octaviam3

thanks,i will do that.

Thanks for your reply, I only phoned the dealer today to see what they would suggest i do, and they never even mentioned a diagnostics check,only that they would change the diesel filter. I will have to insist on a diagnostic check if the filter makes no difference.

hi, just wondered whether any one could shed some light on an intermitent fault with my 2007 octavia vrs 170 tdi. It starts fine when cold or left for any length of time, but if i switch off the engine and try to restart whilst it is still warm,it just turns over and will not start immediatly, it can take a couple of minites some times. I have spoken to my local dealer who services the car and they suggest changing the fuel filter which i am happy to do,but i feel that this is unlikly to make any difference as when running the car drives fine. also another problem i have with the car,is that sometimes first thing in the morning, especially in the winter,just after starting the car the overheating light and alarm will come on if i switch of the engine and restart it goes out and all is fine i was wondering if this maybe linked in anyway,I have also mentioned this to my dealer but they just seemed to shrug it off and told me that there was'nt anything to worry about.
