Many Thanks for reply thought I would add an update as may help others. Purchased a Topdon 600 Pro diag and connected up to Rapide. Correctly identified the vin number and carried out fault code scan. It brought up PO67200 cylinder 2 glow plug circuit. So looks like it is the glow plug I need to replace. Cleared fault and car was driven a good few miles without further light. Expected this to come back on with next cold start that it did the following morning. The Topdon was able to read the Ash load in the DPF that was zero as had been driven hard to clean it. Out of interest put the Topdon on my later Octavia and it read the Ash load in filter as 11g max being 80. Just got to hope glowplug comes out ok with hot engine. Can't see how this pre soaking helps as it's compression sealed and won't sleep down till thread is cracked slightly. After glow plug moves can see release oil being handy but not before? Thanks for reply that Carista with sub looks good.

Hi All have a Skoda 1.6TDI CXMA engine. Recently the EMF warning light has come on static orange. I wondered if this could indicate an series of incomplete regen cycles? The cooling fan has been coming on full chat after a very short run when stopping. Have taken vehicle for a good blast holding down in 3rd to increase engine revs and get it really warm to hopefully create a regen. Fans have not been coming on since and performance is as normal. I know I need to hopefully read the fault code. I wondered if this light could stay in even if a regen has happened and need resetting This leads me to my second question I have a very cheap OBD plug in reader with digital display. I'm thinking of investing in a better diagnosis tool. It seems a bit of a minefield as to what to get around the £200 mark. Can anyone make any recommendations on diag tools. Many Thanks

In reply to my own topic as may help others to cure this issue: Having had Adblue warning message come up on dash purchased 20ltr of Adblue about £25 and display said min amount to add was 10ltr. plastic drum fortunately came with filler spout and attempted reset leave ignition on for 20 seconds plus before starting but did not reset. Having done some further research seemed problem could be did not add enough now down to only 700 mile range according to counter I looked at drum and clearly had not added enough as should of been half of drum topping it back up again followed procedure ignition on 20/30 seconds and relieved it reset. So it is important to add close to the the volume it says on display to avoid issues with it not resetting also do not overfill have read that can cause issues with calibration. Finally do not ignore this warming or range indicator you can get to a a point where car will not start as tank is depleted. Hope this may help others..

Hi all, Tried a search but could not find info, Having recently had the Adblue range warning message come up on the dash I added about 12 Ltrs and followed the procedure to leave ignition on for 30 seconds actually left it on longer and turned off and restarted engine. However the counter has failed to reset , I did find something online that indicated it could be reset with VCDS ? The car is a 1.6 TDi on a 20 plate not yet 3 year olds with 19.5K on clock. Thanks for assistance

I did finally get it released and it enabled me to lower it enough to get to the back of it after releasing the clips and very carefully levering it forward. I did remove the two lower relays to help get it passed the glove box frame. Before I read your post I can up with the same method of inserting a thin electrical screwdriver through the aperture from the front of panel were I wanted to locate wires to guide them in. I did not see any locking strip but after pushing in pulled cable to check latch had located on cable pins. Just got a screen full of warning light that hopefully will clear after a drive. Stop start , Parking brake, TPS 😠 Many thanks for reply.

Having recently acquired a Skoda Octavia 1.6Tdi pre facelift on a 20 Plate my first Skoda, I could use some help. I am in the process of fitting a towbar (Brink Demountable) that is now installed and connecting the dedicated ECS wiring kit at the front of the car to the Can Bus H & L at the body ECU that I have done after removing the glove box lid and side trim panels with no problems but need to get access to the rear of the fuse panel to insert three wires that provide the Ign & Live supply to the Trailer Module. Does anyone know how to get at rear of fuse panel i.e unclip it to lower it ? I can see three clips that seem to hold it to plastic panel but it does not want to move see photo attached. Many Thanks John
