  1. Yes Simeon is right, unless you have the electric memory seats then the dipping exterior mirror will not work as it needs the memory software that comes with the seat to enable it to work.

    According to the specifications, Elegance models, the far side mirror should dip on engaging reverse when properly set. The memory is not dependent on electric seats.

    The engine warning light has been flickeringm on and off at its own mind some time now,

    The garage is telling us the ECU is giving too low voltage to the Lambda, and the ECU is to be replaced, 600Quid!!The car is , of course, still running, and fine, ,but I still wanbt to know if anything serioud can happen.

    Sorry, sorry!

  4. OK! Let's get it sorted!(all the following is referring to wife's Fabia

    The yellow warning light started to show two month's ago. the garage claimed the ECU is giving too low voltage to the Lambda. The warning light is not present at all times, but gives me a hell! Anyone got an idea??

  5. Hi,

    thanks for all the replies, I have got it booked in for a cambelt and tensioner change next week. I have noticed on a quick start there is another noise which sounds like a belt slipping, any ideas on that one?.

    Does anyone use injector cleaner which you put in the fuel tank I believe?

    Cheers

    Good luck with your new Fabia! Wife's Fabia. same as yours, is 7 years old now, and has worked fine, most of the time, exept from a few things:

    At 37000 km: front right side wheel bearing failed ( sorry, no warranty)

    At 44000 km: front left side wheel bearing failed (same history as over, although the manager at the garage tried hard )

    The car

  6. I had a quick crawl under the car earlier and I could hardly get any movement on the actuator arm. Granted I did not remove the vacuum pump, but the car has not moved since Friday and therefore I assumed that pipe removal would not have much affect... or should I have pulled the pipe off and then tried? However Westover Skoda assured me that there was full movement in the vanes...... *

    Anyway the tray is back on so I can't try that now - I knew I should have checked on here first! But at least my air con pump has not fallen to bits (which is why I was checking!).

    Oh and mine had have the new coloured 109 relay....

    --

    * that was after they had taken the turbo off the car and checked it - but I am not sure they actually did!!!

    You have to remove the vacuum-hose to try the movement, otherwise the actuator itself gives too much resistance. Try this the next time you are under the car! ( And dont forget to put the hose back on!)

  7. Hi every1, please bear with me this is my 1st ever posting.

    I have a 110 tdi octavia elegance on a 2001 that has a fault like the ones described but it feels as tho its running just as a plain diesel ie, sluggish. But if you pull over switch off and start back up it seems to reset and is off like a shot.

    Any ideas cos it seems to be getting a bit more frequent now so want to get it sorted before it goes completely.

    Cheers for any help.

    See my previous post in this thread. Try to check the actuator on the turbo (and keep your fingers crossed!:thumbup:

  8. That happened on my old Octy, turned out to be a sticking actuator on the turbo.

    We had to open it and clean it, and then back to normal again. You can get access to it from underneath the car (difficult tho) Pull off the vacuum hose and try the movement. If it doesnt move, its probably sticking vanes in the turbo itself. Hopefully not, a new turbo is exspensive!
