Well for a skoda Octavia vrs with only 34000 on the clock on an '03' plate ive had this done already!!!

First i lost power on the motorway as i increased the acceleration she wouldnt go over 80mph and i looked to the engine temp and was just shy of being in the red!!

Result

Plastic inpellers on water pump had disintigrated, replaced water pump, replaced with metal impeller pump.

Incurring the loss of the water pump i had to have the cam belt replaced although this had been changed at 27000.

Related to the above trouble shooting the temp sensor was also replaced.

Thirdly, a new sump cover.

Only today i picked up 3 fault codes 17705,17524,17511.

Proposed result tomorrow will be:

A new hose from the turbo and the throttle body cleaned to sort out the 17705.

A new lamba sensor to sort out the 17524,17511 codes.

It has crossed my mind to get rid after this but ive only had it since november and i think the previous owner saw what was coming and had the same idea??

Should it stay :Dor should it go:mad:.........But i want more pleasure out of the beast!!!

Had my beast back today £195.00 above codes wiped out with the above proposed result and hey there is no splutter???????or hesitation and increased power....... She is staying for now!!!

The hose from the turbo to the cooler was the improved version part no PN 06A 145 790C..
