Hiya guys well I ran out of ideals to try so I managed to find a good engine management center not to far away but not till the 17th aug, I'm still trying to source the rubber seal that goes in the outer part of the ECU does anyone where I can buy 1 please as my old mechanic says he has it but am having problems getting him to bring it back and I dont know where he lives. All this worry is playing havoc with my fibromyalgia hate it when my cars off the road, being disabled and living in a small village I relay on it a lot what it must be like to be rich and just bung it in a main agents garage A guys lol

it wont start mate 😞

RAC guy did use a laptop,dont know what it was though. I might need to try and find a ECU rubber seal not sure of the correct name for it but when the mechanic opened the ECU to look at it he never put it back he did say he still got it but not sure I believe him, anyone know where I can buy one?

just an update: checked ECU pin 49 continuity, of the 40-way connector to the replay (370) in the e-box and its ok

where is the instrument binnacle J.R

I had a mobile mechanic and the RAC guy scanned it J.R, mobile mechanic dont know what it is ECU been checked and so has the engine fuse box

Wont do some work in south devon would he am struggling to find a good one kingsbridge area oh he's 85 miles away 😞

Here's some photos just been out there as the ass left the engine bay open to the rain and all the pins and fuse box had water in them had an hair drying on them all for ages . .

Hi guys well my mobile mechanic has given up on my car and it still wont start so i,m stuck in a small village with no transport 😞 I had the ECU checked and it still wont start but when I just rang them they did say though it had been tested it could be an intermittent problem that never showed up when they tested it and they could make me one up for £200 and copy my software over as mine is chipped to 190bhp (so last owner said) if you buy one on say ebay does it need to be programmed to your car or are they plug & play? just ebay is a lot cheaper I have no ideal if he checked the wires or fuses that you said about Wino I just text him to ask, I do have a muti meter myself is it something I could check are the pins numbered? and where would the other end of the ECU pin 49, and pin 6 of the 40-way connector to the e-box be I take it you mean engine fuse box. Thanks for all your help guys am really stuck right now so hope you can guide me through this.. Al

I wish I knew more about them J.R, The fooker doing the job has buggered off till sunday now and left me to worry about it all as it cost me £40 just to tell me there is nothing wrong with it so I still dont know what the problem is, I good with spanners but the lecky bits i,m lost really unless it stands out like it looks rusty. I only get my disability payments and so I do try to do stuff myself, i'd be lost without the help you guys give me Thank god I have a motorbike to ride as I live in a small village

Oh 1 more question if I could Please, will the phone answer if the unit is playing my local radio and not tuned into the device setting on the stereo or does it have to be on the bluetooth setting if you know what I mean?

That would be great if you could please and if we need to buy any extra wiring to control the volume on the steering wheel, I have heard they drain the battery thats another thing that worries me

Old thread I know but does the Mic pick up your voice very well in phone calls what with the cigar lighter being by the hand brake?

well I rang the place fixing the ECU and they say there is nothing wrong with the ECU, maybe it is the connector that plugs into the ECU then, bought some Electrical Contact Cleaner Cleaning Spray is it safe to spray that inside the conector?

ok Wino will pass this on to my guy whos doing the work as I dont have a clue about this part of the car

Hi Guys my car broke down and I replaced the ECU relay and all was well but then it broke down again and the RAC come out and said there's nothing wrong with the relay or the fuse box, it was either the ECU or the wiring coming from the ECU. I took the ECU out and had that checked and getting it back today hopefully but they say its working fine and nothing wrong with it. do you think it could be the connector to the ECU? maybe just a case of spraying in some connection cleaner? has anyone else had this problem? this is starting to do my head in now i'm disabled and stuck in a small village and got no transport to go help my mother any ideas please?

thats what am doing bought some standard ones

Hi guys well I went and bought a kit and had them fitted but never knew they were more sporty than the original ones and now the ride is a bit lower and though it does handle well bumps seem quite hard. not sure what to do now keep them on or redo them as am not to keen on it being lower. Coilovers kit TA-Technix - Skoda Octavia Scout 1Z - Ø55 Adjustable suspensions EVOGWVW14/55-10 TA-Technix coilovers Skoda Octavia Scout 1Z – Ø55 Coilovers kit for Skoda Octavia TA-Technix Coilover kit for Skoda Octavia are manufactured using the latest techniques with the highest quality materials and combined with aggressive pricing strategy, taking the performance accessories market by storm. Skoda Octavia Scout type 1Z year 04- 13 front load: 1190 kg rear load: 1220 kg This product is for vehicle with 55mm suspension strut FEATURES: Collars and upper mounts made from 6061 aluminum with T6 for increased hardness Our spring perches, locking collars, top mounts and some lower mounts are made from high quality 6061 aluminum. Benefits include excellent strength and aluminum helps reduce weight. Monotube high pressure design reduces oil leakage All of our coilovers use Monotube shocks which dissipate heat better, allows finer damping adjustment and requires a more expensive design process compared to twin tube shocks. Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment Some vehicles have a separate rear shock and spring. In the coilover industry we call this a “hi-low kit”. In this case you will have height adjustment via the spring perch and the lower mount of the shock. Vehicles with this type of set up can still go as low or lower than true coilovers. Dust boot to protect damper seal Dust boots are standard on all coilovers. We also integrate the bump stop inside the dust boot. This is more efficient and is less likely to crumble to pieces and deteriorate like other company’s designs.
