Morning folks, on the way into work this morning my car has started playing up, it's a 2006 petrol octavia vrs. What it's doing is idling low about 600-700 rpm and sort of chugging away then it'll rev slowly upto 1500-2000 rpm, hold it there for a few seconds then drop back down, repeats when stood still.

When driving it seems fine.

Any idea please? I meant to be going away in it tomorrow morning for the bank holiday weekend!

Have the coil packs been replaced yet under recall

I haven't got the foggiest. I've only just brought the car a few months ago and wasn't aware of a recall!

Check out the service book, it should be detailed in there.

When was the recall? Is this something I can get done still if it hasn't been done?

Here you go read this ring your dealer he will know if it has been done on yours if you give your reg http://www.briskoda....87#entry2352387

28F7 re-call replace all 4 ignition coils .ring them and tell them this recall

Thanks for the fast replies folks, very helpful. Is this a problem that will worsen if I do a long distance the weekend?

If it is that will get undrivable . Get them rung, will cost nothing

Booked in for new coils, although after speaking to a mechanic there he reckons my problem may be air flow related, either a meter or an air leak

I am sure they will do a free diagnostics, they usually do, and might find a hose gone, if you are pally with the mechanics they should find it for you , then a split hose is not much, if the car feels "flat" your diverter valve has a tear in it so wasting boost, a revision one is around £50 , whens the work being done?

Week on wednessay

Or even Wednesday
