Had a look this evening and that’s the wrong plug type. It’s 8K0972702 which you can also get repair pin out kits for. car side looks to be 8K0 972 701 which I can’t find pins for as yet. Any guidance gratefully received!

Car is 2016 Octavia 3 diesel vRS with the CUNA engine. My aircon seems to be on its last legs and the guy who re-gassed it last week recommended a new compressor and condenser, the latter being a bit "crusty" in his words. I think i've found the correct part number for the compressor - 5Q0 820 803 - but there seem to be about a dozen different part numbers for the condenser. Can some kind person confirm I'm correct with the compressor PN and let me know the correct condenser PN please? TIA.

Great stuff Breezy_Pete. That's just what I need. I've got access to a hydraulic press but I'll get Gen2 tool kit to be on the safe side. Thanks a lot.

First one, ending E. There have been some superseding numbers but they usually quote all that match on the aftermarket.

Gen2 bearing type that needs special tooling to make sure you don't press on the hub face when installing. Search youtube for demo vids with tooling examples.

Thanks for the quick reply and info Alasdair 1. I didn't know about the PR codes but now I've checked them all and unfortunately the sticker doesn't have what I need. I've visited the link you've provided where there's a chose of two part numbers but as I don't have the PR code I can't be sure which part I need. They really don't make it easy! Regarding the puller is it a Gen2 puller that's required? Thanks for your help.

@SkodaJosh pls post your unit part number and SW version

Guess what I’ll be thinking in 78 miles time… 😂

My octavia is the same but weird my sons 55 plate fabia is spotless. Think it depends on what part of the country they have been in due to road salt. Have a look at Bilt Hamber rust cure. Seems to work well and can be overpainted and also a reasonable price. Hydrate 80 is what I use. £25 per 500ml Alasdair

https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/FABI/706/4/407/407011 Link to front wheel bearing etc 2011 fabia Look on the sticker in boot to match PR code They are press in press out on the MK1 and maybe MK2 I got a cheap puller/press on amazon that did the job fine. Alasdair

Go to https://www.lllparts.co.uk/ and browse by manufacturers parts diagram. If you input your vin it will narrow it down. The listings of the bearings may have a PRcode which there is a sticker in boot near spare wheel. You could also try febi parts finder. Find it pretty good. Alasdair

Hi there. I hope I've not missed something obvious on your forum, but does anyone know how to find OEM part numbers? My 2011 Fabia 1.2TSI front wheel bearings are getting very noisy. I've looked on various motor factor websites having input my car reg but there seem to be different dimension assemblies availabe. The only thing I suppose I could is to remove one the bearing/hubs and measure it up but my wife can't afford to have the car off the road while I order a spare part. I've tried Catcar info but there's no numbers there. The local dealer won't give me any help which is fair enough. Is there a reliable EPC available to help please? Thanks in advance.

Update, cleaned front EGR valve (looks like a throttle body) and cleared the N18 P0403 int malfunction code and taken it for a 10 mile test run and its not reappeared ! So let's hope.

Sorry I completely forgot to update this thread. The diags showed a historical fault, same fault as you - P01100 Intake Air Temp sensor 1 bank 1 circuit range/performance. The guy said this was to do with the MAFS. Either the battery was low, and that threw the reading, or the MAFS saw unfeasible value and saw that as a sensor fault, and when the external temperature reduced next day, all was fine. Anyway the code was cleared and I've not had a repeat, but I have made a conscious effort to park out of the sun on the hottest of days.

I should add that the windscreen wipers, front and back, do work. The problem with the rear washer is that it doesn't pump any water. I can live without it, to be honest (I learned to drive in a Morris Minor, I don't think it even HAD a rear windscreen wiper) - but having the front windscreen washer not functioning, that IS a pain.

The screenwash reservoir / bottle / tank (not sure of correct name!) on my Roomster has a very dramatic leak. I fill it, the water pours right out. I haven't yet tried to access it. Are they difficult to replace? Could the leak be from a connector rather than the container itself? I'm loathe to order a new one before checking, in case it's just not coupled up properly. (I have a bit of an ongoing saga; since I bought the car, the back windscreen washer has never worked; seemed it needed a new pump; seller replaced the pump but it still didn't work, and they concluded it was an electrical problem; told me they need to get an electrical diagram for the car, since then, have gone worryingly unresponsive to contact.) Because the back washer wasn't working - and I didn't know if trying to use it was resulting in water ending up somewhere inside the panelling* - I also avoided using the front washers. Hence, it took me a long time to register this problem... thought I was just mis-remembering when I had topped it up! *some signs of water staining in the boot that I was suspicious of

Late reply as I have just done it using a wooden spatula - cracked it open to find the number plate lighting wire that had been 'lost' and pushed it back into place with very positive pressure. Looks secure, feels secure.

Glad we have been able to help. I tend to only turn auto hold off for such things as parking and switch it on for Driving. I did this with both my previous dsg cars With my car now being an ev i find it more important because it ties in with the emergency braking function when it thinks you are approaching something too fast. if you can creep properly it doesn't activate.

@pab567 i have a 2013 superb which is also experiencing the same fault - could you pop across the update link?

Again, thanks for taking the trouble to help. Much appreciated..

Totally common thing on standard cars. It's a general wear&tear as mentioned by Evolution13

The one i got had the groove so more like a groment. Guess an O rings fine if it does the job. Some jobs you just have to do yourelf, i hate being blatantly ripped off!

Hi! Im also looking for the firmware, if someone is able to help me Part number : 3T0 035 686 H HW : H23 SW : 6270 West europe @pab567

Yeah replacing the sensor resolved all the issues. Think the one I got was from Euro Car Parts.
