Cheers mate, ya I might just try resetting the cables again today, because just this morning when I selected the first gear the parking sensors beeped briefly so it may be just a small bit out of line, This is a car my wife had for 3/4 years, we have it in mainland Europe multiple times and never missed a beat, but unfortunately with a growing family a 7 seater had to be got and so this baby must be sold, but as if it knew it was to be sold because it just started giving issues recently 🤣

No doesn't crunch in reverse only 1st gear

Cheers mate, so mega job to fix,

Hi Guys, I've a 2010 Octavia, 1.9 BXE manual 5speed. Just have noticed that now when I put it into first gear (only happens in 1st) it seems to crunch into gear, all other gears are smooth, When I put it into second and then first it goes smooth without any crunch. I've tried to reset the gearbox cables, greased the unit and even brought a new linkage (only one linkage as couldn't find the other one in the online shop, but it seems ok) I've seen a post on this before on this forum but have looked for last few days and cant find it, Just wondering what am I looking at to repair Many thanks in advance

,Cheers mate i had it out for a day and left beside my stove, and when i put it back in a lot of the issues were resolved except for the Red light with foot on it. but now its completely back to the most lights having an currently have battery out and on charge for the night will try removing cluster again and leave for longer period

Cheers mate appreciate it, save me a few quid in chancing it.

cheers guys, not in a position to get a sash repair done unfortunatly as i need to sell car because we have new one now. Typical that this happens as i want to sell her, just wondering if i get a second hand dash console could i just throw it in and would work away

Cheers mate appreciate your help, so the lower EGR cooler pipe ( U shape) kept breaking, so I just blanked it using an egr blanking plate and gaskets, Ok will need to look at that, I thought I may be able to change the measurements for the EGR on the vcds but I'm using the 24.7.1v so that option is no longer possible

Hey guys Any idea how to cure this code below 👇 car drives perfect, but when I try to over take on the motorway the car dies, I need to power off ignition and back on and boost comes back to overtake. Done a scan on vcds as attached, what I've tried is 1,Changed EGR valve, 2,EGR cooler delete (cooler still there just blocked the exhaust pipe with a blanket) 3,Mr muscle on turbo and freed up the actuator. 4, changed vacuum block 5, checked all vac hoses and blew them out with compressor. I'm fresh out of ideas, code keeps coming back, and after 1 or 2 days the MIL comes back on . I know of the other posts of the same code but can't seem to see anything to fix it.

Hey guys, back again (with better picture) drove it for the last few days but things seem to have got worse, The fuel light came on last night and now the oil light is on dim also, plus when I use the right indicator the cruise control symbol also flashes. I currently have the dash console removed and in beside my stove to try dry any damp that may be in there. Just wondering what else could it be? The red foot pedal one is on constantly, (dim mode) the oil light only came on with fuel light, and the cruise control only comes on with right indicator use. I used a vcds from a friend last week just wondering if it was a knock off device would it have f@@ked up my dash?

Cheers mate hoping that the driving for a few days will help it come back to normal,

Yes mate that's the light

Cheers mate I will use it for next few days to see if it helps, appreciate your help and time

Apologies, handbrake is operated by normal lever between Seats, Then above image is the not fully illuminated symbol, it's dim red light compared to the other red lights on the dash,

Apologies I thought I uploaded a picture of it on with the seatbelt light on to show the difference in illumination, No it's been parked for about 3 weeks with the handbrake on, I drove it about 30 miles spin today and the light didn't go off, Handbrake, brakes etc all working good.
