Engine

Engine 1.6.

An eight-smelted trouble-free engine with a simple design is similar to the 1.6 octavia engine of the first generation. Sometimes "float" by idle speed due to poor-quality fuels, contamination of the throttle of the engine or due to the incorrect firmware of the engine control unit. To replace the ignition candles in gasoline 1.6, either a special tool or removal of the intake manifold is required.

Engine 1.8 TURBO TFSI (TSI)

New generation engine with direct fuel injection. The gas distribution mechanism is equipped with a gear chain with a hydraulic tensioner. Precisely because of defect tensioner repeatedly fixed skipping chains, and because of which the engine overhauls may be required. The problem occurs despite the fact that the hydraulic tensioner is designed for the entire service life of the car. In the case of warranty repair, the manufacturer prescribes the engine to replace the entire engine. On all Skoda Octavia 2 cars, as well as Skoda Superb with a 1.8 turbo engine (160 hp) until 2010, inclusive prophylactically replace the hydraulic tensioner of the gas distribution mechanism to avoid engine damage. Sometimes on the engine valves 1.8 turbo, deposits preventing the complete closing of the valves are formed. In this case, the engine can lose compression, or the pistons can get to the valves, the result is needed to be repaired as the engine replacement. Possible causes: Low fuel quality, poor-quality oil or late replacement.

Diesel engines

Engine 1.9 - reliable, typical problems were not detected. Engine 2.0 diesel (140 hp) - air damper and valve recycling exhaust gases may fail (The engine error lights up on the panel, and the engine power decreases).
Transmission On gasoline versions with a manual transmission can froy the bearing of the primary shaft. Diagnostics of the presence of a problem: the presence of additional noise when the clutch pedal is released, the noise (ATTENTION! Similar symptoms when the clutch release bearing is malfunction). On diesel versions with a manual transmission during the mileage of about 150 thousand km, the clutch replacement is required together with the flywheel. The car "says" about the need to replace the clutch by the following symptoms: a metal sound at idle, and twitches are also possible in time. The cost of the flywheel with the clutch: is about 33 thousand rubles, the work on replacing the clutch flywheel takes from 6 to 7 hours (the retail price is indicated on January 18, 2012). Bibipeedia recommends monitoring the state of the anthem of the shruses, if during the time it does not replace the drunk boot, then the shoes fail.
Management and suspension system

Front suspension

The resource of the rear Silent blocks of the levers is about 60 thousand km, the front silent blocks about 90 thousand km.

Rear suspension

Rear suspension multi-dimensional with a sweeter effect, it is precisely due to a sublipping effect sometimes arises tarve the rear transverse steering (swelling levers). After replacing the twisted levers you want to make trouble-convergence. Until 2007 inclusive, to adjust the collapse of convergence, often required replacement of lower (transverse) levers The rear suspension (adjusting eccentrics that are responsible for the installation angle of the wheels "go fastened" and cannot be checked.
Brake system minimum Repair Cost Problems
Heated air and air conditioning Sometimes complete air conditioning compressor. Repair compressor is not subject to only replacement. Often the air conditioning control unit writes errors about the wrong position of the dampers, but this does not affect the performance of the air conditioning system.
Start and Charging System When running over 100 thousand km overlooking the generator overtaking coupling.
Electrical components and other The manufacturer recommends monitoring the firmware version of the control blocks (on Skoda Octavia 2 control units large quantities and periodically override firmware updates that provide higher reliability). A large number of cars are subject to service companies of free software updates in the event of an appeal to official dealers.

Hello. I have a Skoda Octavia 1.6Tei, CR Elegance 10 Combi. The cold engine works well, keeps 800 revolutions, when he is heated, starts to twitch and turns are the same, but it twigs. Could you tell me what could be the problem, why does it start working unevenly? When the engine starts after a couple of seconds the indicator lights the output of the lamps when the engine is heated, then this light bulb goes well and the engine begins to work unevenly.
