Hello all I would just like to thank everyone on here for being so helpful and knowledgeable you are a great bunch of guys!! I would like to make a special shoutout to 'Nige8021' for sending me the heated seat wiring diagram for my Octavia, it was extremely helpful and I did get half way through I was just after some L&K seats but seem quite rare. But on the 15 January the Octavia was hit up the rear and written off Category B (Breaker only) and with a few phone calls I have managed to get the car back, and have a plan to use the engine and box in a MK4 Golf which has a rather tired petrol engine. Thanks again guys enjoy your Skoda's !! I am now currently driving a BMW

I'm not suprised the engine is worn being a 1.4 in an octavia how many miles has it done ? bet its not the quickest !!

Hello Skoda driver yes I have had the door card off and the plug is spotless no water ingress at all and no green contacts

Those VE engines like above don't actually have an EML they just put a flashing glow light on if something is a miss and usually puts it in limp mode having bought and sold recently an Audi A3 with a similar VE engine (a 110 as apose to the 90 above) that has a de cat and egr delete it passed MOT first time you have to make sure it looks standard because the MOT tester won't know exactly what was fitted to what car in what year. Get it blanked !! itll do the engine a power of good not breathing in its own exhuast

Hello all after a full frustraiting day of messing with my octavia trying to fix the mad central locking doing whatever it pleased locking whilst driving unlocking when parked up clicking randomly etc I have narrowed it down to the central convenience module (1C0 959 799 B ) I have removed said module and now the car locks fine on the key and seems to be keeping quiet, now my question is if I buy a random one of these modules off ebay (same part number of course) will my original remotes work or will I have to get new ones programmed ?? I have VCDS that i got given off a friend of mine but no idea how to program keys ive only ever used codes and live data on my various VAG projects. Cheers all J

It's probably knackered euro car parts should stock them

Hi all me again Will Skoda superb 1 seats fit in to a 1u2 Octavia ?? Cheers James

Hi all, I have a set of Octavia L&K wheels that need referb'ing but I am unsure of the colour name/paint code can anyone help ? Cheers James

Cheers I might have a look at that im not that bothered about changing the MFD Head unit as i'm actually quite fond of it and the navigation does come in useful sometimes also i am quite fond of the OEM look Cheers

Hello all I'm just wondering how long you've had your battery in your skoda, mine is a 2002 plate and still got the original battery !! Anyone else in a similar situation ?? Strange question I know but I think 16 years old is pretty dam good for a battery

Cheers all for your replys i will have a look on the volume menu and have a play around Many Thanks all !!

Hi Thanks for your reply So what is wrong with the mfd unit is it a fault with it or a limit or is it just badly designed?? Cheers

Hi All I know absolutely nothing about ice so you'll have to bear with me, I have a mk1 2002 octavia with an MFD1 Radio I have an aux lead plugged into it and i plug my iPod into it but if im listening to quiet songs the volume won't really go loud enough its like the mfd has a volume limit ?? Would upgrading the speakers help ? If so I want some that will fit into the door without any modification and so the oem plastic mesh will fit over it like the original. price doesnt really bother me just as long as its right cheers James

If its drums on the back could be wheel cylinders mine did the same

You could put a resistor on to the airbag plug which will make the ecu think that everything is present and correct Nige8021 will probably be able to assist more because he is **** hot on octavia's !! Defiantly knows his stuff

Should they just slot straight in though ? The Pins wont be different ? What about the bulb failure will the ambiance support that ? Cheers

Hi All I have got a set of Octavia 1 L&K Clocks and was wondering if they were a straight swap into an octavia ambiance I know the immobilizer would need programing I did unplug my clocks and plug the new clocks in to see what happened they did work but i got bulb failure, airbag fault and the windscreen washer light came on (im guessing i could wire the sensor up) ??? Also is there anyone who has got an L&K Complete heated seat wiring loom available ? I would pay up to £70 for please inbox me!!

Hi sorry for being thick nige but which colour wires do i need to connect to the plug and cheers for the part number it is most appreciated!!

Cheers all for your replysdo you mean the mpg screen in the centre of the display? I don't have that I have an mpg calculator where the clock is on the left hand side hope this helps

Hi All I have had a Skoda MFD 1 Radio kicking around for years but only just found the time to put it in my octavia ive got everything hooked up and its working fine with 2014 maps loaded but the only problem is I dont know what the plug is for on the back to the left ( see red circle on attached picture) Does anyone have any ideas what it is and where i could get the appropriate wires from ?? My Car is a 2004 octavia laurin and klement Thanks

No I am actually a mechanic ... the undertray is brand new as the old on was knackered but when I go along our road the car scrapes on the undertray which is why the other one went knackered I'm looking for stiffer springs or lifting springs so it won't knacker the new undertray up

Hi All, Yes the springs have been on since original, so they could have sagged like you say, ill try brandnew springs and shocks, sorted about the heated seats someone has sent me a diagram oh and thanks for the info simspj my skoda has factory fitted heated seats the reason i wanted a wiring diagram is becasue they both stopped working suddenly but i found the relay once looking at the diagram so ive sorted it now Thanks for your help all

Hi all I have a 2002 octavia elegance TDI that is compleatly standard only problem is i live up a very bumpy lane and the car keeps bottoming out, my dad has the same problem with his Bora I was wondering is there a set of springs i can buy that would just raise the car about an inch or 2. Also does anyone have a wiring digram for the heated seats for an Octavia I Thanks James

Hi all I have a 2002 Octavia 1 (best one in my opinion) that has a leak every time it rains in the back near side quarter behind the cd changer and behind the carpet it forms a pool at the back and ends up soaking all my wires in water!!! By the way it's defiantly not the rear windscreen washer pipe because I've had someone look at the pipe when I have pressed the washer in the car!! I will post some pictures later Thanks in advance !!
