Sorry random question but I was wondering how long oil will last in the tin in my garage. I brought 5 litres of longlife oil for my mk1 Octavia 110 tdi in 2008 but only needed to use about 400ml at the time and the tin went back into my garage. I've just brought a 2012 Octavia vrs cr170 and was wondering if I can use the oil for top-ups between services? Thanks

Sorry not trying to be pushy but I'm going to need to top up this morning before leaving the house. Any ideas anyone? I might try posting the same question in the Octavia section.

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away

One is the reversable boot floor, carpet one side and a sort of plastic the other. Both items are in great condition too Second is a rear sun screen, it's a mesh material in a metal frame that you clip inside the hatch window, it keeps out a ton of heat and you can take it out for winter, you can't see into the car also. My 280 had tinted side windows but the rear glass was not done. Both are huge and would be prohibitively awkward to post. If you want either you WILL need to come to Swindon.

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · 12 hours ago12 hr

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

2.0l TSI engines: what should I be looking out for AWD vehicles approaching 100k?

Sinbad1900 · 31 May31 May

Hoping to purchase a 2.0l TSi Sportline/Laurin & Klement variant at some point soon. My budget may result in me seeking out a vehicle with 95K onwards on the clock. I’ll be only considering something with a full comprehensive service history. My understanding is that I shouldn’t worry about cam chain tensioners as they go on and on. But do they? So is there anything I should really looking out for? Thanks

Hi All, My car has come back from the dealer today after having both the OCU (0311) and Infotainment (1989) updated. On previous versions of infotainment I had the road sign display enabled in the navigation as I don't have the traffic sign recognition feature on the car. I found it quite a useful feature. As the OCU had been updated I had to log back into the car and set myself as primary user, etc. The road sign display was never on by default. However, on 1989 I cannot find any option in th
