VRS TFSI Xenon Headlight MOT failure!
alberg replied to rawcas's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
That happened to me once. Cleared codes and back to normal. -
Lately been using the gps and getting annoyed with the fact that the street names, bigger ones, stay fixed on maxidot, it doesn't run across the screen. (The Columbus itself should display on top the name of the street your are on.) Is this normal

Injector issues on 1.6tdi, 2010 plate
alberg replied to Devonchap's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Yes injector failures. Usually common on owners who hear loud clack, clack noise at very low rpm. Some also have irregular rpm on idle, my not be noticeable on needle but you can feel it at steering wheel and the engine noise is also varies. Try this to test Handbreak 1° gear and do like if trying to start uphill. Except only tap the accelerator slightly and donnot take foot of clutch completely. -
Remapped 1.6tdi will be much better in certain conditions but will not be equal to the 2.0tdi with the same hp. From what I know it's more effective, or more noticeable on the DSG7 than manual 5speed. To compare I tested out on fifth gear from 110-180km/h and takes off 10 seconds. Noticeable power at lower rpm and mid range rpm due to the higher torque. On bench mine reached 114hp and 275nm torque. Friends did 93hp and 235nm. All for fuel economy
