  1. I've had the driver door trim off today but there are no signs of water damage. It's only the passenger door electrics that aren't working, however an interesting observation if i disconnect the the passenger door electric and reconnect the that passenger window will work for 5 mins or so from the passenger button only. I've checked the continuity of the wiring harness coming from the door and it all checks out. The fact that the passenger window works for a short period when the power is reconnected makes me think the passenger door module is the issue, otherwise i think it must be the CAN link
  2. My estate had water in the boot - turned out to be a split in the rear washer hose, so each time i cleaned the rear window half the water ended up in the left hand wing (there is a storage cover there in the estate Worth a look (and easy to check!)
  3. where is the central convenience unit in the ocativa - I'm have issues with the electrics in my passenger door - I've checked all the connections and they don't appear to have water damage - may post suggest looking and the control unit but i can't find it!
  4. the part answer to my own post is http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/112185-door-card-removal-from-deadlocked-octavia/
  5. I have the same problem with my 2000 octavia however I can't get the above links to work.... could someone repost? Thanks
  6. It didn't work!:thumbdwn: This morning the gauges didn't work until i removed fuse 15!
  7. Following from Soviet's Advice I took my instrument display apart again this evening to photo the Siemens relay so i could obtain a replacement. Upon re assembling I tapped the component a couple of times, put it back together and to my amazement it gauges are all working correctly even with fuse 15 in place! We'll see over the next few days if it continues to work!
  8. Sounds like the common fault with the display console - Do the other dial read i.e. coolant temperature & speedo? Does the clock / trip reset after each key off? Before i jump to conclusions check the keep alive fuse for the dispaly console - fuse 15 i beleive and replace if blown Now assuming I haven't jumped to conculsions you have several options 1. Live with it! - You can display speed on the climate control if fitted 2. Try removing fuse 15 - keep alive power for the display console - Generally the gauges will work but the clock / trip will reset + the service indiator will no longer work! http://www.briskoda.net/forums/octavia/instrument-display-intermittent-fault-octavia/61077/ 3. Replace the console at a dealer -
  9. Strangely - the problem has resolved itself! I'm sure it will return at some point
  10. Drive my car this evening the doors just locked themselves. :confused: Now whenever i try to unlock the doors they re lock. I assume there must be some switch in the door to causes it to lock. Any ideas?
  11. Update: I've discovered an interesting observation with this fault. If i remove the fuse for the display unit keep alive power the the dials work 95% of the time. If I leave the fuse in it only works 5% of the time. The down side is that I either need to remember to reinsert the fuse before turning the engine off or accept that the trip computer resets each this i key off! anyhow it got through the MOT with any mention of the speedo fault. I've had the unit apart but can't see which component is at fault. I guess i could... a) fit a relay to turn on the keep alive power when the ignition is turned off fit a manual switch to do the same c) Replace the unit I guess I should bite the bullet and choose option C!
  12. Thanks for the help. I think I’ll put in for the MOT and if it fails on the display, wait until it works again and take it back! The instrument display is easy to remove. I've had it apart however I can't find any fault with it - probably a fault component on the PCB. If anyone does have a circuit diagram for the instrument panel I would be grateful and I might be able to work out what's gone wrong!
  13. Does anyone know which pins of the instrument unit goes to the ignition switch?
  14. The 18deg is the target temperature for the cabin, not the vent air out temp. If the aircon is in good working order it should get down to ~5deg for a 25+ deg ambient temp when on max cooling. Any lower than this and you'll get frezzing in the unit which basically isn't good!
