[EPC light on with fault code registered...any ideas?]

It was the coil packs folks all sorted now 

 

[EPC light on with fault code registered...any ideas?]

Its done 52000 miles always serviced....tried the new bosch coil packs today felt better but then the EPC light again at high speed / revs.... damn car is a blooming menace time to get rid i think...plugs are denso a8   put in 7 months ago ......gapped with my feeler gauge at 0.7 i think as recommended

[EPC light on with fault code registered...any ideas?]

The plugs look ok I've checked them ...a couple of garages recommended starting by changing the coil packs and see if it cures it .....

 

[EPC light on with fault code registered...any ideas?]

Mined doing this too

fault codec 16526  00 (096) cylinder shut off

its had uprated plugs 7 months ago so going for Bosch coil packs as recommended by midland VW.

will post if it cures it 

it's only doing it under high speed acceleration i.e. Driving it hard ...normal driving is fine and It resets the EPC light by turning the engine on and off. 

[Glove box removal to replace heater resistor pack.]

if its like my fabia vrs 2011 you have to remove the passenger airbag to get to it its the only way said a skoda dealer when i rang them....top glovebox then airbag then some felt padding and its hiding in a very tight space for you to ruin your hands on !!!!

[Boot lights...Very short wiring problem]

Like you say its not a major problem just an irritating one 

I've stuck with my one from amazon.

I've just serviced both my occty and fabia vrs and now have an exhaust light on after swapping the spark plugs ? if its not one thing its something else !

[Boot lights...Very short wiring problem]

Hi , I'm having exactly the same problem both boot lights are not working . New boot lock in place still no lights .

I have power there 11.5 volts when the boot is shut but open the boot and no power to the light holders I'm baffled and annoyed I've paid £40 for a pointless new boot lock can't understand the wiring have checked all connectors and can't see any corroded ones !

HELP HELP HELP

I'm going to put a seperate sensor light in there it's cheaper a Duracell under cabinet light is about £20 a pair on Amazon

[Persisting boot tailgate lights failure (2005 TDi Estate)]

Can anyone provide any more help with this its a pain in the boot so to speak I've traced wiring back and all seems fine.

I've got 11.5 volts on the boot lights when it's shut but the bulbs aren't lit CONFUSED.COM When the boot is opened no power it's like opening the boot switches the power off ?

[Persisting boot tailgate lights failure (2005 TDi Estate)]

Im having the same issue just replaced the boot ock still no lights anyone had any success with anything else

[DPF forced regen - no warning light]

My 09 plate vrs ltd ed diesel is in the garage now awaiting the dreaded it requires a new dpf ...never had any warning lights on the whole 18 months weve had it . its had an exhaust sensor two months ago and a dpf sensor today but the garage says it wont allow a regen 

[Lowest milage DPF regeneration in a VRS CR170]

Vrs ltd ed 09 exhaust sensor 2 months ago now a DPF sensor and a regen required not impressed at all. 33k on the clock

[CR Diesel DPF Diesel Particulate Filter problem]

What a poor design of car that seems to keep causing all these issues , my vrs 09' ltd edition has recently had an exhaust sensor now 2 months later its back for a DPF sensor ..... Tempted to get rid already after a year , skoda you really need to do better.

[DPF issue Octavia 2.0 TDI VRS / 33K / 2009]

Hi, my octavia vrs ltd edition has just been taken to the garage for the same , a failed exhaust sensor a few months ago , now the DPF filter light is on and won't regenerate by driving , rather annoyed to say the least , I'm hoping its another exhaust sensor or it will be going to have it removed without a doubt ! Going off sodas fast .

[Rear wheel bearing.]

I will bet its the above , just had two new tyres and geometry done all silent now... The tyre i took off had bad stepping / saw-toothing on the inner edges.

i THOUGHT WHEEL BEARING AT FIRST it sounds just like it !

[Problem with windows opening themselves]

Mine were down once i thought it was my error when i locked it

[Wheel alignment options]

Octavia vrs.com lists new settings for the mk 2 models just had mine altered today ....!....to try and stop the inner tyre wear

[vRS internal rear squeaking noises]

Go on to (octavia vrs.com) look under tech index, it lists common problems .... this is one of them you can replace the seals with a modified part....mine does it really bad ive only just had it .....i originally thought it was the leather seats.....

[Inner edge tyre wear warning]

I have recently purchased a limited edition diesel vrs 09 and the dealer replaced one rear tyre before i picked it up as it had worn on the inner edge. I was surprised as the majority of the tyre looked like it had 50% left. I have now matched the tyre with another new one and just had the geometry all set up to the new settings found on another website....the left rear camber angle was out a bit on the affected side and it made the normal wheel bearing rumble noise. I hope the new kumhos will be better than the dunlops....

[LHS Rear Fog Lamp not lighting up]

I think they do only have one. I had the same problem I though my bulb had gone but only one is active.

[Genuine headlight protectors]

mystery solved ....the ones provided do not fit my car only up to 2009 the garage have made a boob hence they are refunding me and the postage, be warned it doesnt say they wont fit fabia vrs 2010

[Genuine headlight protectors]

Has anyone purchased these genuine skoda parts and wondered how on earth they fit onto the new shape fabia vrs ...they look the wrong shape...the instructions are almost useless...and you cannot shut the bonnet when fitted, thats if you get the top clip to fit and stay in place...any help or ideas folks before i go mad... They had supposed to be push-fit

PS i also got some for my 2009 octavia vrs ltd edition...oh why did i bother broke it fitting it ... it says push fit more like hammer fit ...come on skoda these parts are just rubbish and damage your car fitting them . they are not like Nissans that fit and clip on easily

[Rumbling Octavia]

Hi what garage would that be ? as im not sure if ive test drove that one too, ? You obviously didnt spot the dented alloy then on the same rear wheel that may be leaking as the tyre pressure light came on too on the test drive ....

[Rumbling Octavia]

Hello,

I am new to this forum and in the process of buying a used Octavia VRS TDI. I have been looking for some time I thought I had hit the jackpot with 2009 limited edition one with only 22K on the clock. When I test drove it all was well except for a rumbling from the rear drives side. This increased with speed and on corners; sounded like a bearing to me; sales guy was clueless and I said that I wouldn’t do the deal until it was sorted. Anyhow he said they’d get it fixed so we good to go I said I would need to drive it again when it was fixed, still waiting a reply from them! Are bearings an issue on the Octavia, any other Octavia specific things I should look for; I must say the interiors look like they hold out well.

Thanks

[fabia vrs stutter]

mine has been done but it feels the same i will check the skoda dealer has done it though , unless i see ityou cant be certain its been done
