I have exactly the same issue on mine so will be interesting to see if you cure it.
I was going to wait till the warmer weather and remove headlining to see where it leaks from.

I might be wrong but i think Carista does'nt work on a mk1.
Im also pretty sure any bluetooth or wireless dongle will be fine (i use a wireless dongle which cost about £7 on amazon)

Assuming you have a smart phone. You can buy a cheap obd2 reader from the internet that links to your phone via wireless or via bluetooth.
Handy little tool to keep in the ashtray/glovebox etc. Not as in depth as VCDS but can get you a better understanding of what the codes are.
I replaced my MAF after having similar symptoms with a bosch refurb unit from a local motorfactors on exchange basis and its been great ever since.

I don't think it should with belt plugged in.

The chimes are just a reminder to put your seatbelt on.

I think these are the ones I bought. They are definitely brighter, I will try and take some pictures if I get a chance.
The listing is for 10 so I bought 20 and for £1.98 can't complain at that price.

I had one of mine blow a few months back and replaced all with led bulbs which I got for a few pound from china.

Well I bought myself a regulator off of eBay and now have a working electric window for the first time in 18 months..
When I removed motor off the old one the cables were like a birds nest around the gear on the motor.
Also anyone doing this remember to reconnect doir release cable before refitting door card :lol:

Well after owning my octy for 18 months thought I would finally investigate why the rear passenger window has never worked..
It clicks when buttons pressed on drivers door panel but no power to rear door.
So I took off the rear door card which was easier than I expected and this is what I found..
I'm thinking the regulator is knackered and it's been bodged rather than repaired..
The reason for no power was it wasn't even plugged in and now I know why.
Any ideas?

I replaced mine with a standard second hand one from a mk4 golf.

I had the same problem. Managed to solve it the same way as bowders by removing roof trim and a bead of sealant along where any cracks were in the paint.

I have Beru coilpacks in my octy and they've been brilliant.

Hope you enjoy vrs ownership. I love mine. It might not be the cleanest or most reliable but puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

A scan is always a good starting point. If there are codes showing up these could be old. Depends when it last had a scan.
Dead battery
in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Posted
Mine did exactly this when battery died. would start fine first thing then after driving if i stopped at a petrol station it wouldn't start unless bumped.
Did this for a few weeks until one cold morning where the battery had completely failed and i couldn't get it started at all.
