2005 SKODA OCTAVIA 1.9TDI POV 1.1

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Mine is a manual 2004 90 hp 265,000 km/165,000 m; I replaced pads and discs, alternator and suspension bushes and front shocks. EGR deleted. Cam belt will be done next week. Slight roof rail leak sealed with silicone. V tiny bits of rust on rear wheel arch but underneath is clean. Mechanics love it because it is sooooo easy to work on and with regular maintenance the engine WILL continue well in excess of 500,000 km/310,000 m. There are thousands of them on the road so they're not expensive to buy a good one and the parts are cheap and easily available. It has a massive hatch back space with the rear seats folded. I've put all-season tyres on so it's quite secure on poor surfaces. Although it's a dull heavy car, it can be quite amusing to hustle its bulk through tight corners and it takes a hell of a lot to get any noise out of the tyres! It'll easily do 17-18 kpl/50 mpg on a long steady drive. Not the quietest car but nice firm seats mean long distances (northern England to southern France) are very comfortable. Easily one of the best cheap vehicle solutions on the market.

I want one of these.. I have wanted one for a couple of years.. Wish I would've gotten one now xD.

[@wheelerd02]

Everything above I can agree with. Also have a 2004 ALH 90hp 5 speed manual. 94hp and 205nm when taken to a rolling road 3 out of 4 window regulators replaced now. EGR delete & 2.5" turbo back decat exhaust Regular 55/60mpg tanks driving gently. Utterly transformed my driving once I got this car. An itch I wanted to scratch for a long time and have no regrets

Best Choice as first Car, bought mine 18 Months ago with 260k km and still working very fine

[@bidule71]

I bought mine 2 weeks ago and its my first car. 348k km and well revised, your comment confirm my choice. Thx

[@complaininggameryt]

The engine is unkillable if you take care of it :)

I bought Scout 2008 (2.0 tdi, 103 kW) as a second car. 226k km now (i bought it and it had 168 k km) and it’s still ok. My target is a 400k km. We’ll see😂

Where did you get this steeringwheel? First time ever, I have seen a multifunctional in an Octavia, ever.

[@ChillDrive]

Anders Nielsen it’s from a factroy with this wheel.

[@propanbutan4634]

True I never seen one

[@ChillDrive]

Propan Butan this Škoda was specal: it even had electric adjustable seats :))

[@davidk3290]

Hey, is the car well protected from the outdoor sounds? Is it loud inside the cabin at high speed? I would also like to know if the audio system is any good. Thanks :)

[@ChillDrive]

really good comment, because the sound proof is really poor. If you usually drive faster than 120km/h you would really start to think about extra soundproof (i guarantee). audio quality is ok as this segment car. All in all, it's a good, reliable car.

[@philje123]

I found it fairly quiet even at high speeds. I had an elegance model. It has carpet in the wheel arches so there is little noise driving in the wet. I found tyres made a massive difference. The factory Bridgestone tyres were super noisy compared to the Goodyear's I fitted. The stereo is OK but I noticed a huge improvement when I fitted the Columbus Sat-nav (RNS 510) as I think it has a better amplifier.

[@FelixSVW07]

Can you tell me why you closed the Ventilators besides the emergency light Button?

[@ChillDrive]

Do not like when it “blows” to the face haha

[@MrWWEHD17]

How reliable the automatic gearbox is? Do you still have this beautiful car? :)

[@ChillDrive]

Yeah, still using as a daily :) It’s already 300k km on odometter and gearbox works just fine.

[@ChillDrive]

@@vincentjay7429 i do not know was it or not changed before. I wasnt the first owner. But i did with this car more than 50k km and gearbox worked fine. Anything i did with a gearbox - changed oil. But yes, i cannot guarantee that owner before didin’t do smth.

[@Unknown36vpd]

A real tdi sound

[@boredtomato2167]

Is it a comfortable ride ? Does it feel like a heavy vehicle like audi a4 ? Would you suggest that i buy it as my first car ? Any Opinions are highly apreciated . Have a nice day!

[@ChillDrive]

Bored Meatball i think as a first car it would be really good choise: good fuel cinsumption, reliable and not expensive service. I do not like audi (lol), so not even comparing. Haha

Hello author. Interested in mileage cars? Laurin & Klement - your car equipment?

[@ChillDrive]

Hi, not sure what do you mean “mileage cars” :/ About this one: it’s without L&K badges, so I guess no :)))

[@motonomi9970]

have any dsg issues during your usage?

[@ChillDrive]

mOTOnomi with this car made only 7000km, odometter shows 295k. - at the momment all works good.

[@ranerohit1205]

Greetings from India . How many miles on your car? Is it a reliable vehicle?

[@ChillDrive]

Nice to see that there are viewers from India! Car is very reliable, at the momment 290k km (180k miles) on odometter

[@Dokker62]

This particular model based on Golf V-platform is one of the most cost effecient cars, furthermore the 1.9/105hp tdi probably the most reliable engine VW-group came up with in recent years. Used ones on the market today commonly come along with milages like 250.000, 300.000 frequently even 400.000 km (~ 250.000 mls.). MPG is about 30 - 40 depending of driving mode

[@georgem3142]

Helo!Is this engine good enough for this car?

[@philje123]

Yes. On paper it doesn't seem powerful (105ps) but in the real world it has plenty of torque. I've driven many times without issue at high speeds on the German Autobahn.

[@catalin1140]

in the video fuel consumption seems pretty high...

[@kampfmeersau]

Automatic transmission

[@alenanikitina5929]

DSG or TipTronic and how many speeds?

[@ChillDrive]

Alena Nikitina DSG 6 speed

[@alenanikitina5929]

@@ChillDrive hmm that's sad. DSG never had the reliability of a classic torque converter automatic. Especially parking is a pain with DSG

[@ChillDrive]

Alena Nikitina maybe sad for you my friend, but i like dsg way more than tiptronic :)))

[@alenanikitina5929]

@@ChillDrive it's nice to drive no question, but the cost when it breaks down are just outrageous

[@philje123]

The 6 speed as actually very reliable. It uses dual clutches that are lubricated with oil so last a very long time. This also make parking easy as they can slip more compared to the dry clutches of 7 speed. Just as long as the gear oil and filter is changed as per the schedule there should be no issues.

[@Muckelavee]

Can you make a new video with a Mercedes(w210 or w211)? Thanks😀

[@terciomoniz2271]

Automatic GearBox?? Manual is much better, hug from Portugal 😉🏁

[@ChillDrive]

I am getting old (lol) and more prefer automatic. When the engine is weak like this one, you don't have to shift a lot (haha). And you know... It's XXI century, car is not for fun drives, so automatic helps to do more stuff just driving. Hug from Lithuania, thanks for a nice comment!

[@Dokker62]

VW manuals are definitely not better than a proper dsg. Volkswagen didn't make any fine shifting manual gearbox so far and probably never will.

[@hopkin2006]

I'm sorry, I prefer automatic, and thanks for making this video.
