I have recently purchaced a 2006 1.9 TDi Octavia and it is proving very difficult to start in the mornings.
The weather is not that cold yet so I dread to think what it is going to be like in the winter.
It gives one cough then takes about 3 to 4 mins turning over before it comes to life. During the day it starts first touch and the engine seems to go well. It has been in a Skoda Dealer and they have not fixed it, just presented me with a heafty bill. To be honest they wont get a look at the car again as I think they are incompetent, not fit to be a main dealer.
A new battery and starter motor cured it for about 3 weeks and now it is back to its old ways.
Any clues, anybody?
