from JKM)
supersport2 replied to TsvRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Eclipse of Sunderland had no problems remapping my mates 59 plates petrol vRS, took ages to get past the security on my cr170 vRS on a 58 plate! Cracking maps too! -
Getting a remap after crimbo, but I'm wanting a new panel filter. Which would people recommend I've seen one on the bay, £36 by pipercross, just I'm unsure of any of the part numbers, can anyon help?

Buying a vRS - anything I should look out for?
supersport2 replied to ahar's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I've had my 58 plate cr 170 vrs and I'm over the moon with it! Tyres on the front haven't lasted long, but all round, what a cracking car, thoroughly happy with it, and, touch wood, there have been no issues. You will get 50+ mpg if you drive like miss daisey, but I get mid 40s and still very happy! -
Sorry about the re post, but anyone know of any deals on these??
-
What tyres are you all fitting? Mine have lasted 12500 on the fronts!! What do you think of Toyos??

Air bags have gone off on a a motor that I'm thinking of getting, just wondering how hard is it and is there anything I need to know to make it safe and easy?

Initial impressions of a VRS Cr Tdi

I paid 14k for a 58 plated uk one, that was 10 months old with 10k on the clock, having spoken to the motorpoint team. I was a bit put off with the non uk spec, but to each their own. I can't believe how quick these cars are. I had a vectra 150 cdti with a power box on, and the octy is so much quicker. A million miles better than the vectra. Top choice. I love mine. I'm a right sad git, everytime I look out the window or walk past it, I have to stop and admire it.
