Hi Everyone,

I've found this great website today and I am amazed at the huge amount of Skoda related info that can be found on Briskoda.

Yesterday I've purchased Octavia 1.9 TDi 2002 (77k miles) Elegance hatchback in Stone Grey from the Trader for just under £3k.

Previously I had '98 SLX Red for a while, but I'm newbie

to all tech stuff.

My new car seems to be fine apart from dead coolant temp gauge, but I found lads of tips for this one.

The guy who was selling the car to me said that this model hasn't got the cam belt but chain instead, when I asked him about it.

Can anyone confirm if there is a chain or cam belt please?

Would I be able to get this kind of information if I call Skoda Service?

Late 2002 Octavia Elegance 1.9 TDi 81KW ASV Engine

Thanks.:confused:

Yes it has a belt on it , no chin

Also I would suggest looking at the coolant temp sensor for the other problem

Your engine has a cambelt and I'd suggest if it hasn't been done already you should make arrangements to get it done.

Welcome to the forum. You'll find lots of helpful people in the Octavia section who can help with questions.

Anyone with more than one car ?

vRSAnt · Sunday at 20:124 days

Well strange predicament due to dads age and alzheimers diagnosis he shifted his car to me. Pretty damn nice car 1.8T DSG 2014 less than 20k, packed with as much as mine has and more besides like adaptive cruise, folding mirrors. Not sure I need 2 though longer term tho....useful for now though as my petrol vRS similar vintage really could do with a clutch <80k miles so I am grateful for it regardless ! Not exactly the slow option either, obviously not quite as good as a 2.0T but better eco

The Elroq was only released in October in AU and we bought the first one from the dealer after driving a pre release vehicle back in July Wife's new Elroq 130 2 weeks old has an "interesting problem" Love the car but the Au importers appear to have stripped out some feature to maybe save a few $$(Of course not, would they?) We have a 13kw solar array currently and 20kw battery bank about to be installed however currently using the supplied 2.4kw wall charger 240VAC @10A The problem: We have be

Superb sportline

Murrayman · Tuesday at 05:322 days

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 2021 Superb S EL. Fantastic car, very comfortable. I’m thinking of ordering a new Superb Sportline. Has anyone driven both these trims and can tell me how to compare for comfort ? I recently tried an Octavia Sportline and it was too firm for me. Every bump was felt in contrast to my Superb. I’m hoping the Superb Sportline will be ok with the DCC in comfort mode but it does have large wheels. I realise I should really get another S EL but the Sportline looks nicer in
