Welcome to the forum. Isn't it a bit pointless fitting one of those into an airbox?
-
In the other posts I have seen for this fault, it appears that a faulty wiper stalk was the cause. If the stalk was in the 'Auto-wipe' position rather than Off when this happens, the cause can be a dirty screen around the rain sensor behind the RV mirror.

Welcome to the forum. The two messages are simply showing the reason why Stop/Start (idle stop) is being inhibited - not for A/C errors. You will need to get any fault codes (DTCs) read to find why your A/C is not performing correctly - it may be short of refrigerant. Do you get any cooling at all? Do you get the usual quantity of air-flow through the vents? When was the cabin (pollen) filter last replaced?

From the little I have been able to see online, there should be a release tab on the exposed end of the jack, beneath the metal cable crimp - that needs to be pressed-in to allow the jack to release. That might be just below the 'whitish' section shown in your 2nd and 3rd images.

Looking at the poor filler job in image 1, plus the rust appearing in the others, my guess would be that the repair was nothing much more than a DIY Bondo [tm] and a 'blow-over' paint job. A quick online search suggests a proper rear quarter panel replacement can run to £3k or more - is the Stealer prepared to do that?

@Alasdair1 On my Octavia, there is a 'tick option' in the infotainment settings for unlocking all doors - or just drivers door (haven't checked on SWMBOs Fabia) Have you checked that?
-
Are you able to read live temperature data when it dumps the coolant?
-
Hopefully it will be the circ pump.
-
Did you use a new pressure cap when you replaced the expansion vessel? - Ignore, I should have gone to specsavers! - I see you did.
-
@Tankessex Did a vacuum refill on the coolant system resolve your problem?
-
AFAIK, auto relock only operates if the vehicle is unlocked, then left for more than approx. 35 seconds without any door being opened.

No you misunderstand me, Skoda UK appear to be now stating that the cambelt should not have had work done on it, since it left the factory, that may be the cause of the cam sprocket bolts becoming loose - yet only 2 years ago, they were mandating 5-year replacements! I believe that current cambelt life is now stated as 'life' or at least 120K miles.

OK, so you can tow up to 2000kg braked trailer provided your rear axle weight does not exceed 1340kg.

If your meter has a 3 volt (or higher) battery test function, this applies a small load on the cell while showing the available voltage (unloaded cell voltages are not particularly useful)

Thanks for the reply. Did your independent report include any pictures? Was there any mention of the clutch diaphragm at all? The diaphragm supplies the clamping-pressure for the clutch linings - for sudden clutch failure as you described for at least the second failure, diaphragm failure would be a strong suspect. Did the second clutch first start slipping immediately after changing up a gear?
-
I've seen quite a few reports of 'new' button-cell battery being faulty, are you able to load-test with a meter?
-
-
Have you tried replacing the fob battery?
-
Binding brakes could be the problem - how much hotter is the 'warm' one to the opposite side? Another possibility is failing DPF regens, that can seriously affect fuel consumption and cause a burning smell.
-
Odd that you are unable to find the load plate! The tow weights should also be shown on the Irish version of the V5C document.
-
There is a fairly common issue with the park selector microswitch going faulty on some models - I believe there is even a repair kit for it.

@andrewclark55 Have you resolved this problem with battery discharge?
