Hi Folks

Just a quick note to say Hi to everyone and introduce myself

I registered on Briskoda a few months ago and was blown away by the amount of information and help available - it's fantastic

This is my first ever post so I hope you will forgive any etiquet errors

I have been into the VAG range of vehicles for as long as I can remember - starting with a 1963 VW Beetle way back in 1981 - but my current car is my first Skoda

It's an Octavia Classic 1.9 diesel with mega miles on it

But I love it and I hope it'll be economical to run

I do all my own maintenance - having spent 6 years at Tech studying Automotive engineering I don't really have an excuse not to.

All of my previous vehicles have had very limited on-board electronics so the Octavia will be a new experience for me.

I have already picked up several tips from the forum and I'm very interested in the VAGCOM system - as far as I can tell it looks like a must have tool.

Anyway - I hope that's not too long and I look forward to contributing to the Briskoda community

Bob

Hello and Welcome.

Just how many miles counts as mega-miles for an Octavia?

I've seen a MKI SDi on a 01/Y that has done 380k when I last saw it and that was 2 years ago. I think it's still being used as a cab.

Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome

Perhaps my mileage at 203K is not mega compared with 380K but it is compared with the 78K ford I traded in for it - silly I know but I hated that ford.
