Success! Managed to get to the number 2 ground point in the boot. Thanks for the info ApertureS!
-
Thank you very much for the reply. Do you happen to have any info on how to remove the trim to access the number 2 ground point? All the trim seems pretty well fitted so there's probably a particular order I need to follow to get there. Thanks in advance!
-
Sorry to raise this thread again, but does anyone know where there is a ground point in the boot please? I'm going to install a sub and amp and had a look bit nothing obvious. The trim also seems quite a pain to remove to look, so if anyone can guide me to the right place I'd be very grateful! Mines a 2021 estate btw. Thanks 😊

Fuel Filler Flap sticking
pboothy55 replied to pboothy55's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks for the replies everyone. I've bought a replacement solenoid and will be fitting it tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help. -
Hi all Went to fill my car with fuel this morning and the fuel filler flap wouldn't open. Luckily a few locks and unlocks managed to get it open. Tried again when i got home and it seems stuck again. I can see from searching the forum that others have had this issue. Has anyone changed the solenoid themselves? And could anyone share the part number needed and instructions on how to change it? Many thanks

EPC light on and limp mode 13 reg tsi vrs

Car is now back with the new turbo fitted and thankfully no more warnings or limp mode so far. -
EPC light on and limp mode 13 reg tsi vrs
pboothy55 replied to pboothy55's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I'll not push for any more. I'm just relieved I've not had to pay the full amount as it's out of warranty. I'm not sure if they are just guessing it's the turbo. I suppose I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings when they fit the new one. -
EPC light on and limp mode 13 reg tsi vrs
pboothy55 replied to pboothy55's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Dealer has come back and said it needs a new turbo. Luckily they will pay for the turbo and I'll pay for the fitting only at 400 quid. I'll ask to see if they have any fault code info. -
EPC light on and limp mode 13 reg tsi vrs
pboothy55 replied to pboothy55's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It would be great if it's as simple as that to solve! Car has now gone into the dealers so I hope they can find the fault. -
Hi all My 13 reg has developed a fault where car goes into limp mode and EPC warning light is shown on dash. Dealers had it last week and think it's a turbo fault but turbo appears fine apparently. They emailed skoda technical for next thing to check and gave the car back. Car again today in limp mode so dealers are picking up tomorrow to diagnose further. Car is 2 months out if warranty with only 21k on the clock. I'm hoping skoda will offer a gesture of goodwill towards the cost of repair! Anyone else had this experience so I can tell the dealer to check an area etc? Thanks

Exhaust inspection system light on!
pboothy55 replied to Croat's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
My exhaust inspection warning came on this week too along with an intermittent cruise control warning lamp also. Car is driving fine and is not in limp mode. Car booked into dealers again tomorrow so hopefully I can pass on what they say could be the fault/remedy. (The car was in last week for an automatic headlight fault warning that turned out to be a windscreen sensor and replaced under warranty but would of cost £190 had it not been) -
Also does anybody that has an intake want to sell their standard mk3 airbox?
-
Thanks for the replies. I have a K&n panel filter in at the minute but I miss the sound that an intake makes rather than for any power. So really the intake is only really for noise so don't want to spend a fortune. I will be remapping in the future for my power gains I can't seem to find a K&n intake for the mk3's. I saw someone had a CTS turbo intake but can't seem to find a UK stockist. I'll check out the links above though. Thanks
-
Hi Are there any intakes available for the 2.0 tsi? Are the ones available for the mk7 golf gti the same fitment? Thanks

18" gemini alloys with tyres for sale
pboothy55 replied to Smoggie's topic in Wheels & Tyres For Sale
It was worth a shot. I'm fully aware of the price of tyres but to some its worth getting something rather than having them lying about a garage indefinately. -

Retrofitting Cruise Control
pboothy55 replied to rjb1971's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks for that Neily. I have DSG and find that even when selecting a gear manually there isn't much engine breaking when going downhill compared to manual cars I've had, hence the question re braking. Not to worry though that doesn't really matter. In terms of the correct stalk does anyone know the exact part no? I read earlier that someone 'thought' it was the part no without the A. Can anyone confirm the correct part no so I can check what the dealer is going to order? Thanks- 164 replies

Retrofitting Cruise Control
pboothy55 replied to rjb1971's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have contacted 3 local(ish) dealers about getting this fitted to my TSI Vrs today. 2 replied and said it can be done. (one quoted £325 and the other £375). 1 replied and said it cant be done as my car has an on board computer? So will be booking it in in the very near future to get it done. Just out of curiosity can anyone who has it let me know if the cruise control has a brake function? (So if your going downhill it will brake to keep you at the desired speed?) Many thanks- 164 replies
