I drove the car, worried about weak brakes and slow acceleration. On a cold idle engine, nothing shakes, works evenly.
So what are you still thinking about?

This plus mileage should disqualify this car from further consideration. Weak points - rotting tailgate, front sills plus front fenders. For this fast dying maglow, front wheel bearings and swingarm rubber, window lifters and central electrics. As for the brakes, it's probably a leaky servo / worn vacup pump, plus the cheapest "Tomex" or "male" blocks. Weak acceleration? Standard - flow meter, turbine control, turbine itself, hole somewhere in the inlet. In general, as with a trader, you can expect everything and everywhere.
robokop don't scare your friend because he will ride he bike. The truth is that not everything can always be seen and captured. As I wrote, if you have no experience or you don't know cars well, ask someone to come with you.
What he wrote robokop it can be very possible because after starting the car, I waited for a minute and turned the steering wheel right-left not even completely but there was already some gentle hissing from the support - it could be this maglownica. The trader said it was because of 16tki tires.
As for the weak brakes, the trader said that the pads must reach because the car was left unused for several weeks. I drove this car from 5 km and overall, somehow, braking has not improved so well.
As for acceleration, I drove a few years Vectra C polift 1.9 CDTI 150 KM Z19DTH. I know that it is different technology and different engines, but in Vectra after pressing the gas pedal it pressed into the seat like in Boeing at the start. It also felt a light turbo-hole and generally knew exactly when the turbo was working and when it wasn't (and the turbo was working).
Here in Octavia it is so that after pressing the gas there is no violent reaction, there is uniform acceleration, zero turbo tube, it's hard to feel whether the turbo is working or not. I assume that Octavi is a motor of an older generation than it was in Vectra, so the turbo tube should be more noticeable than in Vectra. Octavia makes a lot of noise when accelerating, the engine runs evenly, it feels that the meter is already from 100 km / ha on the meter we have about 60 km / h. There is no transmission ratio to the wheels. For 110 hp I have a feeling that it should go a little better.
On cold sterile works evenly, the clutch works well, no knocks, no errors on the board. Cepik, UFG insurance base, autoDNA are all tested and true. Of course, the car is sealed, the engine is washed, like a dealer
What are the possible costs of parts and labor of what he wrote robokop ? I omit topics like the swingarm rubber, because it will probably be for pennies.
Greetings!
Edit: ah, and of course the electrical control of one rear window does not work so as he wrote robokop something with this electrics glass may be wrong. The trader said that the engine works only a plastic "latch" has fallen.
The window lifts on the links break, the repair is not too complicated (in Fabia and Octavia II you need to drill and then rivet), there are repair kits. Unless you broke the engine mount, it will be more expensive. But this is "pikuļ" for other faults.

You got something mixed up. As a rule, in octavia if the glass does not work, it either grinded the lines, or some plastic slide broke - then they also grinded the lines, or the fault is in the cables - broken bundle. Repair parts in the first two cases from PLN 80 and up.

It may hiss, this is not a malfunction. Unless you confuse it with a pump howl.

Nonsense. 16 tires are a failure for other reasons.

Don't assume anything because you are wrong.

You know what? With your knowledge you are on your way to blend some zlotys.

I did not mix anything, if the cable gets into the engine it can damage it - it grinds the transmission or breaks the mount. I wrote that this is the last resort, but in the car from the dealer you can often find various strange and partially fixed / masked defects. Usually, the sliders (slides) break, but this is a small matter in combination with potential faults of the drive system. Recently, a colleague at Fabia did a repair kit (links + slides, without guides) ~ PLN 30, to Octavia And I see that they are at a similar price.

I assure you that I will not. They will not grind the transmission, only the replaceable roller is destroyed. If the engine is too heavy, it just stops. I made dozens of these lifts. The engine link as such will never get - it is a separate component.
Let it be you, which does not mean that the engine cannot be damaged (e.g. water may get into it). I know the construction of this lift, because as I wrote a week ago I repaired it. There it broke the whole drum / roller (the cable got under it and already had a socket in the engine module that this drum falls into) and one engine mount was pulled out, but it could be assembled without replacing the drive module ... only what does it matter ? Either way, it's a penny to repair, compared to replacing a clutch or turbine.
Just like Andrzej writes. Packing in such an Octavia makes no sense. The struggle with finding the cause of the lack of acceleration is a pile of nerves and money. Give up cars from dealers, they do not know the past of cars, nothing can be learned from them. They also often fail to mask faults that return with redoubled power.
And I would start from how we know that the car is troubled by such defects? Is it not better to drive to the control stations and check on the health path? This car is 14 years old, it will be hard to find others in perfect condition. Lack of power - preferably dynamic logs but the trader may not allow or measure on the dynamometer
what would i do ride and watch other octaves, golf, a3 or forests, toledo with these units and see how they drive.
And here I will also confirm that cars from dealers are often uncertain, they have to earn so they don't buy perfect copies, but rather the worst ones.
According to me, looking for such a populus abroad is probably not profitable ... but it depends
However, instead of looking for tdi with a huge mileage and toys that can break down, e.g. turbo, can't go into gasoline? 1.8 L or 2.0 - lower real mileage and in my opinion cheaper potential repairs
