What i want to know is, does it have a gasket and seal kit needed,as i want to clean up the rocker cover and check the pcv valve and pipes etc?

The plenum,as i understand, is directly under the engine cover, it's the collection of pipes that direct air to the intake manifold. On mine, it's a big plastic flow chamber.

Have the same issue, mines an 07, most parts have never been changed. I'm lothe to take the the air intack stack off the car cus i don't know if one has to replace all the gaskets, if there are any. Got a couple of error codes, and the top of the rocker cover is oiley, suggestions are lambda sensors, but i'm leaning to PCV vale. Help. :D

Had an Octavia hatchback with the 1,6 mpi engine for 4 years. Love it, nippy and strong for the weight of it. It's an 07, so well old, but the era before over complicated electronics etc. In fairness it had low milage when i bought it, well looked after, apart from the rear brakes bushs etc. Probably the reason for the sale. Sorted that out fairly cheaply. Going to keep it going for a couple more years before i can borrow enough to get an estate with the same engine.

Hi guys, anyone know if the top mounts are identical, i mean will they fit on either side regardless?

Yeah, i had the shocks put on a couple of months back, i did ask if the top mounts were done, and they wern't.

Thanks for the input. Yes that's the only thing left i feel. My mounts are 40 to 50 a pop. Off to skibb tomorrow see if they have them, if not autodoc or some such. Judging by the low milage when i bought the car, all the rear is original, so worth changing them.

No mate. But i was led to believe they rarely give out.

Have, this knock is doing my head in knock. Had a 2 mechanics look at the rear suspension both say, there's nothing obvious. New shocks and drop links. All the bushs look ok, but i think there original 07. Is it possible old soft bushs would cause a knock but leave no witness marks? Thanks for any input, on the verge of setting a fire.

Have a mkii 1.6 mpi myself. anyone know which cleaners to avoid?

If you haven't any water ingress into your cabin, it will almost definitely be a broken wire in the door gator.

Found a broken but not separated brown wire on the airbag connector in the A pillar, not sure if i can slice it, or replace the loom. Oh and Rudycubes, the airbag system is yellow. Unless it's different on your mkII, on my mkII 1.6 mpi it's all yellow connectors and wires iirc.

Tending to point to drop links for me, had monroe shocks, new disks pads and calipers fitted , still the rapid knocking over slight bumps, sounds like a ball joint/tie rod kind of knock. Back to the mechanic, thanks for all the input guys,

Good question, was looking for the answer to that myself. From what I've gleaned so far is, high compression engines like diesels are interference to allow for closer tolerances and pressure. I have a MkII 07 mpi engine in mine.And, the timing belt is getting to that age.
