Thanks for your help. When i replaced the pcv hoses i cleaned the pcv check valve instead of replacing it. (They were out of stock at my local place.) From what you've said is it possible this is blocked? When i open the oil filler cap i can feel a vacumn which i thought was a good sign? Cheers, Alex

Hi guys, Im after some help with my vrs. Ive had her for 5 years now and its always had 4k oil changes and regular services. She's now on 145k and running fine. No smoke and very little oil usuage, but everytime i stop i get a massive stench of hot oil coming from the front of the engine near the radiator. I've replaced the pcv pipes, oil pick up and s pipe under manifold to no avail. I then had the rocker cover gasket and half moon replaced which cured it for a short time. I then had the cam belt and waterpump changed and its back again. I figured it was coming from the rocker cover again but i cant see any staining. Ive taken the intercooler pipe to throttle body off and there was some oil in there but not massive amounts. Could it be the turbo seals on the way out? Any suggestions welcome! Cheers, Alex

No the led does not work with the key or with the control panel. Im thinking the actuator may have a broken solder joint from the plug to the motor because I tested the motor at the terminals with power. I didnt check the wiring behind the microswitches. I think il order an ebay one to see if that sorts it.

Ok its not the wiring loom. All checks out with a multi meter. I have had the actuator out and opened it up. The microswitches seem ok and the motor moves with power to it. Any ideas?

Hi mate thanks for the reply. I rang skoda who fitted it and they confirmed they fitted a new ccu and window regulator and door wiring. All of the above are under warranty but they wont help me without the paperwork from the garage I bought it from, who appears to be closed. Bloody typical, I knew I should have asked for the paperwork! Ive had the door card off and used contact spray on the new plug but ill check the door pillar wiring next. Thanks again.

Hello all, Newbie here, but I've been following the forum since January when I bought an 05 Red VRS Wagon. When I bought the car the small dealer had trouble trying to fix the central locking on the drivers door. As per the other hundred posts he eventually found the control connector pins were corroded and paid Skoda at Aylesford Kent to fit a new door loom, control panel and regulator. He also fitted the door lock mechanism I believe and all has been well since. Today I came out of work and pressed the key fob to unlock the car to find the drivers door wouldn't open except with the key. The interior lights work, as do the mirrors, window and lights on buzzer. The dash door indicator is on but the led light on the door pin is not. Do you think this could be the micro switch in the door lock, as Im hoping the new wiring and connector wouldn't have failed this quickly? Thanks, Fozzyal
