Do you know the stud pattern- would they fit a mk2 Octavia scout? And do you come down near Bristol or Chepstow at all?! Worth a try!

Locate OEM part number?
Ahh, thank you. My car was registered 14/5/11, so it looks like you're right, it's the one ending B. Cheers.

Locate OEM part number?
Hi all Does anyone know of an (online) source to find an accurate OEM part number for a rear windscreen wiper motor? For a 2011 Octavia Scout 2.0TDI estate car? Googling gives me several options, but I'm not sure which is the correct one, and I think it makes a difference! Thank you.

Check engine light and low fuel?
Ha! Hadn't seen that on here! I've checked, and it's still there, and unmelted...

Check engine light and low fuel?
Hi all Took my car (2.0 TDI Scout, 2011, 104,000 miles) for a long run at the weekend, mainly motorway. Got a bit low on fuel, computer said range 40 miles or so by the time I got home, so I filled up today on the nursery run. (Short journey, about 25 miles range by the time I got there). About halfway into the drive (stop start, engine off and on) the check engine light came on. engine ran fine, no problems, so I kept going thinking it might be due to low fuel. Fuelled up, but engine light still on and after a couple of miles of driving. I read the fault codes when I got home and got P2453, P25454, relating to DPF differential pressure sensor. I cleared the codes, but the engine light still seems to be on - I haven't driven it again yet though. I was wondering, is it possible for low fuel (possibly even a bit of crap at the bottom of my fuel tank) to cause this fault code? Or do I have a DPF pressure sensor or DPF fault too? Seems a bit strange it should pop on after a long motorway run, when usually my driving is a mix of town, A road, motorway... Normally I use proper garage diesel, but today had to put a bit in from Tesco - but the light came on before I got to Tesco petrol station! Thanks for any thoughts.

Spare key not unlocking
Mine is pre-facelift, and not Maxidot I'm pretty sure. And my VCDS contact is out of action due to a motorbike crash! No worries, I'll live with the spare key being the way it is. Thanks for the help, folks.

Spare key not unlocking
Well, so it does! Thanks. Guess the keys are programmed differently by default. Is it possible to reset the spare key to match the main key?

MFD gremlins
Thanks, but I think the battery is ok. Starts easily, runs fine. Will try and put a tester on it later.

Spare key not unlocking
You're right, driver's door unlocks but the rest don't. I don't think I have profile settings on the key, I don't know! it may be that it's only ever unlocked the driver's door and I've not noticed!

Spare key not unlocking
Ps- I don't think it's the battery, as car still responds to the key with locking noises and light flashes?

Spare key not unlocking
Hi again! Another strange thing I noticed tonight- if I use the remote on the spare key, the lights flash and the door locks clunk as usual, but the doors don't actually unlock. I can open the driver's door with the key, but none of the other doors unlock. I seem to be able to lock the doors with the remote. Haven't tried to start the car. It's a while since I've used the spare key, do I need to drive the car using the spare key so it remembers the spare key and let's it fully unlock the doors again, or something? Assuming the spare will still start the car, of course... Thanks.

MFD gremlins
Hi all Bit of an odd one, but other lights on my MFD have started coming on when they shouldn't. So, when my indicators are on, the boot open light comes on too (at about half brightness) and flashes in sync with the indicator. And when the low fuel light comes on, so do the open boot and open door lights! Garage changed my passenger window regulator on Thursday and it's happened since then. Guess they've disturbed a wire or something, so will give them a ring on Monday. But is there any common cause of this which is easy to fix? Wiggle all the wires they wiggled on Thursday again? Thanks.
