My Latest New Car

[THE_Liam]

Bloody engine management light came on today while I was taking it for it's first proper ragging! Apparently it's a very common problem on Octavias, they have crap sensors that fail a lot, but more often then not you plug them into VAGCOM and there's no codes, and then start it back up to find the light has gone out, but combined with the fact that it's taking a while to warm up from cold I reckon it's the thermostat or coolant temp sensor, or maybe both. Gonna see if I can get the dealer to take care of it but I doubt it, cheap parts though so not a problem if they won't. Ordered a code reader as well off eBay, apparently this issue comes up a lot...
