Hi All, I have a 2014 Octy 1.2 Petrol and I've noticed that when I accelerate, particularly when going uphill and most noticeable in 5th and 6th gear that there is a small judder a bit like going over a bit of rough road. I had to have a new injector a few years back but it's been fine since. I seem to notice it more since the car was serviced last month, but that might be a coincidence. About 93k on clock. Need to have cam belt changed soon! I'll plug in my diagnostic computer tomorrow, but any ideas what this might be?

They sort of said they are so busy, if I can sort the parts, they'll fit me in. Plus, they seemed to think it would be cheaper!

Hi All, I've been told by my local garage I need: 4 x spark plugs 4 x coil packs (assuming they are the things that the spark plugs go into?) 2 x injectors + seals I'm struggling to work out which exact parts I need - can anyone help please? Many thanks

Hi all, I was driving my 2014 Octy 1.2 petrol yesterday and the emissions control light started flashing for about 10 seconds, then the EPC light came on. Then I lost some acceleration and gradually got slower until I pull in off the motorway at the next junction. By the time it was safe to stop there was a sort of chemical smell in the car and there was some blue smoke coming out the rear. Once I turned the engine off it won't restart. Oil and coolant levels seem ok and the engine didn't overheat. The only symptom before hand was that a few days ago the car momentarily felt a tiny bit juddery like the engine was mis-firing, but only lasted a few seconds. Any idea what this might be and what it might cost to repair? 😭.

If you mean the hold-down-unlock-all-windows-down thing, then yes!

Hi all, A while back the switch stopped working - it won't allow you to wind the window down (but it sounds like it still works for winding the window up as it makes a noise) How can I repair/replace the switch? Many thanks, Jim

HI All, My Octavia is in need of a good clean and it has some pretty stubborn black flecks that look like mould, particularly on the bonnet. What would you recommend from Halfords (all that's local to me) to try and remove and clean? There is also so green gunk when you open the doors. I don't want/have a pressure washer and don't want to spend a fortune on a foam sprayer!

Can you guys tell me if these are likely to be for the hatch or the estate? Seen some used rails online

Hey all, I have a 2016 Octavia III hatch. I want to take some bikes on holiday and as I don't wish to get a tow bar fitted, it looks like they've got to go on the roof. Which brand/type look/fit the best? Thanks J
