Hi there I’m looking for some advise, over the last 6 months my car has been idling at 1000rpm on most journeys not all the time but I’d say 80% of the time when this happens the fans stay on for a couple or so minutes after turning the engine off, my first thought is obviously a dpf regen so about 4 weeks ago I took it for a blast at 70mph around 2700rpm this did clear some crap out the exhaust, but didn’t stop the high idling, I do do some regular long distance runs and the normal day to day runs, I’ve owned the car for 9 years now and in that time the DOF light has only come on once, and after the normal 2700rpm blast it went out, I took it to my local garage who does all my servicing and asked him to run his diagnostics on it to check for faulty sensors and soot level in the DPF he said no sensors were showing up and the DPF was only showing 4% soot which he said was good, Does anybody know or has had the issue with any information on the matter then it would be greatly appreciated Thanks Neil

Many thanks Many thanks

Hi there I’ve just bought a 2017 Škoda fabia mk3 colour edition, Unfortunately it has no spare wheel just one of those pump repare things that I don’t like, My question is what size is the spare wheel that I need to buy? The car is fitted with 16” wheels Thanks in advance Neil

Hi there did you get this problem sorted? I’ve got a similar issue on my 14 plate Octavia vrs driving along the other day and all of a sudden the fans stop working so turned off and on again and they started again, then it’s just happened again tonight accompanied with a deep whiring kind of noise coming from somewhere near the bulkhead in the engine, when it works the ac is still ok and the fans alter there speed, im thinking it is the heater blower motor or could it be something else? any quick way of identifying this issue would be greatly appreciated thanks Neil

Hi everyone around Christmas time just gone one morning I got in my 2014 Skoda Octavia vrs turned the key only to get a message saying Stabilisation error then followed by tyre pressure sensor fault, I tried to start the car but nothing at all no cranking or noise, I turned the ignition off and on a couple of times then the Stabilisation error disappeared but the tyre pressure warning light stayed on, turned the car over and it started fine, Pulled the car off the drive and drove around 500 yards and the tyre pressure warning light went out and all was fine car drove as it should, Got a mate to call around with his scan tool from work, he plugged it in and it showed passenger side front speed sensor faulty, now to be safe I got him to change both the driver and passenger side front speed sensors, He did so and the car has been perfect since then until this morning got in the car and the Stabilisation error light came on followed by the tyre pressure sensor error, I followed the same procedure as before and the car started fine and this time the tyre pressure sensor light went out after around 50 yards, the car drove fine to work and I turned the car off on arrival and started it a few times and all was well, I went out to my car at tea break got in and the car started fine but I noticed the ambient temperature readout was still saying -0.5 degrees which is what it was saying when I got out the car on arrival to work, it was really +6 degrees outside at the time I stopped and started the car a few time to see if it would settle itself down but it didn't, So went back to work and left the car till last tea break at 2pm to see if the ambient temperature was now reading correctly and it was now it was reading +12.5 degrees again the car started fine and on leaving work it started fine and no messages, im just wondering if its a faulty ambient temperature sensor that is sending the car into stabilisation error? By the way the battery is fine and the terminals are all connected nice and tight, Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated Thanks Neil
