  1. I'll try calling them back with the vin number but the parts guy said they have to charge 30 minutes labour to check out all the different master keys they have so have to charge 40 quid plus 30 for whatever one it turns out to be. I already gave them the reg number over the phone so not too hopeful...I think they're probably trying to max the money out me! Thanks for the reply.
  2. Hi there. My locking wheel nut has gone amiss from my toolkit . I reckon it must have been....misplaced...the last time it went in for a tyre to be fitted so unbeknown to me ive been driving it around for a while with no locky. It's fitted with 15 inch helios alloys which were standard and is an 06 plate octavia estate. Can anyone advise me what type to get....Ive looked on the internet and they seem to be easy enough to come by but there are all different splines sizes etc...phoned my local dealer and they will charge £40 to look at the car and try all different sizes and then £30 for whatever one it is....does this seem reasonable...I've takem a pic if required but would need to figure out how to attach it. ...your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  3. I cant believe no one has any idea what these codes refer to. Have I posted this on the wrong part of the forum? Looked at moving it to the technical area but it doesnt seem to want to let me do that. Any advice appreciated.
  4. Hi there. Can anyone help identify the fault codes supplied below taken from my 1.9tdi 06 plate octavia. I have been getting intermittent warning lights for abs/esp, brake pad low warning (theyre fine all round.) The codes were taken from my friends VW Audi Scan vs450 vgate reader menus. 1.ABS.00668-034 can bus...."supply voltage terminal 30 sporadic 002 lower limit exceeded. 2.ABS.00287-040 can bus....abs wheel speed sensor rear right (G44) sporadic. 3. Engine. 05659-096 can bus....DTC definitions not found please refer to service manual. 4.Cent elec. 00987-044 can bus....lamp for brake light (left m9) sporadic 012 electrical fault. The lights are off more than theyre on but would welcome advice as to what they are and whether they would be a reasonably easy or costly fix. Thanks in advance. Alan.
  5. Thanks for the posts folks....there's no noticeable humming noise coming from the rear left so it's probably the ring that's on it's way out....I think I remember my mechanic saying something last year(when the right rear wheel bearing got replaced) about these rings failing and the whole hub having to be swapped so that all makes sense.....another trip to the garage! Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.
  6. Hi there. Recently there is an ABS/traction control light that has illuminated on the dash of my Octavia 1.9tdi and the anti skid light has come on (just above the ashtray.) My mate plugged in his diagnostic to the car and it has come up with the following code....ABS Wheel Speed Sensor:Rear Left (G46) "sporadic" 00290 and then I think there was another one 003Failure (mechanical.) I apologise if this subject has been covered before, but can anyone tell me what this means....is it the whole hub that has to be replaced or is it some kind of sensor somewhere else. Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks.
  7. Thanks for the reply. Yeh you're probably right....Someone else had suggested that it may be a wiring fault which is a no no for me..time and weather also against me (west of Scotland)....rain rain rain....I'll leave it for the moment and get it booked in after new year. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
  8. Thanks for the replies folks. Christmas kind of got in the way! Anyways....turned the key in the lock manually left and right several times and the door opened. So I now have a door that opens and closes and the central locking works on all the doors.....except the drivers door....it now wont lock either with the key or with the fob although it sounds as if it has...when you open the door the alarm goes off......any ideas what this could be or is it best to bite the bullet and just put it into a skoda dealer who probably deals with this kind of issue day in day out. Many thanks in advance....
  9. Hi folks. I'm looking for a bit of help here. Tonight I tried to open the drivers door of my Octavia and although the external handle pulled out okay the door refused to open. I gave up and went in the passenger door to try the release handle from inside but no luck...I tried the internal locking button on the centre console (press/release) but no luck and there feels as if there is a bit of resistance from the internal drivers door release handle...as if some connector rod or something may have snapped inside.....anyway....does anyone know where I should start about getting to the root of the problem...obviously the door is closed so taking off the door panel doesnt appear to be an option....or is there some kind of emergency catch or something similar to whats in the boot (its an estate) that can get the tailgate open from the inside...any help would be appreciated or I'll be limboing in and out of the car for the forseeable! Thanks in advance.
  10. no idea where the front washer set up is mate. this washer thingy seems to be a major problem with skodas.... might be worth creating a new post for your problem and see what responses you get from that. sorry....can't help with that one.
  11. Many thanks for the replies folks. Gave it a go today and traced it back to the connection which is basically under the left hand side( as viewed from the back.) Bit of a pain to get at but once found the connector had come right off. Everywhere was awash with soapy water so dried it off and followed the advice reference neutralising everything with wd40..............a lot of wires there to corrode. A job well done.Thanks.
  12. Thanks for the replies. Where I am (Paisley, Scotland) its been snowing again (thought we'd seen the last of the stuff) and everything is totally frozen. Once it thaws again, I'll try out your suggestions....many thanks.
  13. Hi all. Can anyone advise me where to look for the connectors that deliver screenwash to the rear washer. My washer is just dribbling out after the cold weather with a fair delay before anything gets to it at all. This was a warranty job when I got the car but the skoda mechanics were guarded as to where it came from and how they got to the connectors. I'm imagining one has almost popped off somewhere but need to know where to start looking. The fronts are working fine if thats any help. Just looking for clues as to where to start removing trim etc.......there doesn't appear to be any water in the spare wheel well which was where it collected the last time........Many thanks in advance.
