Hello, new poster from staffs here - possibly with the highest mileage 56 plate octavia??? 

I have a 2006 Octavia Ambiente 2.0, 285k and took delivery of it in Nov 2006 and had it ever since, lovely car and will more than likely get a new octavia when this eventually dies!

 

 

Welcome to the forum!.

 

I'm guessing its a diesel??, and i was concerned that mine was almost at 130k.

Hi, yes it's the TDI 140. 130k! Wow it's just a baby.

Keep servicing it using 507.0 oil and make sure you leave the turbo to spool for 1 minute after a hard drive to prolong the life of the turbo.

You got the diesel too?

Yeah, the PD 140. Running a stage 1 remap at the moment too, fantastic when you want a bit of fun but still economical when you don't. I'm keeping her until she goes bang, so hopefully i'll be driving her for a while yet.

Crikey! I thought the 140 was nippy - bet your enjoying the remap.

My octiblob (family name) is completely standard and I even have the brochure that I chose it from with my scribbling in it!

Mine was standard for the first 3 years of ownership, then i fancied more power and have gone from there.

Brett you need a build thread!

I doubt very much people will be interested in my small amount of mods.

Hi and welcome aboard.
