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 aki78 could you pm me update details. Thanks Neil

Did you get this issue sorted I’m having the same problem on my 14 VRS Diesel thanks Neil

Did you get this issue sorted what was the problem? Thanks Neil

Hi I’ve finally got around to changing the battery is there anyone on here from the midlands that has the VCDS software? or does anyone have a link I can buy it from? Thanks Neil

Hi Bret, purely just to read any codes that might ping up on my car and read any codes that may of been on it, around £50 if that’s possible cheers Neil

Hi everyone, just a quick question: Is it only VCDS diagnostics that can be used on my Octy vrs 2.0tdi or is there a cheaper option that will read any faults I need to find? thanks Neil

Hi when I change the battery will I need to get it recoded by entering the BEM Code via the VCDS or will it reset itself? cheers for your knowledge Neil

The dashcam is hardwired in so turns off when the ignition goes off, I work for Toyota Material Handling and a workmate checked my battery today it was reading 12.2v then when we left the ignition on for two or three minutes and started the car it dropped to 8v and took a while to start, I believe it is time for a new battery? any ideas on the best one to go for at a reasonable price? Thanks for all your advise I do appreciate it 👍🏻 Neil

Wow yes but I’ve had it in the car for 2 1/2 years

Thanks what could not be turning off?

Hi all just a update, I’ve not been able to get the codes read yet due to the isolation rules in force at the moment, My car has been starting and running fine all week whilst I’ve been going to and from work, and the ambient temperature is working fine, then after leaving it standing all weekend got in the car this morning and the damm stabilisation error came up again so turned off the ignition and turned again no error codes and the car turned over again and then the error came up again and stopped the car turning over this happened one more time then on the third turn the car started up fine, no other error codes came up might I add (tyre sensor) when I arrived at work 7 miles away stopped the car and then started it no problem, got in the car after work and again no problem, Now to me I’m thinking a dodgy battery, the connections are fine, is it correct if the battery is on its way out it can throw up error codes ie stabilisation/ tyre pressure? im thinking the alternator is charging ok as the car starts fine after a run and all lights and heaters are working ok, there seems to be a pattern where it’s throwing up errors on a Monday when it’s been stood all weekend and it’s not feeling it like the rest of us, any advise/ideas more than welcome Neil

Hi there did you get this issue sorted I’m having the same problem with my 2014 Octavia vrs, very frustrating

No they are not OEM there from Parkers, id of thought they would be more than suitable, my issue is more with the possible link with the ambient temperature sensor?

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

This is the link i used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/csix1uhhbrgqhhj/Octavia VRS Black Pack Grill Surround1.pdf?dl=0 And these tools: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Blue-Spot-07925-Car-Trim-Removal-11-Pieces-Set/3031195714?iid=253989091555

I used these tools: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Blue-Spot-07925-Car-Trim-Removal-11-Pieces-Set/3031195714?iid=253989091555 And all i did was give them my registration to check it fitted before i ordered

Yes replacement was done without removing the bumper, just be brave as soon as the first section breaks you just chase it around being careful not to break any of the black retaining clips, I followed this link below that someone on the forum (who's name i forget) had posted. https://www.dropbox.com/s/csix1uhhbrgqhhj/Octavia VRS Black Pack Grill Surround1.pdf?dl=0 Cheers Neil

Thats the one

So today i swapped the chrome grill surround for a Black one and it looks so much better, Took around 30 minutes to do The surround cost me £35 from eBay

Well at long last got my EML issue sorted, it wasnt the pump as first suspected but some dodgy wiring repair that was supposedly fixed under warranty at Skoda Autosales Burntwood where i got the car from, thankfully one of my mates who knows what he is doing fixed it for me at a cost of £12 for the part and £20 beer money 😉 So here is the part on the car the outer yellow wire just fell out and part of the pin had broke off in the connector, you would of thought they would of fitted i new 3 pin connector? Anyway new part was ordered and fitted in 20 minutes so all good now Cheers Neil

Thanks do you have a link?

If I remember right they said there was two or three pumps on the car?

The car went back to Skoda under warranty around a year ago as eml had come on and that time there was a short, showing low voltage in a wire connecting to the air con/heater pump this was fixed and no problem since up until last week
