  1. no real reason it is just that it applies easily in turn-off standing position.
  2. Hi I need some tips from expert here... as I am leaving for 4-5 weeks vacation from scandivavia and i have no other choice to park my car under the open sky. There will be snow expected during the period :(. . So need your advice how can I leave the car, couple of things that I know off are 1. remove battery wire too keep battery charged. 2. not using handbrake, put the car in second gear. Do you have any other tips that can be useful to keep my car in the functioning so as to avoid any surprise after happy vacations thanks in advance, Car is 1.9 tdi skoda octavia 2004
  3. Here is the video link to the problem https://youtu.be/q0DRJPeWrG8
  4. I have a Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI 2003 model. The car either takes a crank or does not take crank. when it takes the crank than engine start on the first shot.. if it does not the battery light dims and rest not. Sometime there is a problem with car lock system. I understand if the battery is poor, engine takes many weak crank to start ? recently there was a problem with wiper relay 377 which i replaced but this problem persist.
  5. Hi All this brings the closure of the thread. I replaced the relay 377 underneath steering that solved the problem. Thank you all for the kind help ! much appreciated.
  6. Hi the problem backs again :(.. please helppppp The car either takes a crank or does not take crank. when it takes the crank than violla engine start on the first shot.. if it does not the battery light dims and rest not. I understand if the battery is poor, engine start after many weak crank or may be i am wrong ? recently there is a problem with wiper relay 377 which i replaced but the problem above was from earlier days.
  7. Thanks for that... can you guide... IF i can reuse bunk from one of the car area which is not so critical ?
  8. Hi I am looking for something which I dont know how to explain :P. I think picture says thousands word so I am attaching a picture (by the way its not my car :P). Actually I am looking for a rubber made circular thing which stops water getting inside the car. I dont know its purpose but after lifting the car, it seems my car missing this "thing". The car rear carpet keep getting soaked every time I drive in the rain. I hope wise people can help me in explaining the purpose and how to get it ?
  9. Hi Wiper on my car (skoda octavia 1,9 diesel 2003) has gone made i.e. not stopping at all. I have research on this great group on the problem & found three remedies 1. fuse problem 2. stalk 3. relay I have checked 1. with no success but Now i want to test 3. first before I go on to change stalk. I can buy the relay 377 myself but not too sure how much expertise require to replace it and the risk. In Denmark the price to do the job is quite high. Can any one share the good explanation on how to remove the panel under the steering wheel.
  10. Hej I have tighten the nuts of battery and replug the 3 fuses on top of it. Since than no problem :sun: . Thanks for the help.
  11. good thanks ! Battery is two year older... how long does it last ?
  12. Hi I have a intermittent starting problem with my skoda octavia 2003 1.9 tdi. The problems are many but I think they all relate to single cause (i hope) Sometimes when I turn on the ignition, all dashboard lights do not glow with full strength and wiper also move quite slowly and engine does not take crank. I switch off and switch on for number of times and then all seems normal :clap: . During this process, sometimes mileage counters resets and my electronic parking clock also initializes. The central locking system also not functions properly.... some time it requires couple of pressing to open the lock. and sometime alarm starts buzzing as soon as I open the door. However the car runs perfectly mechanically.... i have recently spent a lot of money on breaks etc just to keep the car for next couple of years and now this happens ... Is this problem something to do with ECU or locking system ? Any comments will be much appreciated. Thanks !
