@skomaz thanks, I found similar on a Google search and this seems common with the VWs and Skodas. Do you know how easy it is to access the two air-conditioning sensors in the dashboard? It's probably cheaper to replace both of them, than pay for an hour of dealer investigation but I could swap them over to see if the the fault moves side first

Hi @Warrior193 I had a coolant leak that was repaired recently with the thermostatic housing being replaced. The coolant is all fine and it hasn't discoloured

Hi all, I have a skoda octavia mkIII and the climatronic control is playing up. I get hot air from the passenger dash vents, but only cold air from the drivers side. I've tried recalibrating the valves but that hasn't improved the hot/cold situation. The local skoda dealership have investigated, £100 for diagnostic scan and no fault found. They want to book 3 hours further investigation (£434 + vat) but they don't really seem to have any ideas so I'm a bit hesitant to fund this ongoing work at the moment. Has anyone else experienced this fault, and if so how was it resolved? The dealer also quoted for a new heater matrix at £278 + vat, but about £1200 labour to fit it and another £900 for a coolant flush, is this the standard cost? Thanks for any advice in advance!!!

Hi all, New here but looking for some advice - I have a 2010 Fabia Estate 1.2 TSI and want to fit a tow bar to take a bike carrier. There's lots of options for purchase but limited advice online so I am looking for recommendations for a tow bar (fixed, swan, removable) and also any fitting advice from someone who has done this already as a project. Thanks in advance!
