Hi .. its your egr is sticking.. im having the same increasingly frequent limp mode with the 1.6 cayc in my octy, especially since i stopped driving it for work a few weeks ago when i was told to use a van again instead of mileage. literally just now on the shopping run. i also get a flashing coil error and "maf" error on occassion, but its really the egr. that doesnt throw a limp though, and happens if i coast for more than 5seconds without a throttle blip. due a service soon. and my skoda semi indy (own time after work in skoda dealers) told he can get the egr blankedand mapped out for me for about 300quid. lot cheaper than a new one..

ive seen a few of these (dealership in my town) its odd, and i hate the led strip lights across the width of the car on every model/brand that does it. including audi a7 brake lights. but the ioniq 6 still wins the "twisted design of the year" award. its just wrong and not in a "grower" kinda way

Hi @Stuart147 welcome along, dont worry, we're a gentle loveable crowd around here, even if the yeti section is a bit of its own little world do you know the username of the guy want to find? if you do, just put an @ symbol, then type it in, like i did above, it will tag the user and theyl get a notification

👋 welcome to Briskoda when you say its 2005, im going to assume that means its a "Tour" trim? so a 1.9pd engine, 100ps output? on normal suspension etc?

yeah, sorry, i meant it runs from the front door through to the back door on each side

@Giannis20 looks like it yeah, and it all one piece through both doors?

Evening, does anyone know the part number for the interior plastic trim panel at the bottom of the front passenger door? colleague in work has a mkiv and one of the kids managed to crack the piece, so hes looki g to try and get a replacement.

check out @FUBAR's thread about his android HU with bluetooth, gps etc. ebay job, and was very happy with it

morning @CrassAss is it a hatchback or estate you have? first, easy, place to look on both would be that the seal is sealing properly. get some coloured chalk and rub it all over the seal on the car side. then get a damp cloth and rub down the hatch side. close the boot gently (to not force the seal) and open it again. the chalk should transfer all the way round, if theres any gaps, then its not sealing properly. the fact you say the seal has water in it points towards that, may need a new seal.

i cant remember exactly, as its a long time since i recall it coming up on here last, but do a search in this sub section for NGK and Gap you should get some hits. edit... search result.. this one has details

gap check those plugs.. also i am 99% sure that mapped 1.8T need ngk plugs (with a corrected gap) search that in this sub forum for the exact spec and if its really really really not the plugs, get your coil packs checked.

my wife's arona has a 7speed dsg (dont which one i dont know) and ive used the manual mode a few times, but I feel like its upside down.. push forward for an upshift and pull back for down shift just feels wrong. it feels like pushing forward on an aircraft yoke to gain altitude would - wrong...

my 2004 tdi mk1 had rear isofix hoops fitted.

what spark plugs did you use when replacing them? and what was in it? may need to check the gaps as i seem to recall mapped 1.8Ts needing the gap adjusted, but that may be in specific setups, may be that your map needs it and it hasnt been done..

wire looms looking fine and being fine can be different things.. get a multimeter in there and start continuity testing them, in case theres any breaks.

Hi @mark_amus when you say misfire, is the idle rough? fluctuating up and down and not settling? reason i ask that is the MAF fault on that list. if it is, try unplugging the maf and run it again. if no change it rules it out, if it settles down then the maf is done, and you need a new GENUINE one. not a pattern part, youll just end up buying an oem one anyway.

so, yeah, its a golf estate. its easy to drive, easy to gauge spaces. keyless fob, electric handbrake (not something i like in any car)

🤣🤣 it never moved all day yesterday.. shops not open we just wandered around the area ate lunch out and went to the beach, so no photos taken yet. I got... a.... VW Golf Estate! its ideal, boot floor space is the same as my mk2 octy ( obviously abit more height available, but not needed as the bags fit the same way as at home) diesel, 6 speed manual, massive television screen to do all the button work, so i have to figure out all that crap.. it drives... basically the same as my car but newer ( havent even checked what year it is ) going to Carrefour shortly, a daylight drive after the dark o clock settle in drive the road..

similar but different.. tried to get my colleague to get all the 9's, he missed them as the we passing through the tag lane of the toll and it beeped, distracted him for a second and he got the 100k instead 😞 "Take the photo!!!" "what was that?" "dipsh17, you missed them "

would be nice, but i doubt it

yeah, im thinking it being Spain improves the odds a bit, that said i booked the same in Alicante back end of 2022 and got an MG ZS suv...

its time again... pick up Saturday night in Malaga. booked with Budget through AutoEurope as a "Seat Leon Estate or Similar" what will it be!!!! Ill update on Sunday, as the flight arrives pretty late Sat night

distracted by focussing on the noise and having read the other post

she sounds diesely, and law of averages and fuel type sales of new cars back in 08 , id hedge a bet on its a tdi, but if it is as mike suggested, and it does sound rough and horrible, petrols can sound diesely... id lean toward agreeing though, and look at the chain tensioner.

other things ive noticed with the newer light systems are that they over power older lights. so, the light from , say an Octy 2's H7 halogens just gets eradicated by the higher energy photons from oncoming leds so you lose the visual range of even tracking along the verge for a line and spotting pedestrians and cyclists at the road edge, but also the number of times I have passed new vehicles with Xenon or matrix headlights that then even when dimmed are so bright (and highly aimed) that im driving along with their lights casting a shadow of my car in front of me because they just totally swamp the halogens in blue toned light until i get on down the road and open a bit of space is getting more frequent. Though, tbh even led street lights overpower halogens in lots of places i drive through and definitely reduce the ar eas my lights are illuminating for my sight line - the shadows are wrong for where im looking if that makes sense? ultimately factory LED and Xenon are much better for "the driver using them" but a bit 5hit for everyone else around them, while Halogens are just 5hit for everyone. manufacturers just need to work on finding a better balance on the led and xenon systems. led retrofits H series are tempting if like me you spend a lot time in the dark and know the Halogens are crap and want better, but i wont get them because i know their crap for everybody else.
