Is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254713072367 a good scanner for all Skoda vehicles with OBD2 ports?

Is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254713072367 something that would work and would it work for all Skoda cars?

I will talk to the guy I'm my street, he may have one for a Skoda.

Ok so after plugging in the basic OBD2 port reader it tells me there is no codes when clearly its showing the airbag light!

I dont need it to, but I can see if there is anything that I can fix myself with such a device. Then reset the code and see if the problem goes away.

Is it worth buying one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/6030701774?iid=124278310722&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=124278310722&targetid=938641681662&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046005&poi=&campaignid=10195651178&mkgroupid=107296207892&rlsatarget=pla-938641681662&abcId=1145987&merchantid=118970674&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImI3OwNrm6wIVS7TtCh2TbgkeEAQYAyABEgJcV_D_BwE

Yes it was thanks.

Ah so its just a fault code which needs clearing? There is someone in my street that might be able to help with that. I will ask him first if thats the case.

Today I had to remove the front passenger seat from my Skoda Octavia so I could get a fridge freezer in. Only issue is that I had to unplug the airbag that was in that seat so the car is now complaining. Does anyone know the way to reset the airbag system to rectify this fault? I need to get it sorted soon as the MOT is due in about 2 months. I dont plan on taking it to a specialist if I dont have to as that would be quite a lot of money just to reset the airbag system.

For a 13 pin trailer socket I would be fitting a 30 amp fuse as thats the norm, is the other fuse a higher capacity? To be able to fit everything in the back would be very convenient.

Is that an unfused supply? I would be putting in my own fuse. Thanks for the tip about removing the fuse if not towing or leaving the car unused.

I'm looking for a suitable 12v power supply point in my Skoda Octavia mk2 that I can use for the towing electronics. Please can someone help me find where I can attach it?

Hi I am wanting to fit a tow bar to my Skoda Octavia 2012 reg. I have previously fitted a towbar to a small car using a basic 7 pin system, but I would like to fit a 13 pin system to My Octavia. I have all the wiring for it, but I dont know where I would fit the 12V power cabling to.

I understand the idea of the odd gears being on one shaft and the evens on the other with each using its own clutch, but that page I linked to specifically says the lower 4 gears are on one final ratio while the top 3 gears are on another. It also says reverse is on yet another final ratio? You are likely right in that there is only one final gear on the axle, how could there be 3? Unless where its front wheel drive they get slid into place by the car automatically? Or could the gears be laid out so 1-4 are on one shaft and 5-7 on the other? There are only 2 clutches though so that wouldnt make sense especially once you add in reverse.

According to this site: https://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/octavia-mk2/power_transmission/gearbox_0am-dsg/technical_data/technical_data_for_the_gearbox/identification_characters_aggregate_assignment_ratios_(octavia_ii)/?fbclid=IwAR2y7M15Sx-Hgifjomnum7wkTwtAVlGqWxbqIPngI2gO1IP89sCQKqaBA60 The 7 speed DSG gearbox has 3 different final drive ratios, one for gears 1-4, one for gears 5-7 and one for reverse? I have been trying to think why this would be the case? My only reasoning is that with a single final drive ratio that there wouldnt be enough space for some of the larger gear cogs?
