Hi...I bought my 2001 Octavia Elegance TDi Estate on Wednesday from Pete at work. Pete was buying another Octavia!! What a car! The father in law is jealous and he's got a Merc!

Fom all the people I've spoken to there still seems to be an issue with "the badge". However, they soon change their minds when I say "

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?

Walnut Blasting: is it worth it?

peagreenblade · Friday at 22:021 day

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. I've read a lot about Walnut Blasting to remove carbon buildup. Would it be worth it in my case or is the mechanic right, and I should just

Having problems with Kamiq

Ssssstevo · 25 May25 May

Hi, Bought my Kamiq in January from Arnold Clark on PCP. It’s a 1 ltr automatic. Loved the test drive etc so signed the dotted line. Been having issues. I’ve had a knocking noise from the roof, with the infotainment display switching on and off at the same time. Random juddery downshifts. When I reverse while holding the brake, it starts jumping about. Seems like it’s one thing after another. I’m a few months in and I’m at my wits end with the thing. Any idea wots wrong / advice please ?

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again
