  1. I.0 tsi petrol....engine code DKRF 553524
  2. Octavia petrol, misfiring so into garage. Misfiring on cylinders 2 and 3, changed 3 injectors .....still misfiring, any ideas...Coil, spark plus changed too. Any ideas, the car belongs to a fellow taxi operator
  3. Dont have gundge like that, it was just round the threads if the cap and tank as if someone tried t oseal it up....no leaks and all seems good for now with new cap fitted.
  4. I cant see the bag anywhere..everything is working as it should, heaters etc.....changed the cap for now.
  5. Having the same issue..had to use a wooden block and hammer to move it round. White sticky gundge all round threads, suspect silikat bag has burst. Wont tighten back fully either
  6. Nice people but really short on Skoda knowledge, even trying to buy a skoda from them is a challenge
  7. They are as good as a plastic fireguard, they did get them for me but they were threaded bolts....so I never took them,
  8. Searched everywhere, where do I get the proper screws and clips for the tray....and possibly the tray also
  9. Thanks....I dont have a manual but I'll try and find an image of fusebox, cheers
  10. Hope everyone is keeping safe. Folks, rear wiper/washers suddenly stopped working....Could it be as simple as a fuse? even selecting reverse no wiper movement...any diagrams of the fuse box please. Octavia 16 plate 2litre saloon
  11. ok cheers for that, will have a go tomorrow
  12. I dont have a tester.....what way to test would you suggest please without having a circuit tester
  13. I've tried for the life of me to hard wire this.....no chance. I followed the video, fuse 34 did not help my cause...so it's back to cigarette lighter socket and remember to unplug the cam every night.
  14. Update . Dashcam was causing the battery to go flat.....the car modules would not shut down because of it.S oI've to try hard wiring the cam..Thanks to everyone for the comments
  15. Yes, all Nextbase 522 GW, with the same settings, sd card, wiring etc..
  16. I'm talking about the cars I have now, not previous....5 ( including my Kodiaq) of my present cars are stop/start 3 are not......only one is having dash cam issues. I mentioned 7 above but that was over and above my Kodiaq
  17. Thanks for that one...I will try the hard wire option, but 3 out of my 7 cars have permanent power to the dash cams....with no issues. By the way, that is one detailed instruction on fitting.
  18. No, no towbar fitted. The outcome is the dash cam....The car senses there is a live feed and it drains a battery less than a month old...I just dont get how all my other cars have the exact same dashcam fitted with the exact same settings and they are fine..........I've told the garage they can keep the Kodiaq or give me a car that a dash cam will operate ok. I cannot get my head round how a dashcam can have this effect.
  19. Theres about a dozen Skoda dealerships within a 25 mile radius of me but I went to the local one since I bought the car there. I have a good technician who does my other cars and he suggested a software issue........
  20. Thanks for the responses and advice. ALL my cars have dashcams fitted and they are set up to switch off like suggested above. The car does get used every day with general driving as in 5 miles one day 50 or so the next...I've had cars with dashcams sitting for a week and all is well so the dealer has ruled out dashcam draining the battery. I do not know why the dealer fitted a new battery " We'll fit a new battery and see how that goes " They changed it in the hope that my original was faulty... I've had the car for 18 months and this problem started about 2 months ago, dashcam was fitted well before Christmas, I've even unplugged the cam every night for a week....battery still going flat. something is draining the power but no one knows what. There is a module somewhere that is faulty .....it's in the garage now....as battery was flat again yesterday morning ...As an aside , my daughte has a dash cam in her Fiesta, it's set to record constantly , she is lucky if she does 5 miles a day, sometimes it is a week before it moves ...never has a flat battery. I've also got an Octavia that has not turned a wheel in 8 days...dash cam and taximeter fitted.....no flat battery. Thanks for the replies folks
  21. Nextbase 522......keeps over heating....
  22. Good evening, I hope someoneon here can shed light on an issue I have. My Kodiaq has developed a mystery electrical fault. I have had breakdown assistance 4 times in 6 weeks. I dont trust the car at all now. Dealers fitted a new battery under warranty , 3 weeks ago. In that time the car has twice needed a jump start, battery dead. Something is draining the power but the Skoda garage cannot find the fault. Stop start does not work, get warning about power consumption being high.......after a 120 mile round trip yesterday, tonight battery dead AGAIN. I have this car on PCP ( business) I have told the skoda garage to take it away and dont bring it back. The car is not fit for purpose...VW finance say I will have to pay a large settlement fee for them to cancel the agreement...I've told them to take me to court. Anyone have any advice please. I'm at the end of my patience with this car....and Skoda / VW . Certainly not going to pay for something that does not do as it says on the tin. Thanks
