The Bentley diagram that's floating around on the web is almost correct for the AUQ engine but is missing an extra port that our engine has on the inlet manifold.

I've been mucking about with the diagram for a while trying to understand how everything fits together so thought I'd share in case it helps anyone

It's interesting that most of the stuff that's coloured can be removed from the engine with no ill effects!

i must say, ive seen this diagram a lot. love the colour coding.

is there any more of these pictures that you have up your sleeve?

Thanks Rob, will be printing this off when I'm in work tomorrow

That is the same diagram - ie Connecting diagram for charge pressure control - as is in the official Skoda Octavia Workshop Manual for the 1.8l/132 kW engine - Mechanical Components - Edition 03.01. You have done well in clarifying that diagram, Rob. Definitely worth printing off in case it disappears in some future development of our site.

It almost is! Apart from Skoda got the suction spray pipework wrong! Rob has just corrected it.

I've got the proper workshop manual too.

where do you get these proper worshop manuals from?

do they have lots of useful pics in like the above?

Thanks Rob, they're brilliant.

Quick question as I'm pretty inexperienced at car mechanics. I know the basics but thats all and some of the discussions on the forum might as well be in a foreign language!! Can anyone recommend a good book or web resource that is an introduction to car mechanics in general (including turbo charged engines) so I can try to understand a little more! I want to avoid being told a load of sh*te by mechanics on the small off chance my car ever has to visit a garage for anything other than routine servicing. Thanks.

I got bored a few weeks ago at work and did this.

I sure you don't need half the pink thats still there!

The Haynes manual for the Skoda Octavia is a good start, there is a glossary at the back (as there are in all Haynes manuals) which gives good general explanations of various things. And the servicing section at the front will talk you through some of the simpler jobs like replacing an air filter or doing an oil change, even that will save you a bit of money over paying a garage to do it.

Second that the book saved me £100 which a rip off merchent wanted for putting rear springs on, only took me 20mins a side

Mine now looks like this:

i must add, mine is pretty much close to that as well!!!

Thanks for the tip on the Haynes manual, got one ordered from Amazon.

Which manual?

This : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Octavia-Petrol-Diesel-Service-Repair/dp/184425285X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283954976&sr=8-1

Or;

They're both the same - go for the cheaper one.

The only models they don't cover are 4x4s. One of the example cars in there is a VRS as well which is quite handy
