hi there Ok dumb question but how do i know which i have....? And wouldnt that mean swapping out the display and head unit .. So would it then need coding to the car.. Also what about unlock codes etc etc P

Bugger.... Thought that could be the case. (though i should say if it matters the unit as a whole is functional its just the display thats gone pop) Any other ideas that may work.....

I did flash the firmware once ages ago think my post on here may have some screen grabs on it.... Let me see if i can dig it out... Attached is an image of the head unit post FW update

Hi there In which case its the display. The operation is otherwise fully functional.

Hi All Have a 2014 H reg Octavia. Been totally sweet except for a leaky water pump which is now fixe. Got home from work everything was fine. Got in the car the next morning to find the Head-Unit display is shot. Just showing a black screen with white vertical lines... Can anything be done or do i need to be thinking about a replacement head-unit Kr P

Ha Cheers And now i know (after 3 years of owning it) perhaps there are other hidden mysteries..

I have a H reg Octavia First Skoda and i love her. But ..... perhaps a guru can help me out here. While fishing for some dropped change beside the drivers seat I noticed a little function button never seen before on the lower part of the B pillar pretty much hidden by the seatbelt which is about 1cm square, Does anyone have any clue as to its function... ATB P

Blast that would of been too easy wouldn't it ! Nope not the fuse. Must be the motor i guess ?? P

Yeah just found that. Will try a swap .. On which note Skoda have made it a real bitch of a job to drop out the glovebox... will post back in a bit...

no but front wash is fine

Hi all A while back my rear wash failed. Now the wipe has also failed. Before i take it in to check is there a fuse i can be looking at, Have already checked the rear wash nozzle isnt blocked it stays bone dry. Octavia 2014 any thoughts Kr Paul

Hi All Have a 2014 Octavia. Every couple of months I find the need to top up coolant (50% water \ 50% coolant). As best i can tell there are no leaks ie puddles on the floor. Anyone out there that knows about such things consider this is a bit too much as i do appreciate the purpose of coolant is to cool a very hot engine so some evaporation is to be expected. Thoughts ..? Kr P

The original key as shredded the Ebay supplier has given me a part that fits. The Bolt head on the drivers side is also toast so yes im investing in a set of those removal type socket heads and a breaker bar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385267084223?hash=item59b3b52bbf:g:dLwAAOSwe8xjiFL9&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8I88YgKm5UUqqN4E2JwVq%2B%2BrccjEcgU0lAJcH0mbsmkmdc3W91efVWWb1NKQVhalDdSLg2BED3G0kdMqPqLQ%2Fbcblo61Txa%2F8qoADchBnWILPR5IQn1F0Icy53pGNqRiWcvBW%2F3D7DS6Beexs0ps60CrhKcalJ1RhFv%2BhcOngy8BU5efTnd6u%2FXLapkArjflLUgdod3pfEWMKwYquLsse1P4YbJj4WzGM%2BUxTfJVgfUWJkzX1hHdKhtur5kfIFrRo3BuK9aQXNLtKOqp8dzUaWg9L%2F9x%2FNM4mlscvI8%2B6j9G3txM%2F4CA5%2F%2FOU%2F9vIxZ4zw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMhI-zvadh
