I have owned no end of VW's, I started looking to replace my petrol bora with a derv. Upon viewing a 1.9tdi bora which may or may not have sold an octavia estate caught my eye. Night straight car, i'd never consdiered skodas before but having had a good prod around in this I found it had nearly all the toys that my bora has. I snapped it up and have been loving it for the month since.

 

Its had a few of the usual faults, boot light, dash mfa rests and I have the hot start problem. other than the hot start ive got them all sorted and she had a good service and a timing belt.

 

Does the TDi red lettering carry over to skoda?

 

As I understand it mine is a 90hp but I have TDi which in VW terms would be a 110hp wouldnt it?

 

Its an Octavia Estate GLX TDi

Welcome.

 

I think it's TDI = 110hp  TDI = 130hp

Hi and welcome aboard.

Cheers for the replies. On parkers the estate GLX is listed as 90hp but my car has got the red i so i havent a clue. I guess the engine code will tell all. Where would i find it?
