update - the EPC fault seems to have gone away after a long drive. Potentially battery, or moisture on a sensor? it had been very wet the run up to the problem occuring.

Xman - thanks again. Will do. The warranty is 3rd party... Was a used sale. I will check through what it covers but i think it is full mechanical and electrical "Don't think rattle in roof is related, might be the exhaust shaking and hitting the bodywork " It sounds very much like the impact it is coming from the top rear corner and along the passenger side. Perhaps this should be a different thread once i've sorted the EPC! MickA - thanks, i'll look through your thread and i'll get the battery checked, this did cross my mind.

Skoffski and Xman, thank you very much for your responses. I am going to take it into the garage again this week and will let you know if i can get the code from them, though the code reader is very reasonable and probably worth having one. If it is a turbo actuator fault does that mean new turbo..? It is under warranty so hopefully that would be covered. MickA - could an dying battery be a cause for a fault? Is the rattle (possibly cable or something) in the roof likely unconnected? Cheers, Josh

Thank you for your speedy response. The garage is local garage with diagnostics reader, not a skoda dealership. The car is 2014. Fully serviced with skoda last 3 years. spark plugs changed at 33000 Cheers, Josh

Hi all. I've got a Skoda Rapid 1.2 TSI (86bhp) 38k. Only had it 2k after my last one got written off by uninsured **** when it was parked... So far running great, good mph etc. Coming back from supermarket I had no power at all and EPC light came on, limp home mode had triggered. I pulled over, turned on and off and the EPC disappeared and it runs like normal. It's still under a warranty so took it straight to my garage who plugged it in and said it threw up a code but it didn't really tell them anything (is it likely a code would tell them nothing?). He reset and said to bring it back if it continues. Few days later, EPC returns, but again disappears on restart. This time however there is rattle in the roof, passenger side from towards the rear, sounds like something it loose somewhere tapping on the underside of the roof top. It could be unrelated but seems odd that this is happening at the same time. With EPC light back on I got my wife to press brake and all check brake lights, which are working fine. Now the EPC isn't coming on. It has been sat a for a week and it's been very wet, but would hope that's not a problem, my 2001 fabia doesn't mind! Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Josh

Just bought another one today! Basically the same car but silver and better spec.

just to confirm - the wiper part arrived today. Company seem legit and helpful. There was an error on their website that meant i ordered it twice, but they cancelled and refunded my card straight away. Unfortunately i cannot tell you if the part works as a ****ed, uninsured tosspot smashed into my parked Rapid last weekend, then ran away, total write off. Am hoping to replace like for like so will keep the part if needed in the future. Josh

paypal so should be protected.....

If this is useful - i have ordered this very reasonably priced second hand pump part. I hope this resolves my issues. Seems a bit too cheap so i will let you know how i get on. https://www.partan.eu/en/catalogue/skoda-5e5955711-rapid-nh3-2013-wiper-motor-rear_9917/

try Clive at winchster skoda. he told me £75 inc VAT +delivery for new washer motor: [email protected]

The washer hose is connected to the motor/jet by a small plastic coupling. Part number 3b0955875a

this is a rapid and the panel is just a small bit that comes off easy, dont have to remove the entire boot cover.

This is how it attaches to the washer motor, it just pulls off. Cheers, josh

Does anyone know a part number/name for this bit that attaches the rear wiper motor and the washer hose? It rotates with the motor action. Mine is leaking and the garage claims i need a whole new motor...

Further to my post - I got the part and a new nozzle but still getting a leak from the back. Its driving me mad now. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a slight block between the inlet of the washer hose and the outlet at the nozzle... Most recent picture. this is using the couplr part sent by skoda, then a bit of tube to connect up the washer pipe. I still can't believe this is the best way to do this?!? How are they out of the factory (can anyone post a picture of theirs?) Cheers, Josh
