Mine still going since August 2006.

Remember in 2008 when my 2006 Octavia went in for a service and the cruise just stopped working. Advised the then dealer of that at the time and it was fixed under warranty. Never did ask why it might have just stopped working, but it did.

New clutch for me too. Happy new year ;-)

Cheers mate. Need to get it looked at so will just have to wait and see.

Coming back from the in laws tonight and changed up from second to third when it felt a bit difficult to get it into gear. There was plenty of vibration in the clutch pedal when pushing in slightly but something has clearly gone. I managed to get the car home with as few gear changes as possible, but does anybody have any thoughts what it might be? Fluid leak etc.....? Cheers

Thanks Polar, I did wonder if it could be a stone but the noise was horrendous. Might be a job at lunch time me thinks. Cheers

Hi, I have just driven to work and everything was fine. Car driving fine etc.....I then turned into where I work and could hear a strange noise as if something was scraping along the ground. I can't see anything hanging but did notice the noise is only going forward as when I put the car into reverse, the noise went. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, just been out to do this and did what you said. Air was cold, heard the fans come on and had two different readings/codes - 4fA on the left and 00.h on the right. Any ideas what they mean?

That's great cheers. I didn't have any errors come up on the diagnostics when it was serviced by an independent about 3 weeks ago, apart from the one about the flaps which I didn't notice last night.

To be fair, it used to be bloody freezing and worked a treat, but i've only ever had Skoda's with air con and CC. I know very car savvy, but how would I know if the temp sensor is faulty and where is it?

When I took my car in for a service, flaps were mentioned. I was told some were 'sticking' and was advised it normally is a result of when air con settings are kept pretty much at a constant. I was advised to give it a really good full blow as that can normally sort that issue out.

Have arrived at work this morning and like yesterday morning, the temparature has been about 18 degrees and stuck the CC on LO and it was very cold air coming through. Is the fact that the temp inside the car yesterday afternoon was that hot that it was taking ages to work? I just remember that when I had CC working before last year, it would get cold straight away and cool the interior. What I would also say is that the condenser is fine. There is no girgling noise like there was before a new one was fitted.

Obviously the Condenser is still under warranty and I don't really want to spend out more money to tell me it isn't working or something isn't working. To be perfecctly honest, I am furious over this. Spent too much money in trying to get this sorted via an official Skoda dealer but wish I hadn't let them anywhere near it.

Now the issue I have with this is when I did this once before, the dealer would not accept anything other than from their diagnotics report. I had the car serviced last month by an independent and looking at the full diagnostics report they gave me, no faults showed up as far as the climate control is concerned.

After taking my car into a Skoda dealer last April for a service here in the Midlands, I had to have a new radiator fitted in May and then 2 months later, a new condenser. After the condenser was fitted, it took 4 visits back to the dealer to get it right because everytime it was sorted, with a day or two, the air was blowing warm again. In the end, they blamed it on a faulty piece of equipment and finally everything seemed to be ok. Now since last August (when it was finally sorted), the actual temp outside hasn't been too demanding and the climate control has appeared to have been fine. I also put mesh on the grill to protect the new condenser too. Now, we have obviously had a couple of days of very hot weather here in England and all i'm getting is warm air again and I want to pursue this matter with both the dealer and Skoda themselves because I have no confidence in the dealer at all in trying to get this sorted. What would be my best course of action? Cheers
