  1. I thought that meant it is both turbocharged AND supercharged?
  2. Right lads!! What does "tsi" stand for ?
  3. Thanks for the info! Checking my pockets...
  4. Anyone got any comments on petrol turbos such as expected life (miles), frequency of oil-change, driving tips, general maintenance costs ?
  5. Hi. Before I order, I'd welcome comments (good or bad) from owners of the 1.2 petrol turbo engine, whatever model it's fitted in. Particularly concerned about the turbo's associated costs and reliability. Thanks!!
  6. Hi all. I'm thinking of buying a 1.2 litre turbo petrol Octavia. I've never had a turbo before and so I googled the topic . It seems that turbos require more frequent servicing and oil changes, therefore expensive to keep. Does anyone out there have a 1.2 litre turbo petrol Octavia? I would really welcome your comments and experiences. I'm after economy, not speed, and I would describe myself as a "steady" driver; when on motorways I drive to the limit and take my time on ordinary roads. Thanks in advance!
  7. Skoda have known about this problem for years. How come it is still happening? Makes me wonder about the old Skoda jokes...
  8. Hi all. I gave my Octy Mk 11 its weekly wash today and noticed the driver- side front foglamp slightly loose. I can't see how to tighten it up before it gets worse and falls out. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!
  9. I presently have a 1.4 petrol Octy Mk II with which I am well pleased, but I may change it for the new model, which has a 1.2 litre petrol. This engine is plenty fast enough for me as my reflexes ain't what they once were, and fuel economy is important to me. I would welcome any comments from any owners of the 1.2 litre as to how they find it, how they reckon it compares to the 1.4L . Thanks!!
