Correct term is interference or non-interference

Thats its trick I did mine, £40 job

I had a cambelt fail on a 1.8 Sierra turbo diesel, £400 skim head/new valves, back on the road, the 2.5di transit could shed a belt and be running again with a set of cam followers fitted we are going backwards not forwards Special Award if anyone can tell me the special secret of the FWD Vauxhall Cavalier (at least the petrol models)

I recall possibly the 1st engines with cambelts in the UK (Ford Pinto) and the soft camshafts they had too

Anyway, Skoda stood the bill, it's easier to sell than with no engine

Well let's look at it... Engine block cast metal Crank forged and machined Camshaft solid steel Crank shells high quality bronze/phosphorous? What operates the important valve openings on this interference engine? £5 worth of 1" wide nylon webbing as strong as my braces.. Another big earner for garages either to replace or fit new engines when they fail.. Manufacturers must award designers for the best revenue streams in parts and labour DMF DPG VGT EGR

And I am in the octavia mk3 forum.... Lol

Ive had several since then

There are non-interference engines out there For sale Inc 2 year skoda warranty on engine...

Only 3 years old

Seems the cambelt tensioner fell apart, belt shredded, engine dropped its lunch down below How fragile these things are... Come back crossflow pushrod Ford Cortinas

Any idea how long Skoda would give a dealership to change an engine? Whats a typical dealers Labour rate per hour?

Should the S/S cut the engine while the vehicle is still moving (albeit very slowly)? the S/S manuals ive had dont cut the engine till the vehicle is stopped.

while you tarmac my drive?

To quote sea sick steve... "if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all"

Whats that?

Waiting

I was offered almost £10,000 for it as it is, as a non runner

Held in Europe.... Hope Putin backs off then

What I saw wouldn't have made decent 2 stroke moped engine

Not had an offer for the car except the £13,500 from Cazoo 4 weeks ago...

Ive seen mine.................. it spread it guts all over the floor 2 weeks ago having done 40,000 miles

My 40,000 mile 1.6 is in bits, and i mean in a skip

no 1.6 now.....

Was the 1.6 dropped for the Octavia Mk4? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia#Engines_2
