CTHE/CAVE Engine...Whats the diffrence?
I see mods have done some cleaning since I saw this before on the new content feed… can I offer a tip? Next time there’s a huge data dump coming that needs to be edited a lot - Do it up as a word doc so you can take your time and put it all together and change as needed. Then copy paste or just upload it as an attachment

Octavia revs
Hi, Does the car do long journeys or lots of short ones? Holding the revs hi like that is (in my experience) the exp trying to run dog regents and failing. Or… If it’s only at start up for a few minutes and then drops down it could be the ac system trying to build pressure and failing if it has had a refrigerant gas leak.

Anyone looking to sell - vrs estate.
Have a look in the market place, Anyone who is thinking about it will have to put an ad there as non-freedom member selling or advertising is frowned upon and swatted quickly by the mod team.

Deleting attachments
Morning, If viewing on mobile - Tap on your profile pic, to bring up the account menu, then tap on “my attachments”. Select the files you want to delete, then tap on the Bin icon. It’s probably very similar on a pc/laptop browser, but I can log into Brisky on my work laptop due to security restrictions by our IT dept..

Front brake pads and discs for Octavia mk3 1.6 TDI Diesel 105hp? Ordered wrong ones last time.
FS is visible on the carrier in first pic, so they are an FSiii calibre and if you measured the diameter of your old disc at 276mm that’s what you want - Discs and pads for 276mm FSiii calipers

DPF issue
Okay, should be long enough, but the rpm may be too low. the DPF system needs a sustained run over 40mph and rpm between 2000 - 2500rpm. In my mk2 that means sitting about 55-60mph in 4th gear (5speed manual, your gearing may vary), and for about 15-20mins to complete the regen process

DPF issue
That means the dpf isn’t getting to regen frequently enough. What kind of driving does the car do?

Hello for the second time
Welcome Back! If you know what email address you used originally, and ask Colin, he may be able to find your old details and do a password reset for you? There was a provider change in the last few yrs and a lot of old accounts got a bit lost in the transfer.
- RIP FABIA🪦

How to start a new categorie
That’s for a site admin to take care of. I do know both Colin and Dean are pretty busy at the minute, but I’m sure it will get added to the forum as soon as they have a chance 👍🏻 In the meantime, just start your new threads here in the mk4 section, and put it in the title that it’s for the face lift. Then once the new sub is added, mods can pull them across easily. That said, Colin doesn’t usually split out the facelifts into their own model sub.

Octavia Sat Nav
Moisture in the antenna base on the roof. My Amundsen+ satnav in my mk2 occasionally throws a hissy fit like this, had me somewhere in the British midlands once, while I was driving around near home in South Tipperary… Ireland…

push headlights switch in further than fog-lamps-off setting?
Yup, On a mk 1 you moved the switch to the dipped beam position (12 o clock) then push in and twist clockwise until it stops. Then pull out to remove the switch assembly. Can’t see the basics of the switch type having changed much..

Sailfast
Given you’ve had the egr replaced and the dpf, even though does seem similar in symptoms to that failing… Does that engine have an N75 equivalent? Ie the boost actuator solenoid. Sounds to me like cold running is causing the turbo to not spool up. And it’s being chucked into limp mode. Thus it’s okay going down the hill as there is a lot less load on the engine.
