hi guys im looking at upgrading my little fabia to an octavia but i want to run it on biodiesel and been told they have a pd engine and its no good for bio . but was told that not all have the pd engine so how would i know is there an easy way of checking cheers lads

it'll be an SDi not a TDi, lack of turbo and it will tell you on the V5 I think.

Does this help??

Mk2 Octavia diesels either use the PD or CR engine both have the NO BIO DIESEL sticker on the inside of the filler cap flap.

The only possibility for running an octavia on bio diesel is to get a SDI.

Which means you need a mk1 octavia, as the sdi was not available in the mk2. However they built mk1 classic spec octavias with sdi engines well after the mk2 came out.......kind of a taxi spec model.

thanks all for the info
