Goodbye MK4 Golf TDI - hello Octavia vRS

Hi guys,

James and Tracy here over from ukmkivs.

It's time to wave farewell to our beloved Golf and start afresh. Had a test drive of the vRS estate today. Loved it and we're ordering one this weekend.

We've been on this site looking at your posts, and the Skoda website looking at what comes standard against the list given to us by our local dealer. Some discrepancies but I'm sure we'll get it right.

We went for £2,100 worth of options in the end.

Anyway, I'm posting a question in a minute before immersing myself in more posts and topics on the new Octavia.

See ya

Welcome aboard.

I don't think you'll ever miss that Golf after driving the Octavia.

Loose bolts on camshaft pulley - Just a heads up

DB72 · 13 November, 20232 yr

Hi.... Just a bit of as heads up.... I got in my Superb 1.4 TSi 2018 (50,000 miles) on Friday night and the engine started making an almighty rattling / clattering / knocking noise. When I took it to a local indy garage the next day they said it sounds exactly like another Skoda they had in the previous week. The one they looked at before wasn't a Superb (can't remember which model they said), but it had done similar relatively low mileage and a bolt was loose at the camshaft p

Hi everyone. First off, apologies if this has already been covered. I did take a look but couldn't find anything specific. For history, it's a 13 plate TDI vrs Octavia (MK2) was rattling like a good un' so replaced clutch and flywheel (and slave cylinder) did do a SMFW conversion too. Turns out, that WAS a problem, but the gearbox is also shot, so that's on my list to replace next. Started and drove home fine that night. Next day, I drove it to work (about 20 minutes) no problems. On my way

Hi All, I'm new to the forum, this being my first post. I am loving the community so far. I have not long ago got a new to me 2016 Octavia Scout. ODBEleven is showing a P047000 'Exhaust Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit'. I did a little searching around has not found much about this exact fault code. Does any one know what the fault is or can point me in the right direction please?

Octavia II Gearbox Drain / Fill Plug

-mike- · Wednesday at 15:364 days

Hey all, Managed to get under my partners car at the weekend to service it and change the oil. Whilst there I was quite taken by how clean the engine was, but there was a patch of what looked like oil on the undertray. This was later discovered to be coming (I believe) from the gearbox drain plug. The car has had a new clutch, flywheel and replacement box in the last twelve months and so I can only assume there's an issue with the drain plug or a seal. Looking really closely at the drain plug
