Need more detail for people to respond.

 

Esp. Engine type, size capacity. Mileage often useful background too.

 

What was their recommended fix and what parts?

 

Hi and thanks for reply:

Skoda Octavia MK 2

Engine 1.4- Petrol

Miles: 170,000 

had clutch replaced and garage advised some small leaks from engine breather?

Problems would seen engine running a little fast in idle?

I don't know if a pipe needs to change or do I need to buy breather unit

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Kind regards-Tony

Sounds like the Pcv unit and maybe the flex pipe connection. Would normally be a very DIY able job.  I don't know the 1.4 well so see what others post back. 

Hi Thank you for advice - flex pipe connection replaced - easy DIY job -

This has fixed the problem car is now running perfect-

 

I was advise to add fuel cleaner after clutch replaced by garage -

I filled tank with petrol added fuel cleaner/ just add to fuel tank - advice on bottle -quanity to add to tank ( Product Name: DIPETANE- fuel lubricant/engine cleaner /this is name of product sold here in Ireland)

I do not know name in of product sold in UK

Not expensive €10 EURO per bottle / approx  £8.50 UK Sterling.

 

I hope this of benefit to Skoda Octavia Car owners - please note you can use Product/DIPETANE in petrol or diesel cars/vans.
