| Re: My Magic Black Octavia TDI! Thnx Ppl! 54 Plate-118,000 Miles!  Anyone have any idea if you can just plug and play with the rear door speakers? Just done the oil and filter with Millers PD, fuel filter and airfilter. Runs sweet as a nut  Reconditioned box as part of the deal with the dealer..few things still need attention....but as of now its cheaper than the vaux omega! |

| Re: My Magic Black Octavia TDI! Welcome aboard ... View the mileage as a good sign of reliability. It's only been able to clock up lots of miles if it's been in constant use, i.e. not sat in a garage waiting to be fixed. Good colour too, nice & menacing.

Quick question...at night if i go through the gears down a sliproad away from a car it gushes smoke....i assume its only fuel being burnt. But could a clogged intake manifold create more smog than normal? | |

Clogged intake manifold is unlikely, you'd notice a big drop in performance. Try using a tank or two of Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate OR get a bottle of Miller DieselSport 4 to add to your fuel; either or both of these will help clean the fuel system and get the car running sweeter.

| Re: My Magic Black Octavia TDI! I have the same one a 55 plate with 64k bought for £4,800. If a car is following you at night you will notice some smoke if your accelerating hard. BTW what was wrong with the gearbox I thought the ones on the MK2 where bulletproof???? |

I've a split breather to intake pipe, currently bodged together with a jubilee clip to see if it would pass some gasses at least. Going to the dealers at the weekend for a replacement. Reason ive asked is that from some ppls experiences they have had deposits build in the intake manifold. Like the pics here http://www.myturbodiesel.com/images/...keremoval8.jpg http://www.myturbodiesel.com/images/.../cloggedim.jpg The gearbox had been run low on oil and with worn out engine/gearbox mount...and wear had occured. Allowing the car to pull its self out of gear in overrun in 1st. | |

| Re: My Magic Black Octavia TDI! Apparently the 1st and 3rd gear shaft was excessively worn...with some slop in it....under load nothing could be heard. No whining, but did seem to snatch at 3rd gear when selecting it. The car dealer said they would repair the gearbox and engine mounts inclusive in the price along with a few other niggles with the car. So far i've done about 340miles in the car and its been a gem to drive...i cant believe the ride on very bumpy rotherham roads. Just soaks it up, but when you shove it into a bend it sticks like glue compared to the Astra Coupe Turbo i had. |
