Google Translate
the site linked to above suggests that the problem is not the regulator but the resistors underneath it
Hi kynastonp;1794054,
My son already did translation for this one, as is the link and date. And so see this here:-
http://briskoda.net/octavia-i/russ-english-instrument-help-us/154674/
Is this by a co incident now, that you also have seen this? This was done last week!!!!!!

Hi good old Soviet here,
This link is coming from a Volkswagen Russ website here. I do not know if this repair is good one, but my son did as good translation for English speaking.

Maybe this will help soon.

Did anything happen with sending the information about the faulty instrument panels to Skoda UK? If I remember correctly this is affecting most early model Octavia I owners on this forum with the exception of any with 1.8T engines.
Hi chicken_eyebrow,
Felecia racer may be better to answer this for you I think, as he is still doing this now, and so I am waiting also for this.
Thank you for liking my thread, but my son is doing most of hard work for it.
Kind Regards for you

Hi Good old soviet here,
Riki of Italy made contact to me yesterday, and ask if I would check Volkswagen Russ website as for information that is new now for instrument panel. I now ask my son to put this to English as it may be help for Briskoda.

hi i don't know if you are realy russian but i said it worth the try there is a site http://volkswagen.msk.ru who has alot of technical stuff for wv and alot of things are in russian (the wv internal stuff too who cannnot find annyware else) you might wanna take a look.
For the dash board problem did you get anny further?? did you control the resistors (if there is anny) connected to the v. regulators?? (i'll take a peak thiese days but for now i don't have much time..)
Tks alot....

TRANSLATE RUSS TO ENGLISH FOR US HERE:-
Many owners of 8-10 year old Octavias have a problem with the dashboard needles failing. We needed to go back and look at the fault again, as we found some information on a UK forum. In many forums it is written that the cause of the drive for the stepper motors and the failure of the needles is the regulator, and by the way that is it.
You cannot get to the panel easily, and so the needles need to be removed, to enable one to access two resistors which are located on the other side of the PCB and are acting as the stabilize , but when they get warm/overheat the start to inhibit the properties of the regulator. The resistors share a common point to the other side of the card, and so the solder on the connections for them needs to be made good again with a very small low wattage soldering iron.
1) Removing the indicator needles.
Many people are having a fear of doing this operation, as they think that the needles are not strong enough to be removed without breaking, but there are no worries over this. It is good at this point to make a note of the exact position of the needles prior to removing them. Take two thin screwdrivers which broad blades, and put them either side of the needles bar and lever upwards, and do not worry about breaking them as I have already said that these are strong here. Do not also worry if the black cap comes off of the centre of the needle as this is replaced easily later, and is not a problem.
2) The connections need to be soldered and tested from these resistors on both sides of the board.
3) Disassemble the cover by bending the metal retaining lugs on the reverse of the PCB once the needles are removed. After soldering and reassembly, it is advisable to put the needle pointer to the end stop, but and error can be corrected with the dash board connected back in to the car. I then drove the car at 5km/h to show that the zero position was correct, or if further adjustment is needed.
4) The opinion of many is that there is no guarantee that the problem will not reoccur and so a transistor like heatsink could be fitted to the regulator as this also gets hot. [translation from Soviet’s son as help, means to fit a transistor type heatsink also to the regulator as per TO220 package, type I think)
The solder connection from these resistors to the other side of the card, is common to all the sensors and are physically connected to pin 7 of the blue 32 pin main connector wiring loom socket, to the microprossessor. The slightest break in the chain (bad solder etc) will cause the symptoms that are described.

Hi Nimay,
I have this problem too, not long ago here. It is so easy to do this job yourself, and save money from the garage. It is taking around 1 hour to do this.
If you need help, then I will tell you.

