Hello all Octavia drivers and mechanics.
This is my first thread and I am not very technically educated where cars are concerned, so please excuse if I should state the obvious.
Recently I bought the Octavia and was shocked:aargh4: by the loud bang which accompanied the engine's stall n stop when I failed to have enough revs. in 2nd gear. My local Skoda dealer advises me that this would be normal:confused: for the Octavia having a D M flywheel and that I should maintain higher revs. to avoid 2nd gear stalling.
Why the loud bang and could I just increase the tick-over revs. to avoid this event?
Regards
