  1. Soviet, General & Off Topic Chat not the same without you, drop in some time!!

  2. It would be good information to know.
  3. Hi kynastonp;1794054, My son already did translation for this one, as is the link and date. And so see this here:- http://briskoda.net/octavia-i/russ-english-instrument-help-us/154674/ Is this by a co incident now, that you also have seen this? This was done last week!!!!!! Soviet:thumbup:
  4. Hi good old Soviet here, This link is coming from a Volkswagen Russ website here. I do not know if this repair is good one, but my son did as good translation for English speaking. http://briskoda.net/octavia-i/russ-english-instrument-help-us/154674/ Maybe this will help soon. Soviet
  5. Hi chicken_eyebrow, Felecia racer may be better to answer this for you I think, as he is still doing this now, and so I am waiting also for this. Thank you for liking my thread, but my son is doing most of hard work for it. Kind Regards for you Soviet:thumbup:
  6. Hi Good old soviet here, Riki of Italy made contact to me yesterday, and ask if I would check Volkswagen Russ website as for information that is new now for instrument panel. I now ask my son to put this to English as it may be help for Briskoda. aurelrica Briskodian Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 3 Members Car: oktavia1.9 tdi Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts hi i'm riky from italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi i don't know if you are realy russian but i said it worth the try there is a site http://volkswagen.msk.ru who has alot of technical stuff for wv and alot of things are in russian (the wv internal stuff too who cannnot find annyware else) you might wanna take a look. For the dash board problem did you get anny further?? did you control the resistors (if there is anny) connected to the v. regulators?? (i'll take a peak thiese days but for now i don't have much time..) Tks alot.... LINK TO RUSS WEBSITE FOR VOLKSWAGEN :- Ôîðóì Volkswagen Technical Site -> [ýëåêòðî] Ðåìîíò ïàíåëè ïðèáîðîâ Skoda Octavia TRANSLATE RUSS TO ENGLISH FOR US HERE:- Many owners of 8-10 year old Octavias have a problem with the dashboard needles failing. We needed to go back and look at the fault again, as we found some information on a UK forum. In many forums it is written that the cause of the drive for the stepper motors and the failure of the needles is the regulator, and by the way that is it. You cannot get to the panel easily, and so the needles need to be removed, to enable one to access two resistors which are located on the other side of the PCB and are acting as the stabilize , but when they get warm/overheat the start to inhibit the properties of the regulator. The resistors share a common point to the other side of the card, and so the solder on the connections for them needs to be made good again with a very small low wattage soldering iron. 1) Removing the indicator needles. Many people are having a fear of doing this operation, as they think that the needles are not strong enough to be removed without breaking, but there are no worries over this. It is good at this point to make a note of the exact position of the needles prior to removing them. Take two thin screwdrivers which broad blades, and put them either side of the needles bar and lever upwards, and do not worry about breaking them as I have already said that these are strong here. Do not also worry if the black cap comes off of the centre of the needle as this is replaced easily later, and is not a problem. 2) The connections need to be soldered and tested from these resistors on both sides of the board. 3) Disassemble the cover by bending the metal retaining lugs on the reverse of the PCB once the needles are removed. After soldering and reassembly, it is advisable to put the needle pointer to the end stop, but and error can be corrected with the dash board connected back in to the car. I then drove the car at 5km/h to show that the zero position was correct, or if further adjustment is needed. 4) The opinion of many is that there is no guarantee that the problem will not reoccur and so a transistor like heatsink could be fitted to the regulator as this also gets hot. [translation from Soviet’s son as help, means to fit a transistor type heatsink also to the regulator as per TO220 package, type I think) The solder connection from these resistors to the other side of the card, is common to all the sensors and are physically connected to pin 7 of the blue 32 pin main connector wiring loom socket, to the microprossessor. The slightest break in the chain (bad solder etc) will cause the symptoms that are described. (Stefan Alexi for Soviet) :singer::santa2:
  7. Hi Nimay, I have this problem too, not long ago here. It is so easy to do this job yourself, and save money from the garage. It is taking around 1 hour to do this. If you need help, then I will tell you. Soviet
  8. Never my sort of music, for this person is dead now I think.(BAD) I do not like screaming apparition, and it was always just noise for me. Soviet:rolleyes::thumbdwn:
  9. Hi GarryC, I am very pleased that you have managed the job here, as you had bad luck also. Regards for you;)
  10. Hi KenONeill, You are correct here again I am thinking as these plans are not good, and I would not be touching them with a badgepole. It is seeming that they are starting on you early here, by giving you this mail already, and you must beware of knock the door here and man with tape measure. Regards for you Soviet:rolleyes::eek::rotz::thumbdwn:
  11. Hi simbo99, Thank you for help that you give me with my computer problem before here. Yes beware of 'cuppa from Mrs Soviet time' now I think. I do not know how Mrs Soviet is making tea, as it is as if coming from the volcano here, and is bubbling and fuming, and I am needing asbestos gloves always. I burn my mouth many times, and I always need to let it do cooling for 20 minutes. So strange I think, yes and maybe I am doomed. Soviet:):rotz:
  12. Hi Clunkclick, Your explaination is serious one here, and i am aggreeing with you. May be there should be the free tin of musical beans to put on toast, for musical toaster. Soviet:rofl:
  13. Hi Tailhappy, This is so true what your uncle says here as the woman have it so easy I think:rofl: I need the clock that is always part of me to keep going here, I hope. Soviet:rolleyes:
  14. Hi MoggyTech, This could have been here, but when you are coming to my age you are woorying about different type of stiffness I think. Soviet, but life is in old dog yet I think
  15. Hi gillywibble, As usual you are having wicked sense of humour, but not so funny for Soviet as he is now past halfway for 60 here. Poor Soviet:thumbdwn:
