  1. I'm looking at getting a second hand drivers door for my 2007 Octavia Estate - is the driver door from a hatch the same as the estate? Not many on Ebay at the moment in the right colour - best one is on a hatch so not sure if it'll fit.
  2. This problem has worsened. Driving on the A1 the Traction light was flashing contstantly and appeared to be trying to apply brakes as I seemed to lose power. After a few seconds (which seemed a lot longer being in the outside lane of the A1) the handbrake light came on with a beep, and the traction light stopped flashing - then got control again. The Engine light came on around this time - can't remember if it was at the same time or just before. That stayed on overnight, but the following evening it had gone off. Being away from home (Harrogate), I did go into the local Skoda dealer on the offchance they could have a quick look at my car, though they were snowed under. All the levels look okay, the engine appears to be running fine, so I risked the 120 mile trip home. The Traction thing happened once on the way home, though has happened twice last night when only driving about 4 miles (with 2 stops). Hadn't used it since the trip from Harrogate (last Tuesday). It's booked in on Monday to have a look - not going to use the car again other than driving it to the garage. I have an ODB2 scanner which is showing a P0600 error. Loads of fails when it was trying to read the info. Does this, and the symptoms above, point to an ECU fault?
  3. Had a look at the fuses - can't see any of them showing signs of damage and all look intact. MIght have to get it booked in as anything more is probably beyond my capabilities. THanks for everyone's help on this so far 😊
  4. Not sure where you mean. Where should i be looking? This is my engine bay. Just driven 2 x 5 mile journeys and no lights. Does that suggest sensors?
  5. Sorry to sound daft but are these literally by the battery? Only had this a month.
  6. Yesterday driving, the ABS and Traction control (ESP?) Flashed on a couple of times. Today the above came on along with the handbrake light (flashing) and briefly a steering wheel light. Other symptoms are the speedo stopped working briefly and the cruise has stopped functioning (newly installed). Distance to empty is showing as 5 miles on half a tank. Hoping this is a fuse or relay and not something expensive. Away from home too which isn't good. Everything feels normal despite the lights.... Any ideas?
  7. Mine's done too and working. Steering wheel not quite straight though can't complain for the price..
  8. Hoping to make it less cosmetically challenged over time. Despite being an old git I've no experience of working on cars, so this is noob type stuff with most likely many errors. Just replaced the centre vent thing that housed the hazard switch. Here's the old one with broken vents and cracked plastic by the hazard light: New one looking a lot better. New one is from a 2009 - 2013 Octavia but fits and the hazards are working fine so I'm happy: Hardest bit was working out how to disconnect the hazard switch. Didn't realise it popped out through the front of the unit, allowing better access to unclip the plug. Already tried getting the air con re-gassed. Not convinced that's working properly so potentially more investigation needed. Car is booked in for a major service this Friday, then on Saturday it's with Tech1e for a retro fit of the cruise control. Got some minor bits coming as well including the boot rubber pull thing and some trim for one of the roof rails....
  9. Is there anyone on here that does these retrofits? I would tackle this myself though I'm very wary of the air bag (I assume the steering wheel needs to come off) and I don't have access to VAG COM (or know what to do if I did)! There is someone local to me who does these retrofits (did an old A3 of mine) though it's not cheap (about 30% of what I paid for the car!)
  10. I might be interested in future group buys though I need other bits (4 at the latest count) so will be ordering one with the other bits
  11. May have found it - minutes after adding this thread. Think it's part number IZ5 827 895 A.
  12. I've ordered a newer one as it does look exactly the same. After I ordered it I realised the connector for the hazard light might be different. I'll give it a go anyway - worst case I'll just re-sell it on Ebay.
