Travall is probably the best one. Not cheap, I got a used one off eBay. https://www.travall.co.uk/skoda/octavia-estate-2013-/travall-dog-guard-tdg1404

Is these a way to turn off these two tiny lights? I'm finding them distracting at night, but there's no switch and I can't find anything in the settings. Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

P0671 Cylinder 1 glow plug circuit
ausfaht replied to ausfaht's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks for the response! I don't know as it hasn't been cold lately. I have however managed to answer my own question since posting. With the help of YouTube I have done a continuity test on all 4 glow plugs, cylinder 1 glow plug is definitely faulty, the others are fine. -
I used a obd2 scanner after my engine light came on (solid amber). It came up with the code P0671 Cylinder 1 glow plug circuit. I cleared the entry but it came back almost straight away. I went to my usual VAG garage who said it's likely to be the glow plug which would cost £105 to replace, but to be sure I would have to pay £70 to have it diagnosed. I don't want to pay £70 just to find out it needs a new glow plug, however I don't want to pay £105 to replace the glow plug only to find that wasn't the issue and have to pay another £70 just to find out what the problem is. How likely is it to be the glow plug? Many thanks

Fuel filter housing screws torque

That's very helpful, thank you! -
I am about to change my diesel fuel filter. The 5 x T25 screws should be tightened to 5nm. How critical is it that a torque wrench is used? If I made a mental note of how tight they feel when removing them, and then try to get them the same when reassembling, wouldn't that likely be good enough?
