Random question but can anyone ID this fairly distinctive looking nut found sitting on the chassis / undertray near the timing belt? Its pretty heavy duty and looks like it should have be attached to something to receive a bolt. The car is a 67 plate Octavia Scout. thanks Nick

It was a few months back but as far as I remember it started and ran fine until the errors started. I was about 30 miles into a motorway journey when it happened. What turned out to be the issue with yours? Cheers

Hi all, My octavia had a meltdown a few months back (loads of warning lights, no speedo, no power steering), took it to an auto electric garage who told me that ABS ECU wasn't communicating so this was likely at fault. Looking through the forum I gather this is a known issue. Sent my ABS unit off to ECU Testing who have now told me that they can't find a fault, but that an intermittent fault is common with these units and they could rebuild it for £258 (including shipping). Having just spent £3k fixing my 13 plate scout I bought as a replacement (clutch went and damaged the transmission housing in the process, another known fault seemingly...) i'm not really in a position to take a punt on this on the off chance it might work so was hoping to get some advice from the knowledgeable folks on this forum. Just need to get it running so I can sell it. Is this 'intermittent fault' a real thing or will I just be wasting money getting it fixed? Thanks in advance Nick
