Dear fellow drivers, time to say goodbye to my Skoda Octavia 2.0TDi Mk2, first reg 2007 .

 

For nearly 10 years, 100k miles it took me through to all corners of GB. A very reliable companion, not fussy and quite powerful too!

We did have some special moments together replacing the EGR, rear wiper motor, installing various Bluetooth and camera hacks, peek at the OBD port with Torque, upgrade to the ultimate Chinese Android head-unit and debugging the parasites with the ampmeter during the pandemic.

 

But the car is 15 years old now, the service book is now at the last page and maintenance costs start to compare to it's total value.

With regret I will sell the car, but - yaay! - I got a younger Octavia Mk3 FL which can't wait to go on the road!

 

I got some valuable help on the forum and didn't give much back so thank you!

 

See you on the Mk3 forum

ours is two years younger but has done 116k miles but I hope to get a few more years out of it yet, all cars cost money to run unfortunately,  good luck with the mkiii
