I dont know the RAC guy said when he moved the box about it played up all I can do is clean all the relays and sockets really if I can feel a plug in the back give that a clean

No taking it out then :(

does anyone have a photo of 1 of these taken out or the name of the relay box?

MicMac do you know if there is a plug that that relay box plugs into that I could clean out

No I never heard of it MicMac so thought got be worth a go as WD does have a good rep, electrics is the last problem that keeps going wrong on my car I wish there was a fair priced place I could take it where they would go right through it, spent loads trying to keep my Skoda running well cuz I do love the car, just as well I only paid cheap for it even though it had full service history, cuz it left me with some to spend on bits but Jesus I never expected this much lol

I bought some WD-40 Specialist Fast Drying Contact Cleaner with Smart Straw 400ml cant do no harm and not oily like standard WD40

is WD40 a good cleaner to spray in the relay slots?

well when it broke down it said OIL when he done a scan it said glow plugs then he reset everything and all the lights have gone off now, he just said the problem lies when he moves this relay box about but its very Intermittent, I could take out all the relays and clean them and spray some contact cleaner (WD40) in the connectors prise the cover off ? is the cover not off then? yea had loads of problems with this car but mainly now all electrical a scan seems pointless as soon as the electrical thing happens something else will say its wrong, when it does drive though she drives really sweet

Hi Guys, Car broke down again and again points to electrical or relay problems, the RAC guy said it was coming from this relay box (see photo) but its intermittent and I'm really not sure what to do next. New Box or will used box help as per money is strapped being on a low income if a new box does anyone know the correct name for this box or the part number please? should I buy new relays? and best of all does this box just unplug If anyone can help I'd be really grateful. make and name of car is in my signature .

Octavia VRS sounds nice, mine is a 2007 Scout 4x4 quite nippy seeing its been remapped to 190bhp but for ever getting lecky problems with it, I bought it cheap so had a lot of moment for repairs i guess I wanted a 4x4 as I live in a place where a 4x4 and a big estate boot comes in handy

I never released just how popular this thread would be... thanks RG for validating the link is still live

Yea I do try to do most things myself I treated myself to a Hex-V2 Duel-k & Can few months ago its only a 3 Vin but I only own 1 skoda lol

were close mate I just moved from paighton (Torbay) to kingsbridge down the road...Al . https://mega.nz/#!h1dkiaQZ!yhdd--xrkMGjNMEMslkXjLo4VgNzqtHzG1jumO6PsIU

Guys there are live links in the thread if you only look but here it is again . https://mega.nz/#!h1dkiaQZ!yhdd--xrkMGjNMEMslkXjLo4VgNzqtHzG1jumO6PsIU

yea I have given it a new battery as well, trouble is with the wiring is that things keep on happening i mean all different things so it wont be just 1 loose wire, anyways I love my skoda and keeping her going no matter what

oh I thought they would all have to be changed I really like my skoda be it a bit old I spent a lot on it new cam and followers/belt,brakes all around,steering rack and a few other odds and ends, but saying that I got her 2 years ago for £1500 with a full service history so that was really cheap and gave me space for repairs, but you never know do you, I plan on keeping her for some years so will try and look after it

yea that was me MicMac but its going to have to wait now I only just put all new shocks in new brakes new steering rack and the cash flow is servery dented right now and I dont drive much even less so at the moment so going to keep my fingers crossed right now as I just dont have the cash to have it rewired, god only knows how much that would cost

thanks guys I went out this morning and it works fine again, bloody car seems to do this alot last time all the dash stopped working then started working again few hours later

Hi guys cant get my car to start well it starts but then says immobilizer active on the dash changed the key battery no joy I have a code reader can it be turned off from there? any advice please as car wont start

the link is still live guys.... https://mega.nz/#!h1dkiaQZ!yhdd--xrkMGjNMEMslkXjLo4VgNzqtHzG1jumO6PsIU

Did you ever get to the bottom of this nidgep? i have a code error 00573 steering torque sensor and have had someone check the wiring and i,m may be looking at a 2nd hand replacement rack but I dont know if mine will need coding

Hi guys getting this fault and have seen it come up a lot on the mk2 (00573 steering torque sensor) its looking more and more like I may need to change the rack what I wanted to know do you have to code them into the ECU or would a 2nd hand one fit in and work? thought I should add that I do have VCDS (Ross Tech) I just dont know how to code it

cheers guys for helping me out with this cant always get on to help and unless they read all the posts they will miss the link to download it

yes I checked the fuses and there ok as only fitted yesterday new. I dont know what (CAN-L) & H or main busbar are sorry mate not learnt all the terminology for the wiring yet Terminal 30 and 31 which plug are they to be found, I will learn as I go long hopefully thanks mate

Oh FFs now the rad fan wont turn off even with the key out and car locked, if i start it up if stops till I turn it off, had to take the fuse out to stop the battery running down
