Still getting this misfire when cold. Could it be something else apart from valves. Gloe plug etc ?

Does the plug separate at the headlight switch to be able to insert the wire into pin 10?

Yes apologies. Didn't look closely enough at the photos. Thought all plugs on the back of the relays were black. My bad. Was going by the left hand relay. Yes I understand the pin has to be wired into the plug. I am ordering the cable through Amazon but they do also do it In 1m sizes on Ebay

So just about to order the switch and repair wire on Amazon. It says the left most relay which is black but in the pic it looks beige or yellow ? I assume the sensor for auto lighting is already in the car?

This was previous to me buying it. I've had the car only 2 months and paid above average due to the so say comprehensive service records with it. Now another 390 quid out of pocket but worth it

My 2010 octavia 2 fl had it done at 85k then now the water pump or Idlers were making noises at 120k. 3 garages said it was cambelt related so had it done. Noise went straight away. 2 of the garages said my car might have had the belt only changed and not the Idlers or water pump. Lesson learnt

So eventually got the mess of wiring out the back of the light switch. Professionally wired. Really. Cigarette lighter cable from dashcam to cigarette lighter socket which was then hardwired to the fuse box and cable tied and taped everywhere. Found out there was 9 wires in loom not 10 so switch and wire needed to complete it

Ive just taken the switch out but can't count exactly how many wires are in the plug. The previous owner had a dashcam system hardwired into the car and all the cables are attached to the loom and I cannot get it forward enough to access them. God knows how they did it. It looks like either somehow they removed the fuse box or air vent to get the cables zip tied up.

Thanks

Thank you. You have been extremely helpful. Mine is a late 2010 elegance also so will probably have to add the wire. Will check tomorrow. many thanks

Ok thanks I will check to see what's there in the morning. Do you have a guide to be able to wire the extra wire in if I dont have 10

I have a fl octavia and want to out the auto lights on it. I heard the car must have rain sensors which it does so do I just get a switch ? Would I need to activate anything in vcds? There are posts which say it works and some say not so all help would. E good before I get one

Not sure. I bought the car 2 months ago so not sure. Just I saw the receipt in the service folder for a timing belt replacement

I have just taken the auxiliary belt off and the noise is still there. Ahhh. I'm wondering if the pulleys or water pump may not have been replaced when the cambelt was done 20k ago. Any ideas

I bought the car 6 weeks ago. Did not notice it when I bought it but did 2 days later. I supposedly have a Skoda customer services Manager phoning me in the next 48 hours to discuss. Hopefully they will agree to rectify it. There was nothing highlighted on the service records done by Skoda main dealers
