Hi all,

 

I'm going to buy another Skoda soon, I have a budget of preferably under 2.5k and want either a Fabia or Octavia (had an excellent 08 Fabia with a pd105 before but crashed it). I'm looking for something no older than 2008 and preferably under 100k miles but well maintained. 

 

My issue is I'm worried about what year they started fitting DPF's, I've read that no 1.9s had them and also that some do. I'd like to to as 'new' as possible age wise but to avoid the DPF. 

 

Does anyone have any specific wisdom about this issue? 

 

Also, If anyone is selling something like that, let me know, I may be interested.. 

I'm not aware that any 1.9s had a DPF - only 1.6's and the 2.0CR and 2.0 D's in the older vRS, 4x4 and Scout...

 

An easy check is look for 7GG on the three code options sticker in the handbook or on the boot floor panel.

Lovely, thanks for that. I've seen a couple of very nice looking fabia estates darn sarth...
