  1. Silly question but how would I know this? Should the radiator fan only come on when the car is driving or in idle? Only when the radiator is hot? Thanks
  2. hi again i can't unlock the mk1 roomster using the key fob remote. i can open the drivers side door with the key, but then i need to immediately put the key in ignition, otherwise the alarm goes off. i then need to press the unlock door button inside. i've tried changing the batteries, but its still not working. any thoughts? thanks in advance
  3. Hi Will take the car to garage, but wondered if anyone had any thoughts before, so I know what to discuss with them. When sat in a traffic queue, if you end up being there for 5-10 mins (slowly creeping forwards), the coolant overheating light comes on. The coolant level is ok, although it had been topped up with just water when the level was going down a bit so its not pure coolant. Aside from draining and replacing the coolant, what else should I look into? Fans? Sensors? Thanks Chris
  4. Can you easily replace the aerial with a shorter one? Will it effect the signal quality much? Do they just unscrew and screw a new one on, or more work involved? To allow for a longer roofbox (see pic attached). thanks
  5. The rear passenger door has been a pain lately, sometimes it won't open from the outside but will from the inside. Now when you lock with central locking, this door won't lock. Saw on here some posts about door loom wiring, garage have said could be the catch as is common on these. Unfortunatey taken to garage and the issue isn't showing up, door is locking/unlocking fine. Intermittent issue. Any thoughts? Thanks
  6. So I bought the workshop manuals from erWin for this car, to replace the fresh air blower it says step 1 remove the dash panel. Body work guide says you need to remove the steering wheel and the whole dash, removing radio, unconnecting loads of electrics too. This seems nuts! How can I tell if the blower needs replacing or if there is something just stuck in there without removing the lot? Thanks
  7. Still looking around and can't find much info. Surely you shouldn't have to take the whole dash off to change the fan?
  8. Hi all My right hand drive 2008 Skoda Roomster internal fan is making a noise. That noise gets louder when you set the AC to recirculate. I made this little video (noise starts at 7 seconds in) My local garage (normal garage not Skoda garage) first cleaned out some debris by hands up from underneath into the fan. This didn't solve it. Turning with his hands suggested that the bearings in the fan had gone / going which is why its making that grinding sound. They've bought a replacement fan and thought it would be a quick 30 min job. Upon exploring further and trying to get the bodywork off the dash, its proving to be a lot more complicated and could take a few hours. Obviously that makes it an expensive repair, so I'm trying to find some guidance online that would help speed up the process. I found this Fabia video but left hand drive, and its very shaky footage. It shows the person taking the whole dash off, steering wheel, buttons etc Seems massively overkill? Has anyone done this and could make any recommendations? Thanks
  9. Took car into local garage also armed with details of the Sencom kit. Turns out a single wire was broken in the door loom as you suggested. As it was just 1 wire, they soldered a new bit in, rather than ordering the kit. Now the door locks fine. Thanks for your help
  10. One other thing, when the cable is connected to the lock, when you press the boot button, you can hear the relay work and it try to unlock the lock, BUT also the rear window wiper moves slightly AND the inside boot lights flash. Also now when you turn the ignition on, if the cables to the lock aren't connected, you can hear this clicking noise in the boot, maybe the window wiper?
  11. Thanks for your helpful reply. Went out to look some more These are the cables coming from the lock Goes along the door and up to join another wrap of wires and I guess the rear washer pipe? Looking up at the cables leading to the rear washer/number plate... The cables coming out of the car and joining the boot door at the top left joint So you are saying the wires inside this connector between the door and body could be broken? Replacing it with this http://www.sencom-kabeltechnik.de/shop#!/SenCom-Kabelbaum-Reparatursatz-Skoda-Roomster-5J-Heckklappe/p/41040071/category=10608070 I guess I can't tell without cutting it open, will take it to get looked at. Trying to get as much info as possible before speaking with a skoda garage / local garage. Do you think skoda garage might be better as they can get parts for this model easier / more knowledge with error codes etc? Thanks!
  12. The tailgate/boot lock on my Roomster 2 (2008) is no longer closing around the pin/bar when you close the boot. I've attached a video (click lock.mov) to this post (pressing a key into the lock instead as you can't see inside when closing). 1 out of 12 times I can wiggle the left part of the lock shown in the video and it will catch on the lock bar. When the door did manage to lock one time, the door sensor alarm was going off when driving. The door was definitely locked and you couldn't open it by pulling on the door (not the handle in the boot). When you pull the cables out, the door sensor warning stops altering you, but the back window wiper stops working. (and of course you can't lock/unlock the door without the cables in anyway). I've also attached a photo showing the other side of the lock where the cables go. Anyone have any ideas? Wondering if I could just find a new lock online and replace it myself, or if it could be something else more complicated (electrics?) that needs a garage to look at it. Any ideas most welcome, Many thanks Chris lock.mov
