2010 Octavia VRS TFSI DSG Black - £900 [WIP]

Hi,

I'll be adding more info and pics etc as I get them sorted (plus service history as much as I can find).

Make & Model: Skoda Octavia VRS 2010 TFSI DSG
 

Colour: Black

Mileage: 146,000 (and increasing)

Price: £900 ono (quick sale preferred)
 

Description:

Chain tensioner and turbo done around 2019 (lacking receipts for this). I've been driving this around for the last year or so with some kind of gearbox/differential bearing issue. Still pulls well.

had a light bump in july 2025 - bumper repaired to a professional standard.

Let's start with the issues (in order of severity)
Gearbox or differential bearing is making noise - you also get weird vibration/noise at between 2600 and 3000 rpm.

slight misfire whilst the engine is cold with idle/very light throttle - problem is less pronounced in DSG manual mode.

Turning the steering wheel can sound a bit like popcorn if you're stood still.

Oil Consumption: Yes Nothing crazy but running 5w40 it's a hell of a lot better than with 5w30.

Car has been known to stall when braking once every few months (releasing brake and re-applying quickly stops it stalling).

Rear driver's side window - motor sound but not moving (suspect snapped cable).

Aside from these issues I think it's fairly sound, pulls well and is on the original clutch and DMF still.

Car is insured until Nov. 16th, but Ideally I'd want it gone by the end of the month.
