  1. Bit of a strange one here guys!!! I keep getting an error message when in driving,"workshop error place vehicle in P. Yes its a VRS 2016 TFSI DSG,and about 2 weeks ago i came to a stop at a roundabout engine stopped as is normal,went to drive off and it said start engine manually!!! Started fine but as i drove away it seemed it would only change a couple if gears,i usually run in vrs mode so i stopped and switched into normal mode and it drove ok,but still keep getting this error message????
  2. Any other vrs Octavia owners in north devon/south molton area,just seems im in a bit of a dead area for other skoda owners!!!!!
  3. Just p/exd my 2007 octy mk2 vrs tfsi for a rallye green 2016 mk3 tfsi dsg vrs with all the bits and Bob's . Wow drove home from Coventry to north devon ,what a beast!!!
  4. Did a complete reset to factory settings and problem solved!!!
  5. Saw an octavia mk3 v rs dsg on line,rang them and within 24 hours got a good p /ex for my vrs mk2 ,finance sorted within 3 hours.I live in north devon so had not even seen the car only pictures.Drove up the following week had superb service from all the sales staff,the car was absolutely mint ,paperwork completed within 2 hours then drove home to north devon in what I can only describe as a really green rocket!!!!. Even a full tank of fuel,so well done Listers.
  6. It's definitely not the voice control,I will check on the nav settings but i have not been near any cameras as far as i know .thanks.
  7. Can anyone help,i have just brought a 2016 rallye green octy vrs tsi,absolutely fab car and drive experience except for one thing,sometimes, but not always I get an audiable warning "bloop" like noise from side door speakers and not from the radio area, the dealership did not know what it is and nothing in the handbook tells you. I have read previous threads and as this is m y 5th skoda I know it is not the outside temp sensor!!!! when it makes the sound if the radio is on it drops the sound very briefly like 5 seconds. it sometimes will not do it for ages then another time it does it 2 or 3 times in as many minutes.
  8. Thanks m8 I was thinking along those lines need to get VPN checked to see which it is.
  9. hi guys for about the last 3 weeks on starting the engine of my 2007 octy tfsi vrs the tyre pressure light stays on , along with the esp light and the abs sensor light after driving for literally seconds they would all clear, then this week they now stay on permanently,any suggestions?
  10. Can anyone tell me how I can find out if the MFD2 radio/cd/satnav was originally fitted to my car or if it has been changed? I have checked all the serial codes out in my service booklet but no joy.
  11. Morning guys I have a 2007 octy tfsi vrs fitted with an mfd2 sat nav radio,bought the car july 2015 and have never had to put in the security code. took car out yesterday and the radio was fine.stopped off and when I restarted the car the starter motor made a bit of a strange noise ,the car started but then radio was asking for security code ,so in guessing the starter motor gave a small power surge? surprise surprise I don't have the security code.i have disconnected the battery and am now waiting to see if that works. further on from this ever since I have had the car it has had a battery drain that after about ten days the car is dead,battery is less than 6 months old,it has been to my local skoda dealer several times but no faults show!!!!! I have read that in some cases it can be the radio that is at fault can anyone help please. thanks.
