Hi All 

 

Does anyone know which skoda octavia mk 3 models and years were effected by the dq200 problems and from which year / model the fix came in? 

 

Is it likely to have been resolved under warranty if buying a second hand car. 

 

Tried to Google but couldn't find a good web page to explain. 

 

Posted in mk 3 forum but guess it's more a mechanic question. 

 

Many Thanks in Advance 

They are in the main OK. 

Far better on a 1.0 / 1.2 TSI than on some others.  OK with 1.4 TSI Octavia. Not that reliable with a 1.6 TDI,  IMO & IME.

There was and is no fix.

 

There was a World Wide Recall 2012 on DQ200's 2009-2012, this excluded Europe that got a Service Campaign in 2014.  '34F7'. Change Synthetic oil to Mineral & a Software update.

 

So 2013-2015 interests you.   Service Campaign '34H5' a Software Update started 2017 on some cars, 2013-2015. this was a preventative campaign because of pressure / heat issues.

 

Then 2015 on there were TPI's clutch upgrades and software updates for some.

Then some with MCU issues from that time.     

From 2018/19 they are better, we will see how they are at 5 year old when they get to 5 years old.
