Hello everyone, 

 

Just thought id put a thread up to introduce myself, Im Graham, own a mk3 Octavia Vrs and what a machine!!!

I haven't had it long but I've got plans already for tinkering with the styling as well as the tuning along the line somewhere and hopefully the depth and knowledge on this page shall help wonders.

 

Look forward to interacting with everyone,

 

Graham

Hello GNS94 welcome to the Skoda forum good to have you with us keep us up to date with your progress .

Hi

 

I'm Andy, a Metallurgist and Senior Materials Engineer for ZF TRW Conekt, I am currently driving a 2011 Octavia 1.2 TSI SE.

 

Hello to all on this forum.

Hello Andy welcome along to the Skoda forum good to have you with us.

Hi everyone . I am new to forums so....Hello My name is frank and I own a Roomster 1600 diesel which travels the length and breadth of England,Ireland,Scotland,Wales and even France taking our showdog shelties to various venues .

We liked the first one so much that we bought another but.......The first one has thrown a wobbler now (must be jealous!) so I have asked for a little advice in the forums! I would be grateful to know if anyone else has had similar probs?

Cheers for now !

 

I have a Skoda 1600 diesel roomster(2012)  Which has suddenly lost performance  and dropped into "Limp Home" mode (20 mph approx)

I have so far consulted two excellent non- franchised dealers who both tell me that the cam alignment sensor and the exhaust re-burn/recycling valve have expired and will involve a cost of aprox £700 to £800 pounds to rectify!

Mileage is 133,000    with no major engine problems except a stripped sump plug thread on a recent service -all services carried out to the book!

On the in-car diagnostic on the dashboard the main indication seems to be a highlighted symbol of the glowplug which I feel is a major fuse failure in the engine compartment (fuse No 6 according to what references I can find) but this has allegedly been eliminated .

Can anyone give any further advice? ...My nearest dealership is over 50 miles away via th A1/Mi in Leeds

 

Cheers

Frank
