Hooray! Fault found. It’s a corroded connection in a plug 🤦‍♂️ So now it’s getting fixed!

Next I think I’m breaking it for parts… 140,000 miles not worth more than £4k…

This is the current state of play… “So far I have, Read the fault memory which is showing no faults Checked the low pressure fuel supply Checked the fuel for any signs of mis fuelling Read live data from crank and cam sensors Scoped the signals from both cam sensors Removed the coil packs and spark plugs. Compression check of all 4 cylinders Found no spark, so tested lives and earths to coil packs, this also included checking fuse's and relays to engine control unit. Fuse boards located behind glove box, so that needed removing Next steps would be to access engine control unit which is security bolted in, so isn't a quick job, then test wiring and signals to the coil packs, test of high pressure fuel system, scope crankshaft sensor (not easy to get to). Then we are potentially into a situation where parts nee to be replaced in an elimination process.”

Morning all. Issues with - Octavia VRS TSI 2013 63 estate. I was pulling out of a junction, got up to 20mph, changing 1st to 2nd. Passing through neutral the engine cut out. No bang/clunk/clatter/odd noises. Stopped the car and tried to restart the engine. The engine turns over and just doesn’t fire. The AA came and couldn’t find an issue. There’s fuel pressure, not the timing (is it a chain or belt…? I’m not sure 🤔) So I needed recovery to a garage. The only location within the recovery miles allowed (free bank recovery) was a Seat/Cupra dealer. They do work on Skoda so agreed to look. They’ve replaced the battery as this was dead when they got to look at the car, there’s compression across the 4 cylinders, they’re thinking it could be an ECU issue. Has anyone had anything similar? Cheers Mark

Mine is pre vrs button, so mode only. Using the sport mode gave the horrid fake noise. In individual mode I selected all to be sport and engine as normal. I’ve had the sound actuator turned completely off now and I get the “sportier” response of the accelerator and none of the faked noise.

Hey, sorry I should have updated. I found someone in Hawkinge not far from me and it was sorted. Thanks for the reply though.

Brilliant thank you!

Morning all, this is a quick question... does anyone have a VCDS and able to turn the sound actuator down to 0%? It’s horrid to hear. I’m based Ashford Kent, once allowed to travel I’d pay for your service/time. TIA Mark BTW 63 plate octavia vrs
