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

Injector issues on 1.6tdi, 2010 plate
alberg replied to Devonchap's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Not recall for injector change but yes on software. Very common on 1.6tdi early models -
Would you choose a Vrs over a 2:0TDI SEL?
alberg replied to Robkernow's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
From what I know only models over 140hp come with IRS. I believe within VW group -
Over this way if you don't go and do the recall, the garage will let the motor department know. They will call you for an extra inspection and if not done recall the cars plates will be considered invalid. I myself have remap and after recall will get software back into it I would wait unless you remap company will do it again for free further down da road

1.6 TDI CR FAP (2009) : any known cooling circuit issues?
alberg replied to RJVB's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Hehehe, sorry, distribution is on our passenger side. The pump has a small hole, 4mm maybe, so if pump internal seal starts going bad the liquid will flow out of the hole into side of engine and drop under Carter -

1.6 TDI CR FAP (2009) : any known cooling circuit issues?
alberg replied to RJVB's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Had water pump on mine gone at 115000km. You may see dried water spots on the undertray on your drivers side -
When you lock rear Windows from drivers door the illumination on the switch goes off. But recently only on one side does this? Using a drivers door module from a Golf the same thing happens. No errors from vagcom. Any suggestions? Yes the Windows lock
