How has he been priming the new fuel pumps? Has he used the lift pump to prime / purge the system? Running the high pressure fuel pump dry without first priming / purging the system will likely destroy it / cause the iron filings as it relies on diesel for lubrication. This page gives the relevant instructions. Look particularly at the section with the vcds instructions and the video just below: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/fuel-filter-replacement-2009-vw-jetta-golf-jsw-and-audi-a3-tdi/

Have a look at Archoil AR6400-D and BG244 for cleaning injectors / carbon deposits. For ongoing maintenance / cleaning, try something like Archoil AR6200, Archoil AR6800 or Millers Diesel Power Ecomax at each fill up (or use premium diesel). http://www.powerenhancer.co.uk/shop-by-category/fuel-treatment-cleaners/high-strength-fuel-cleaners/diesel.html

It appears that what you want might not be what leave are actually offering you. We can only wait and see what actually happens. http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/uk_576e2967e4b08d2c56393241?edition=uk&icid=maing-grid7%7Cuk-ttg%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D473299

Good to see politicians sticking to form - hopefully no-one voted leave on the basis of there being an end to free movement of labour / workers across Europe including the UK... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/evan-davis-newsnight-bbc-daniel-hannan-mep-eu-referendum-brexit_uk_576e2967e4b08d2c56393241

Surely by voting out we've given them no choice over keeping the opportunities we've had (such as free access to work / live / travel anywhere in Europe)?If we'd voted in and it all went t*ts up in the future there'd still have been the opportunity for another referendum / leave decision. Unfortunately the decision has now been made, and it has been made based on a lot of unknowns / what ifs and there is no going back now.

It seems a lot of the younger generation who will have to live with the long term consequences of what has been done to them today aren't happy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-36616698 Take a look at the channel tunnel update towards the bottom of the above linked page, it made me smile...

Judging by the share of votes cast, this might be the start of the end of the UK as a country as we know it, with the calls for a second Scottish independence vote already starting and even rumblings about Northern Ireland too. I hope the politicians can keep the country together, but we have shown that we are anything but a United Kingdom on this key issue. The markets also look set to react very badly this morning to the result, pound already down 10% and predictions of 12-19% drop for FTSE100. We can only wait and see now how this will turn out in the fullness of time...

Lots of black smoke means the mix is too rich, either not enough air/oxygen or too much diesel. Have a look at this page and follow the guidance: https://sites.google.com/site/1810martin/vcds-and-pd-tdi-engine-health-check Prior to performing the above checks note what is mentioned about ensuring the air filter and fuel filter are ok / fitting new ones. The coolant temperature sensor is a common failure point that would result in overfueling and it doesn't usually flag a fault code.

Although you can check your option codes on the sticker, the front brake code often isn't included. Since your car isn't a vRS, the different size front brakes can be determined by looking for FS-III stamped in the front outer face of the front calipers - if you have alloys this should be clearly visible through the gaps in the alloy. FS-III = 280mm brakes. This page explains the brake assignments according to engine code, gearbox type, 4WD/2WD and build date: http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk2/brake_systems/technical_data/brakes/brake_variants_and_their_assignment/

Machine mart sell them. I have this set: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cht144-40-pce-torxspline-bit-holder-s/ Triple square bits are also known as spline or XZN bits There are other sets / options on the machine mart website

Must be off the top of your screen, try this link for the mk1 octavia: http://vagfans.info/EN/skoda/CZ/OCT/Octavia/2005/252 or this is another option: http://parts-catalogs.club/skoda/en/?i=cat_vag_models&brand=sk&number=81&

Here you go: http://vagfans.info/EN/skoda/parts-catalog

FS-III stamped in the side of the front calipers = 280mm discs. See the picture in this thread on uk-mkivs titled "280mm FS-III Fronts" for what to look for: http://uk-mkivs.net/topic/9932-the-brake-discussion-upgradessizesinfo/ This site shows the brake assignments according to engine size (although I've seen a couple of instances on Briskoda where the brake setup on some cars hasn't matched this - could just be due to previous owners having changed brake setup though): http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk2/brake_systems/technical_data/brakes/brake_variants_and_their_assignment/

Keep the faith, I'm sure there are others like me lurking in the background who don't post often Mine is an AWX/GGB elegance that's only just ticked past 94k, so just about run in now. Just fitted her winter alloys this weekend too.

As already mentioned the correct oils should be approved or meet the 505.01 or 507.00 specs. 505.01 oil is normally 5W40 507.00 is 5W30 Do not use oil graded as 505.00 as it is not suitable for the PD TDI engine in your car.

Further to jimbof's comments, it is the transmission fluid you've dropped. From the same website, the article linked below shows the location of the engine and transmission sump plugs (the engine shown is a 2.0l 8v TDI in an American Passat but it is very similar to the 1.9). You do need to remove the front under tray to access the engine sump plug. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/wiki/engine-oil-and-filter-change-b5-vw-passat-tdi/

The 1.6 FSI doesn't have a cam belt, it has a cam chain.

I also recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s for summer tyres on the Superb. I've got them fitted to all 4 corners on my Mk1 (1.9 PD130 TDI). I think the exact spec of the tyres I have from memory are 225/45/R17 94Y

jars, since it is a free country, you are perfectly entitled to be deluded - I find it is a common problem with boarders :p

Ski boots are the most critical bit of kit for skiing in my opinion - a poor fitting pair will likely ruin a holiday either via blisters, cold feet (lack of circulation) or just general inability to control your skis. Having said that, personally unless you've got a lot of money burning a hole in your pocket or are going to be skiing a lot when you start out I'd rent until you find out what type of skier you are, i.e. how fast you ski / how strong you are / how aggressive your style is etc. There are different stiffnesses of boots (referred to as flex) in addition to foot shape as previously mentioned, with the stiffest and tightest fitting boots generally being used by pro racers and the most flexible being used by beginners. Another thing worth noting is if you are going to buy make sure you get them fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. You may find ski boots that fit properly might be up to a size smaller than your normal shoe size. Loads of beginners make the mistake of buying a pair of boots that feel nice and comfy in the shop and feel like slippers. They then find after a few days skiing the boots are too big once the foam sock has compressed a bit and their feet are able to move about in the boot - very bad for their ability to control their skis. It is probably of no use to you as they're on the other side of the Pennines to Manchester, but I got my last pair of boots (Fischer's) from the link below (note they are only fully open during the winter months - they concentrate on selling motorbikes during the summer! When you think about it it is an interesting business model - how many people buy motorbikes in the winter vs summer and the opposite for ski equipment.) Richard is the resident boot fitter and I certainly recommend him - a fitting takes a while but that is more a sign of the fact he does it properly. http://www.bennettswintersports.co.uk This video from youtube may be useful for you also:
