Hi, name is Michael from Newcastle in the UK. Bought my first Skoda in July 2019 and it is probably the nicest car I've owned (not hard with a history of Vauxhalls). I went for the TDI option due to doing motorway miles for work and had less problems historically with diesels over petrol but perhaps it's been bad luck...

Prepping to do 2.0TSi clutch in future, rear main seal ?

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

I have a 12 year old Skoda Octavia mk3 TSI 1.4 with 155000 miles on the clock. It has JUST scraped through its MOT after repeated emissions failures due to carbon buildup. The mechanic has told me he doesn't want to see the car back next year as it won't pass again and cleaning the carbon deposit off wouldn't be worth it given the age and value of the car.

It will pass to a new owner with full service history (Independent Vasstechnik in Eastbourne who are just great with all VW group cars). I've left
