Just bought a new octavia scout last friday, as this is my 3rd octavia i needed no encouragement to purchace this beauty and so far it,s lived up to all expectations, cant wait to get it on the rough stuff, the only gripe so far is getting it into first gear first thing in the morning when the engine is cold, as soon as it,s warm i have no problem, I hope it,s just a glitch and i,ll keep an eye on this and hope it,s because it,s so new and will bed in after a few more miles go on the clock, will keep you all posted, has anyone had one of these 2.0 140 bhp tdi engines chipped as i do a thousand miles a week and could do with a way of getting more fuel efficiency if possible, i asked my main daeler and they say it doesn,t affect my warrenty[until it goes wrong]Anyway will give an update in a couple of weeks.

Welcome

Welcome :wave:

Welcome to briskoda, enjoy your new car.

Welcome

I have seen a couple about and they look sweet

I hope you've gone for the automatic waterwings option on the Scout BradfordBantem , remembering a certain attempt to float a Felica without success

Give me a call when you need rescuing off the rough stuff.

G7HeRPes, got a nice brand new engine after mine had 48,000 in 11 months from my little dip though care of direct line, protected bonus as well so not a bad deal, will have to get one of thoses exhausts they have on land rovers eh.

Cheers vRS len, it,s a lot of car for the money if it turns out do be as good off road as i,ve been told, lets see how much bottle i have when the time comes eh, had a guy in a volve xc 70 give me a thumbs up today so it,s getting noticed.

They look so nice, when I have followed a few they just look so right
