Hello, I'm looking at a 2012 Skoda Octavia VRS TDI cr dsg with 90 on the clock .

 

columbus nav , leather , sunroof, maxi dot. 

 

I have a few question need all you help please 

 

CEGA engine code any issue DPF ?

sunroof good or bad? 

Nav any issues?

Woould you buy another one ?

 

I currently have a Jetta 2008 and the older bkd 

 

ANY HELP BE APPROPRIATE 

It has a DPF and would have been subject to the infamous emissions recall, so check this hasn't been done as it leads to many reported problems with EGR, DPF etc.

Sunroof's are prone to blocked drain tubes apparently, easy to fix but can lead to damp carpets.

Columbus is pretty good but not all came with Bluetooth or DAB so don't just expect these to be present. Would probably benefit from a map update after 6 years but they are not cheap.

Full leather and maxi dot are nice additions as well and yes I'd have it if it was what I was in the market for.

I checked with the local Skoda dealer today and told it’s outstanding.. 

 

it do about 12k a year is this going to cause any issues with dpf? 

Shouldn't do, like I say the CR is much better on the DPF providing it's not had the emissions recall done. My BMM engine used to do 20k per year which has now dropped to 8k in last couple of years and even on 178k it doesn't cause any DPF problems.

How long do dpf last for?

All depends on type and style of driving. Lots of start stop city driving can shorten the life, whereas all motorway miles might see it last for years. Like I say mine is at 11 years and 178k miles and is showing no problems currently (50/50 town/city driving)

I have a 2012 vRS CR DSG that has done 50K miles. In the last 2 years less than 7K/annum. No DPF problens.
