Re: Octavia Reliability

Following on from my previous post of faultless reliability, ive just had to replace the four pin engine temperature sender as it has put the engine light on. Still, at a cost of £22 from the local (friendly) dealer I cant really complain. The car continues to impress. Im also loving the grip of the 4x4 system in these cold frosty mornings.
