Said goodbye to the 2010 Octavia Combi 1.6 tdi Elegance after 26 months and 70,000 miles. :'(

During the time I owned it:

average mpg 54 (actual)

Three variable services (ave £200 each)

One set of Continetal Sport contact 2's (£300 fitted) Rears changed at 48,000 due to a puncture, fronts changed at 50,000 miles

1 set of wiper blades

2 headlamp bulbs

1 number plate bulb

Less than a litre of top up oil in 70k

I hope the replacement is as good as this car was.

So, what is the replacement? Sounds like your Octavia was a faithful, reliable and cheap servant.

It's a Skoda Octavia 1.6cr Elegance combi with the DSG box this time.
