|  Octavia MK2 I will be picking up a 55 plate octavia 1.9 105 PD classic estate with 64K tomorrow, Having owned a Superb that my wife now has and it covered 190K before she took it over. What problems should I check for with the octavia, The superb did between 45 and 70 MPG sometimes more  what could I expect with this one.Have the gearboxes been sorted?? I know the MK1 SDI took a dislike to them What are the timing belt change intervals If you could try and let me know today it would be apreciated |

| Briskodian | Re: Octavia MK2 problems to look for... wheel bearings windscreen de-lamination small electric faults(cigar lighter, rear windows, airbag warning light) make sure radio is "re-flashed" else battery drain used to get about 55 @ 70mph on a run...(half laden, good tyre pressures) 50 at about 85mph( in europe, of course! ;-) ) 40 -45 over all (town and country) Last edited by Chugger; 06-07-2008 at 22:45.