Guess what everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS FIXED
:eek::mw::huep::friday:Up until 4:30 am this morning but its finally all back to normal.
As some kind of cr@p luck would have it, the R32 master cylinder and servo i spent hours and hours fitting on Monday and Tuesday turned out to be duff :( So, all the boost pipe work off again and many hours dropping the engine and pulling it out of the way later, i got it all out again.
Got another servo and master cylinder and set about fitting it all again last night. This time with fantastic results, the brakes let go of the discs, ta da. Pedal feel is spot on again and she pulls up like never before.
Now lets have a laugh and see what has been changed during this ball ache:
4 Calipers
Flexible brake lines
1 R32 Servo
1 Golf GT TDi Servo
2 Skoda Master Cylinders
1 R32 Master cylinder
1 ABS Pump unit
3 Pedals
and £80 worth of dot 5.1 brake fluid.
Despite all this i still love my car. He is going to get a bloody good wash, polish and wax this weekend as it has got quite dirty over the past 8 weeks.
Thanks for all your support and advise from those that have contributed to helping me find the problem.
Oh, in a nut shell it was the Servo. I must have damaged it while bleeding the brakes after putting my calipers back on after painting
Thanks Again
Garry
Hi GarryC,
I am very pleased that you have managed the job here, as you had bad luck also.

Do not touch these life insurance plans with a bargepole, unless you can't get life cover any other way!
Oh and I'm still several years off 50, but still get these things mailed to me!!
Hi KenONeill,
You are correct here again I am thinking as these plans are not good, and I would not be touching them with a badgepole.
It is seeming that they are starting on you early here, by giving you this mail already, and you must beware of knock the door here and man with tape measure.

Did Mrs Soviet then proceed to the kitchen to make you a cuppa? :eek:
...you're doomed! :P
Hi simbo99,
Thank you for help that you give me with my computer problem before here.
Yes beware of 'cuppa from Mrs Soviet time' now I think. I do not know how Mrs Soviet is making tea, as it is as if coming from the volcano here, and is bubbling and fuming, and I am needing asbestos gloves always.
I burn my mouth many times, and I always need to let it do cooling for 20 minutes.
So strange I think, yes and maybe I am doomed.

My feeling is that, as long as you've got the discipline to save, you'd do better sticking the money in a building society account on a regular basis.
These organisations rely on the fact that the majority of people won't have the discipline to commit to regular saving during their life, then, come the big 50, suddenly realise they are 10 -15 years off retirement and potless
I can't see how it can produce a better return that a savings account, what with management fees and the fact that your contributing to a smaller fund (i.e less than the size of the average number of savings account in any one financial institution), unless, of course, they prepared to put the money at greater risk.
Of course the free-bee musical toaster may be beyond value.Doh !

Hi Clunkclick,
Your explaination is serious one here, and i am aggreeing with you. May be there should be the free tin of musical beans to put on toast, for musical toaster.

Don't forget the free clock if you take out the plan! You often see the man in these ads loking a bit sickly and the wife looking good for another 30 years. As my late uncle used to say "man is worked into the grave".
Hi Tailhappy,
This is so true what your uncle says here as the woman have it so easy I think:rofl:
I need the clock that is always part of me to keep going here, I hope.

'I beat the insurance company!' exclaimed the pensioner as they nailed the coffin lid shut.
Hi gillywibble,
As usual you are having wicked sense of humour, but not so funny for Soviet as he is now past halfway for 60 here.

You crack me up.
There's something serious to bear in mind about those plans though. many of them don't pay out under any circumstances except death (Ok, that's no surprise), but if you stop the plan and you haven't died yet, you lose all your money :(
Anyway, 50 isn't old, and 40 is positively young (says the man that turns 40 this year...)
Hi cjb,
I am pleased here that I crack you up, but with serious side I am noow more towards to 60 yers than is 50 now.
I would not ever be doing these insurance plans, for reasons that you say here.
Regards for you

