Some of you points are correct, some maybe correct and some irrelevant. Regarding the last point on functional safety, I don't give a monkeys. If I repair it and put it back in and it works, who cares?

If that's true, its a much more complex issue

If this indeed the failure mode its common with microswitches. I'm an engineer who works with sensors that use microswitches. One fix that will stop the problem for a while is to put a much higher voltage through and operate the switch. This burns the contaminated off the contacts. It is sometimes permanent but normally returns. If you can get the switch off it can be replaced or you can put it in an ultrasonic bath with IP Alcohol.

Does anybody have a reference to the official Skoda service notification about this issue? Had another occurrence this morning and I want to go in to the dealer with information.

What year is your car?

Thank you very much!

It's a 6.5 inch screen. What is FL, PFL? Device part number is 5Q0035874B

Thanks for the quick response! I'm going to go and try and work it out. It's got Sat nav but not sure what size screen.

Is there an easy way to do this? It not obvious to me.

Hello, just bought a used skoda octavia 1.4 estate. Still in warranty until December. This message flashed up today for about 1/2 a second. What should I do. Can I take my car to any dealer for this to be checked. Nearest dealers are Reading, Newbury, Winchester
