We had a very low mileage 1.8 Octavia in the other day for a service. Look at what we found under the engine cover.

WTF has he done,whats all that on the top of the engine!?

lol, Cat must need a flash update, Pix 2 & 3, are those little dark 'logs' rodent droppings then?

A little mouse nest, pictures 2 & 3 show some chewed wires and picture 4 shows the removed sound deadening from around the brake servo, with which they used to make the nest.

I saw on a TV programme a dead cat wrapped around the gear box...

VAG refer it as Marten damage (eurpoean rodent iirc) and just about every fault in the book itsays check for rodent damage first..lol.
