Hi all. Just bought an Octavia estate 2008 2.0 tdi pd Laurin and Klement (BKD engine code). Has done 115k miles but seems in super condition. I'm new to diesel driving so I need a few tips. When should I change up? Is it bad to let the car chug along at low revs? It is a 6 speed manual so what is the best town gear? What mpg can I expect? Cheers.

Big ish car but should be 40s around town easy. It should be comfortable pulling around in either gears around 2k and changing up around 3k upto 3750 ish really.

Behaviour is different depending on whether its had std ecu file changed which i doubt urs has.

Welcome btw

I recently bought a used 2024 (built 2023) diesel Octavia Vrs. Although my phone - Motorola G9play - shows on the Skoda website as compatible with the infotainment system, I have been unable to link the phone after multiple attempts. Has anyone had this as an issue and found a solution?

ODB port not connecting to scanner
Skoda Fabia Mk2 (2007-2014)

ODB port not connecting to scanner

cjmason88 · 27 October, 202527 Oct

I have a 2010 Fabia 1.2 and the ODB port isn't playing ball. Tried 2 different scanners and they both fail to auth with the ECU. I initially thought it might be a bad fuse so I replaced num 22, didnt change a thing. Slipped the port out of the dash and made sure that the wires are fully seated in the connector, no change. I've tried with electrics on and also engine on, doesn't make a difference. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to look for next?

I used a copy of this MSTD_EU_SK_P6230 MU0490 if anyone else needs, the site I think I had it from was mibsolution.one is currently down though. I was wary of the copy I had and passage of time, but it worked fine installed, I just have to clear the fault code ( have odbeleven but pro ran out and doesn't cover the adaption by looks of it) Excuse the state of my interior I don't use the car that much and could use a vaccuum.
