AUX is fixed. Will an exhaust sensor from a scrapyard do the job?

Is it relatively straightforward to replace the AUX port? Is it the same part across all models of Skoda? I assume scrapyards or ebay would be the places to look? Thanks

Thanks. Will give it a shot.

I can't see a silver ring. Will I need a new aux socket? Thanks

I am looking to use the AUX socket near the handbrake. Thanks

The one above I had in my old car, this one I bought it doesn't fit.

On a different note, which AUX cable will fit please? I have tried two that I have but the end is too thin? Thanks

Spoke too soon. Same lights are back on the dashboard.

Hi. I've managed to take the radio out, borrowed the specific screwdriver from the garage lads across the road. Cleared the warning lights using the elm327 bluetooth adapter. Not sure what I need to do now with the radio code. I cannot seem to find anyone on ebay who I can buy a code from for this specific radio. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks

Hi. Am I putting this the new tech in the right place in the lilac slot on the RHS of the pic below? Doesn't seem to work with Torque lite the free app? Should it automatically pair or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. What do you mean by cycling the ignition? All being well I will try out my new tech at the weekend and see if I can remove the warning lights manually.

Cheers

Right thanks for your replies. As I am not familiar with the car this may seem like a silly question but where does the elm327 dongle fit please? It has teeth at the bottom. Does it fit in the same place where the diagnostic machine does under the steering wheel somewhere? Thanks

Thanks. Will see if I can get the glovebox open. Wrt radio, put a flat blade screwdriver around the radio you mean? Old skoda just needed two keys either side and then prise it out. This one seems more involved as no screws visible? Appreciate your help.

Hi. I've tried this a few times. Still wants a code.

Thanks

Hi thanks for your advice and help. I have had the car checked out by my local mechanic, who has told me that the exhaust sensor needs replacing which is quite an expensive part about £80 new and £20 from scrappers. Not sure whether to actually replace it as I was advised car will be fine without having to replace it. Plus if it comes off then putting on the new one shouldn't be an issue but if it cracks then the DPF will have to be taken off and the new exhaust sensor welded on. Sounds like a lot of work to me, plus he said its aluminium so can't be heated too much? Not sure what to do might just leave it for now or get a second opinion perhaps?

Thanks for your help. I have bought an elm327 dongle. Would the torque lite app do the same job? Has better reviews on Google play store. Is there anything similar to obtain a radio code? I'll have to take the radio out otherwise to see what the the code is if there is a label in the back of it. Not sure how to go about it. I had some keys in my old skoda that hooked into either side of the radio so it could be pulled out. Are there any specific tools for the the newer Skodas? Thanks

Hi. Thanks. Can I get these from ebay I assume? Torque Pro is that software? Thanks

Thanks I'll have to get it checked out. Engine faults? Sounds serious. Hope it's not.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have done as advised and for now DPF light is off. I rang dealership wrt radio, they can't sort it without plugging in a diagnostic machine which is £30 and I would have to wait a week. I contacted an eBay seller wrt a radio code who advised the same about a VCDS, I haven't the foggiest what to do, is there anyway of finding the code on the radio without having to take it out? I know it starts with SZ as per ebay seller but that's it. Any ideas please? Plus as one light on the dash goes off another has come on. There was a coil light flashing like a slinky spring opened currently off, from experience with my previous skoda it means something to with the brake lights? A sensor or something? I might be wrong. Attached photo. I bought the car privately and the seller seemed genuine and the car has been parked up since January, could this be a factor with the current issues? Wrt brakes I'll have to ask my local mechanic to get it in the ramp and have a look perhaps. Thanks for everyone's help and input, much appreciated 👍🏽

Hi all. I have bought the above vehicle today. I have a few questions please. Apologies if these have been answered elsewhere. 1. How do I get the DPF filter light to go off? I have read in other posts about driving the car for about 15mins at high revs? Or using an additive e.g. Millers or VPower fuel? Never had this issue on my 2002 SDI. Previous owner says car has been parked up for about 4 months? 2. New battery was put in and now the radio needs a code. The previous owner doesn't have a owner's handbook unless it is in the glove box which I am having difficulty opening. Where do I find the engine code code to get a code of ebay? I've looked in the door panels, under the bonnet and under the boot where the spare tyre should be. 3. Front brakes when applied screech lightly making it sound dry like chalk on a blackboard. Does it require lubricant? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
