  1. I have run VAgcom on my wife's Octy 2 hoping to sort out the airbag light which has been on for about a month now. I have read on here that there is a common problem with losse connections under the seat. - I have also read that 'some' Skoda dealerships are likely to hand you a hefty bill for new airbags that are not required. (Why is there so much scepticism over Skoda dealerships. - I don't trust my local dealership either!) Anyway, all I get when trying to scan for the fault is a 'Failed Communication Message' - "Cannot communicate with the controller." - I only have the shareware version of Vagcom. - Does this 'Cannot communicate' message mean anything in itself, e.g. do I need a new airbag controller (how much is that going to cost?) , is the shareware version of Vagcom unable to scan the air bag controller? - Any ideas please. Vagcom appears to be otherwise working ok, as it flagged up a 'Boost Pressure Regulation - Overboost message. - Not very impressed as the car has less than 30k on the clock and according to some postings, it may soon need a replacement turbo at £600 for a recon unit, plus whatever is causing the airbag light to stay on! Please help! Steve
  2. I have just run Vagcom on my wife's Octy 2. The car is 3 years old with only 30k genuine on the clock. - I have serviced every 10k myself using approved engine oil. - I would not pay the ridiculous amount my local dealer wants for servicing. I have the P0234-000 fault code (Overboost) after the car went into limp mode about a week ago. - I was driving the car pretty hard at the time. - I pulled over turned off for about two minutes and all has been fine since. - Surely the Turbo can't be om it's way out with only 30k on the clock? - I will try some Turbo cleaner anyway.
