Hi Guys, I have a 1.9 Tdi 105bhp Octavia estate. At low revs on slightly rougher roads i can hear a very very annoying rattle / vibration. coming from the front of the car, either in the dash or engine. I presume it happening a higher revs but i can not hear it then. The rattle sounds like a very thin piece of aliminium or plastic vibrating. I have taken everything out the car thinking it was internal but no luck, emptied all compartments including the glove box. some details on the car:- No mods I dont tinker or play with he car coming up to 50k miles car is a 2009 (09) plate Only solution at present is turning the stereo up but its worrying me Thanks in advance for any help guys

Hi Kevin, i have emailed the general email address for you guys before i saw this thanks anyway

Paul, I am just down the road from you in Newtown, am i right in thinking yours is a forest green yeti ?? We have used Faintree garage for years but i feel there servicing costs are just so expensive. have you tried the place in Oswestry?

Hi There, Does anyone else have problems with the search section on the Jabba sport website? everytime i use it i search my octavia estate but it keeps resetting the search fields to default every time i search?

Hey guys, need two bits of advice really. just bought a bargain felicia but needs a bit of TLC to bring it upto scratch. Firstly, There is some slight rust on the wheel arches. I remember my dad having a set of rubber protectors which went on every arch to hide / protect against rust. I beleive they glued on and were about 2 inches high off the arch. any idea where i can get these or anyone got a set they wish to sell? secondly, At some point a previous owner as had the engine over heat and although the engine is fine there are large patches on the bonnet where the lacquer as come off. whats the best cheap thing to do with this? find an item which will strip the rest of the lacquer off and T Cut the bonnet up? or Buy some aerosol lacquer from Halfords, clean off the lose lacquer and spray this on and hope the best (i know it wont be perfect) all thoughts welcommed Daz

not sure on the name its something to do with the wiring between the ECU and the Coil, mine would start and run for a few seconds then cut out and sometimes would not start at all. If you left it for long periods it would start and run fine then soon as you stop it would cut out and not start

had problem with my Favorit, Check the sensor which tells the Ecu hoe to start the engine, On the Favorit it is located just in front of the Dip stick

You lot are quite harsh, I use my local " Fast Fit " place and it is brilliant. On about my 6th set of tires with them and never had a problem

clearly says on Autocar that prices are likely to be £15,000 -----> £23,000

it all depends how you drive them to be hinest and all cars are different. If i drove my old Fabia Sdi at around 50 on a long run i coould get 70 mpg

yeah but for some reason my dads was very fast, would do 115mph

craig easy to decide. If you want to sit at 40 - 50 mph on your own in a car to commute then a Sdi is ideal. you will easily get 60 mpg If you want to do 60mph, pull up and over take slower moving taffic than a Tdi is needed. still get 55 mpg as well
