I'm having a similar issue, all warning have lit up on the dash it's telling me to check my parking sensors and bulb could this be a related issue ?? Thanks

Can anyone help ? This only started last night when I turn the ignition on it asks me to check all my lights, it list most of the lights dipper beam, indicators, rear fog lights and so on it also mentioned my parking sensors. My front passenger head light wasn't working as well as others but after a few minutes the drivers side started to work again along with other lights. Any ideas ?? Thanks

Sorry it's been so long for a update, car has been sorted now I ended up taking it to a private garage Skoda did not offer me a penny. It's cost me £2900 for the work carried out the car is running better than ever.

Right I need some advice as you may have seen my previous posts Iv had a Ba#%#rd with skoda, my car is currantly at a garage having the work carrierd out, the mechanic is asking if I want to go down the route of changing the Pistons, Iv seen the them my self and can't say there is any major damage cracks or dinks in them are our car prone to burning oil after this work has been carried out should I say yes do it or will it be ok on past experience ?? Thanks guys

Contacted what car with your issue I have today, i emailed watchdog as well last week something needs to be done about it and the more people shout the better it is. There was a technical bulletin which was circulated amongst skoda dealerships on 23rd Aug 2013 highlighting the exact fault we had with our vehicles.

Well that's a kick in the balls skoda will not offer me any good will and because I brought private I can not pursue the manufacturer in this fault. Any one got a spare £5000 lying around for a new engine block gutted is a understatement.

I want to add my self to this list 59plate octavia VRS 31k FSSH timing chain fault resulting in new engine needed @£5000 could do with all the help I can get as its about time skoda/VAG held there hands up to this fault, I'm trying to find out how many people have had this problem, I will also try other forms with this engine.

No don't have any warranty I'm out of luck there. I will have to see what they say first there's know way I can afford £6000+ for a new engine that's for sure.

Hi everyone Just to add to the list Octavia 59plate VRS 2.0tsi engine only just clocked 30k! Did buy private at 25k. I'm at my parents holiday home so not local and the car does not start, AA have been out to me and it looks very much like the tensioner as everyone has described. I will be transporting the car back up to the midlands tomorrow as I'm in Devon and want to get it to a local garage. Should I go straight to my local skoda garage and see what they say ? I'm not happy at all 30k with fssh and having this problem is ridiculous for a engine so widley used in so many diffarant cars.

Thanks for the help lads, iv installed subs in most my cars but wasnt sure if this would be a pain from what the foams have been saying I know what I'm looking at now cheers

ok mate sound I'll look into, any advice on cable routing earth points and is it safe enough to come straight off the battery with the power cable as I'm sure I read some where it's not advisable to do that ??

Can anyone point me to a form on how people have installed a Sub and amp on there standard Head unit and can it be done before I decide to buy. This would help me out a lot Thanks

When I turn the the traction control off the light comes on but flashes on and off is this normal? Cheers
