Expose those black/yellow wires from destination (MAF etc.) to the 14 way connector until something is visible. If you let me know the VIN, I can look up whether your car has the oil level/temp sensor. I'll message you to ask for it.

I’ll have to check if I have a sensor in the sump because I’m not 100 percent sure but it’s bloody rattling it down so it’s making this 10x harder but thanks how would I go about checking for that short

0.1 is basically a dead short, so if that was with MAF and PAS 4-way (not the big two-way one) connectors unplugged , and you haven't got a sensor in the bottom of the sump, then there is a wiring short somewhere.

I had both the power steering and the maf disconnected at one point and the number hovered about 0.1 then with the maf connected about the same and same again

Yep. 🙂

Skoda Superb Mark II 2014. Just back from the MOT so maybe a mechanic moved something. But when cabin climate fan turned on, this clicking noise begins. Seems to be coming from under the foot well. Disappears when fan turned off. If fan speed increased it can turn into a whining sound. Debris in a filter? Bearing of some type? Something loose? How can I explore further? Many, many thanks.

That’s the maf isn’t it?

Press the hold button again and it will go back to displaying live reading. Start with MAF connected. Show me a pic of 'sensor connected to airbox' please, so I can check what it is.

must of been an accident didn’t even know what that meant do you also mean unplugging the sensor connected to the airbox

The H on the left of the display suggests that you have pressed Hold. Deliberate to show me reading, or accidentally?

@chetski I recently came across this video in a timeline; I think it should be a good fit. Spareparts: D 16V 150uF 157C B 10V 22UF 226A

Yes, pin 11 of the male connector, if that was the one that measured 0V on first test. Is that with MAF connected or unplugged?

Here I have attached a photo of my multimeter

Buy yourself a CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger Run it on the Recond option. Brought my battery back to life after suffering similar issues to your own, and it's worked flawlessly since

Set it to 200 ( not 200k) and just stays at 1 doesn’t budge am I correct in putting it onto the male end with the pins

I always use Mann oil filters and if your lucky to live near a TPS that's willing to sell to the public, The Quantum engine oil range is a lot cheaper than other places. The 5w30 was approx £25 for 5 litres compared to dealers at around £ 50/£60 for 5 litres..

Check for broken wires in driver's door bellows.

There's several threads in here about the many pitfalls in aftermarket fitting of towbars to Karoq's, so probably worth a search session using the box top right. Of course while you may not tow, the next owner might, so the vehicle has to be fully compliant. Although I believe some models escaped the factory with no towing rating & so can't be fitted regardless. If it were me I'd want a certified towbar already in place, or make it a condition of sale that the dealership fits one before completion. IIRC, there's been more than one instance of buyers finding out the hard way that what the dealer told them doesn't match with reality...

Hello everyone 👋 I have enabled the needle sweep function on the instrument cluster of a Fabia FL model by modifying the EEPROM (24C32). While the needles light up during the sweep, the scale illumination remains off. Is there an offset within the dump that would allow the scale illumination to be activated during the sweep? Alternatively, is there a way to activate the entire instrument cluster illumination as soon as the ignition is switched on? Thanks in Advance.

I have a Fabia 1.4tdi 2009 and every winter I have an issue with the instrument cluster flashing and beeping on a cold start. This only happens when the car is cold, once warmed up the issue goes away. I’ve taken the cluster out and taken to a cluster repair specialist but they couldn’t find any faults (although I did drive to them and problem had gone away by the time I reached them). A few other observations I've noticed when this happens: sometimes the clock resets back to 00:00 as it warms up, the problem changes in that the cluster works fine for 10-15 seconds and then beeps 3 times as if its resetting no issues with radio, fan, internal lights, etc when this is happening if I have the headlights on the beam light on cluster is not affected (ie. everything else is flashing but that isn't impacted) Can't upload videos as they are too big so hope you guys can see these video links: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Idh3pB5Cwqo46qo1DZxd8pRM6GQX5ix9/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/151agm9it9jrHUWum-JavA5lYXz3mrzK8/view?usp=sharing Anyone seen a similar issue? Could it be a problem external to the cluster (eg. a sensor giving a bad reading or something while cold). Also, I’ve seen photos of a few different clusters in these forums and online but never seen the one I have. Is it a cluster that was used for a limited time. Any advice would be appreciated. Everything else on the car runs perfect.

Shame it excludes the 1.8TSI, but since that's also an EA888 engine (like the 2.0TSI) I'm hopeful there's enough commonality for it to still be useful.

The lowest range of Ohms, probably 200. Yes, pin 11, black/yellow wire.

The language of this forum is English please post only in English.

Ah right I see what number ohms should I be on it’s went a bit rainy at the moment so I can’t do that now am I also correct in saying that PIN number 11 is the black and yellow one?

Once you know which the load side is (0V from first measurement), you are then switching meter to measure resistance (Ohms). From that pin where there was OV, to chassis or battery negative. Report that number. A dead short will read 0 Ohms (and so cause fuse to blow if connected).
