Rang the RAC they are not interested as I don't have homestart never needed it in 50 years of driving, as for the spare key had the car over 2 and half years never needed it. As for not buying a vehicle because it only has one key? Errr I'll get back to you...............

Yea I don't have a spare key so it's looking like a window but am still investigating am not in any screaming rush

Yep that's what's happened I'd locked the car and had to get something out of the boot closed tailgate left keys in boot

Think I'm gonna have to concede on this problem it ain't gonna happen, think a window is going to have to be replaced after I hit it 🤬🤬🤬 I managed to get a flat piece of metal to the central locking switch on centre console but no good I'm assuming this is because it will be deadlocked? Hey ho

Hi thanks I'll be having another go at car in the morning luckily it's happened outside my house so car is home.

Hi yes laying on the floor of the boot (estate car)

All sorts of rude words how can I get in estate car with keys locked inside guys? Helpppppppp

No peace for the wicked. As above error code P0234 over boost detected. Led to believe it might be the N75 gizmo? Just one question where the heck is it 2006 1 9tdi Octavia 4 x 4? TIA.

Well it failed on Wednesday but fortunately nothing serious just rear brakes needed sorting retest this morning and job done. All I gotta do now is find the money for the the dam insurance can't believe how expensive that is for such an old git like me lol

Just want to say thanks again to all that helped especially langers2k am pleased to report replacement sensor fitted and all good ESP light is now behaving, so it's MOT time very shortly. Thanks

Am over the moon mate really over the moon. Just been out to the car and stripped it out. Checked the price of a new one OMG but second hand will be fine with me as long as it does it's job. Part number is 7H0 907 652 A

You sir are a legend you have made my week thank you so much for taking the time i have just been out to the car this second and you are spot on again a thousand thanks. Gareth

Sorry to be like a broken record guys but am giving this just one more try. For those who haven't seen before i have a September 2006 Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel manual 4x4 Estate with an intermittent ESP light although it's more on than off {there are absolutely NO other dash lights at all and no other known faults} been like it for a long time and does not appear to affect the driving, but of course it's an MOT failure MOT due 21st this month and i CANNOT for the life of me locate this dam sensor it's ridiculous. Have been told it's under the driver seat under the passenger seat under the dash i currently have the front seats out and it ain't there, had a mate round few weeks back far more clued up on cars than me ok that wouldn't be that difficult i admit but we stripped out a large part of the dash basically we cannot find it. I put it into a local ermm audi skoda specialist almost a year ago £300 and the light is still on. I am based Ilford Essex any mobile mechanics who CAN FIX THIS? Providing it's before the 21st i am happy to travel to you but please no more time wasters. Drove to an expert in Devon last year 400 mile round trip waste of time NOT HAPPY. Please be assured paying is no problem FOR RESULTS. If your a garage who does MOTs also mine is due the 21st. Hoping someone has the knowledge i need i really need to get this sorted now. Thanks Gareth.

Just to confirm this car is a 2006 Skoda Octavia 4 x 4 1 9 tdi estate

Ok well both driver and passenger seats are out and no sign of any sensor let alone this G419 sensor, could be a cheap car for sale shortly.

Thanks yes your right my bad hate doing this stuff on mobile phone dam screen way to small. Gareth

Thanks but tells me nothing about the actual location of the sensor on my car.

Hi everyone well unbelievably I am still not able to rectify the ESP light being on intermittently but more on than off. Have posted up about this a while back put it into a local ahem specialist he managed to get an MOT (I didn't ask) but he gave it back to me with light still on for over £300 which was almost 12 months ago but in the present climate car not really being used but of course needless to say it's MOT time again and the light is still on. I have the fault code G419 Esp sensor my problem being where the heck is the dam sensor located? Somebody must surely know? Please help. Happy to reimburse any reasonable expense.Thanks Gareth.

Hello everyone new guy here a mostly quite pleased Octavia owner for the last year don't get to use it much living in London with hideous traffic but have been Scotland twice in it and pleasantly surprised. But now of course the mot is all but up and the ESP light is intermittenly on more on than off and the switch seems to do nothing. Can someone please tell me where the ESP sensor can be found because I am having a nightmare trying to find someone who knows what they are talking about. 400 odd mile round trip to find someone who didn't know, getting a bit fed up now. Please if anyone can help I'd be grateful thanks. Gareth
