patterdale666 1,620 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Im looking at a year 2000 octavia 1.6 petrol Just like to know do they give any major problems? Or are they reliable enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have the diesel 1.9SDi, good on fuel and just about big enough. Couldnt say much about the petrol one though, could be different but at the day of the day they are just cheap VWs which cant be a bad thing? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barryt128 4 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 no sure about the petrol ones but i am a mechanic at a local taxi firm and in my opinion skodas are one of the best motors on the road and im working on them everyday 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