I read many moons ago about this same problem and the following was posted on this forum, don't know if it is of any help but it hows the modules that are the cause of the problem.
Hi hussarman,
Thank you for this link as put I did post this one before. Some one on Briskoda was saying that regulators are cause of fault but this was never confirmed here, and I was not finding this either, and no one has ever found fault with instrument panel yet I think, and not regulators either here.
I did posting of Regulator details that you find here, to be of help for other guys, who were looking for fault here. Ideas here have been connectors, board print, componant electrical breakdown. I am thinking that it is componant electrical breakdown, but schematic is not availiable, and the panel access to do the faulting work is not so good, and so I did not find the fault here. My one before I retire, was higher technical officer, electronics/computing and I know about all this stuff, and so I made test rig, for the problem, but could not track the fault.
I think that first I did the cure for the problem with the back panel connectors, but the problem happened again, and so I did the replacement of panel from salvage yard for £50, and then had dealer do ECU recode here.
I replace panel 1U2919034A with one 1U2919034B which is meaning now that speedo is reading 10 MPH more than speed that I go, and extra 1,500 millage on odo meter. But this is not problems for me, now.
I think that the only solving of the problem, will be Skoda Company, or Felicia racer taking problems to TVs watchdog, as he is saying here.
Thank you for trying to help with this.
Regards for you

Hi Good old Soviet here,
But not so old Soviet I think, and hope here.
It is now every time that I am turning on the TV here that I see advertisement for over 50 Death insurance plan. We have here Michael Parkinson, June Whitfield, and Cilla Black, and many more of these.
Mrs Soviet and I, are the old ones now, and we see this on TV, and so I say to her that there will be the knock at the door shortly, and one of these celebreties will be standing with the tape measure in hand, and the sickly grin on the face.
The last advertisement was with Liverpool Victoria here, for over 50 plan and there is the grey haired man sitting in the garden who is not the celebrity, and his wife or partner brings him a cup of tea, and I say to Mrs Soviet, I would have made a bet that that is a poison one, and I think that she has the tape measure in her pocket ready for this.
Mrs Soviet is then giving me strange look, and so maybe she has the tape measure in the pocket too.
Now that I am over 50, there are too many of the vulture birds making a circle I think.
Poor old Soviet;):eek::rotz:

Get rid of the un-elected Scot and have a General Election!!
Hi BulletRob,
Then we replace one lot of fiddling scum, with other lot in Uk, and so I say it is the waste of time. I am looking at history before Brown/Blair and we had the bad ones then also .
I hate all politicians here before this, and so now I am correct.
I am sometimes watching the cow boy films on TV, and I think it is the 'Fist full of dollers' with actor Clint Eastwood with the lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach.
I remember here that Lee Van Cleef gives bandito Eli wallach the good kicking before he goes in to saloon, and then Clint Eastwood comes out of saloon here and, Eli Wallach makes complaints that Lee Van Cleef kicked me, then Clint Eastwood is doing this also, but harder now..
Then Eli Wallach is saying one Bast*rd is going in, and another Bast*rd is coming out.
But he did need the two good kickings I think, as he was the very bad guy.
This is like politicians I say, as one lot of B's are going in and another lot of B's are coming out. I do not waste my good time with any of this.
I was seeing on Tv before that news people ask college younsters that have never done voting,'who will you vote for here', and they say Oh we do not bother with that load of Cr*p and I now think that these youngsters are the very clever ones now.
They do not know enough of this' and are not caring anyway I think.
Politicians are all the waste of time here, as even the ones that will now be having power have done the expense fiddles also.

This makes an unbelievable read. The Department of transport has until recently encouraged phasing traffic lights to cause congestion as it resulted in more fuel being used & more tax paid to the treasury. Almost unbelievable. The last few lines refer to their new guidelines regarding fuel taxation, so what else have they forced on us in the interests of raising tax , does that explain the massive growth in traffic calming chicanes, sleeping policemen etc. So much for a greener Government !!
Hi Stuart_J;,
I am living in the town of Swindon now, and there is a hill here with bus stop, and opposite in centre of the road is two white bollards and small island for the pedestrian.
This is going upwards on the hill.
Any one here that is knowing of the town will be thinking of the Kingshill Road, which is what I mean here.
When the bus stops here next to bus shelter then all traffic is behind this one is stopped, as nothing is getting past.
Thank you
