Guys I'm looking for a way of doing this to my 2010 Vrs 2.0diesel.. I have the oven cleaner on stand by just need to know where to apply it Many thanks

UPDATE So after giving this car to a so called mechanic last September I have finally got the car back but he can't get it running for some reason? I suspect he has knocked the timing out after fitting another Cam wheel (cog) which was the cause of the problem in the first place So new cambelt fitted an new cam cog Is anyone local who can set this up properly for me at all? I'm in Birmingham B27.. Car is now stuck on drive cranks over but won't start I have all the tools but have never changed a cambelt or have the locking tool for bottom cog I would like to keep the car it's not the prettiest tbh but it still has plenty of life in yet Also I need a fan belt tensioner we got the car recovered back minus the tensioner... Car is 2007 Octavia VRS tdi

I've been although the menu and it appears it's the same as photo so will select Vrs jist with the Button am look at the box between dials speedometer and rev counter

I had it a 2015 estate 1.6tdi.. Now ive fitted it to a 2015 Vrs 2.0 tdi So presumably Canbus is same as same year?

Mine is the ebilaen unit not sure which model but can check...I

Good afternoon everyone hope your all having a lovely weekend 😁 Out of interest has anyone fitted this stereo to their octy Vrs and if so how do you get it to display The Vrs mode selection on the screen like the factory stereo? I have a changed my 1.6tdi octavia (which I had my andriod unit fitted too) and got into a Vrs diesel and today fitted stereo all ok heater display..door open display etc...steering wheel etc...but Vrs selection when pressing button by gear selector nope Any ideas please

So after a few months now and several visits to dealer My car is now sorted it seems so I thought I would share with you all what they changed and how it's now given me back hot air heating equally on both driver and passenger side. Heater matrix flushed twice with new coolant (better but still luke warm on drivers side) New expansion tank (silicone bag split in old one causing heater matrix blockage) New wager pump as apparently switch was faulty? Had car back and after 1 week drivers side heater went cold 🙄 (really noticeable on cold mornings) Went back and now had a new EGR cooler valve and hooray this seems to have cured the problem 👏🏻 after doing 400miles this weekend the heaters both passenger and drivers side are blowing equal amounts of hot air So hopefully this lasts an now all seems ok What a absolute nightmare trying to get this sorted but tbf the dealer have been great an replaced it all under warranty and given me a courtesy car each time my car wenr back in for repair / diagnosis Only one thing ive noticed my coolant has now gone brown and not the nice orange colour it should be after 3 flushes and having the EGR cooler valave fitted (it was before having the EGR cooler fitted though )

Ive had mine in and out a few times but it does fit after pulling cables through and re-routing..their isn't much length on the main harness from behind glove box at all and first time was a right pain to plug it all in at rear but you can do it 👌🏻

I honestly couldn't tell you...im letting the garage sort it out..it will have to go back to them... I could do with VCDS to see if the motor flaps are all working correctly.. if anyone knows where to get it from these days..mine is about 15yrs old an doesn't work Not sure if the garage would plug it into anything like VCDS to do a in depth real time scan

Just a quick update The car has been back to dealer And Had new matrix Coolant flush Coolant motor (whatever that is) New header tank Got the car back... And guess what The heater is absolutely terrible now (blows cold)I would say even worse.. No warm air at all out of the air vents even after doing over a hour or so journey with heaters on full an full heat...even the same turned down to half and under Very annoying Not losing coolant. No warning lights on dash Car is driving perfect just no heating

Ok Apple play working now 😛 just DAB an the consumer information I can’t find anywhere mpg info etc etc…

Good morning and happy Christmas to you all.. so after deciding to upgrade my stereo I got one from our friends at Ali express and just fitted it nice bit of kit although I can’t seem to get Apple play working through the link app or DAB to connect.. any ideas? all wired in ok pretty straight forward although the main look doesn’t give you much room to play with coming over from glove box side … and stupidly I disconnected the switch for passenger Airbag… and Yep I have the airbag light on dash now 🤨 my scanner won’t get into it screen quality is fantastic

Im unable to access any software atm..so if I get car warm again upto 90degrees..then empty and Refill perhaps?

No it was working fine...so bloody annoying

Thanks..I've just read this

I tried again yesterday emptied coolant and refilled..car is sitting at 90 on the temperature gauge and won't move past that Mark no matter what..the fan won't kick in either..in the old days (😂)we used to rev the engine to get it up to desired temperature and when the fan kicks in then..its job done.. My octavia has a limiter at 2500rpm😏 So it Won't get anywhere near the temp for fan to kick in even after I left it running for 2 hours.. One of the things I have noticed on draining the coolant their is no where near the manufacturers figure of 8litres draining out..an no where near going back in i woukd say ive out 3 litres back in resivoir and then doesn't drop in coolant tank.. So is their a air lock..hasn't the system fully drained after undoing bottom radiator hose...? I'm left scratching my head now Heaters were both fine before Passenger and drivers side 🙄

Hi all I decided to change my antifreeze yesterday..now the problem being my heater is only blowing cool air after messing about for hours yesterday it's still the same🙃 Has the 2015 1.6tdi have a bleed valve anywhere? I've looked on rear matrix pipes off the bulkhead but can't see one I'm presuming it has a air lock as was fine before

Hi Fubar I saw your post about stereo upgrade im looking at doing the same to my 2015 octy .. is it a big job? And what did you take out of the glove box looking at your pictures.. all those wires look a bit scary.. I want to do this desperately as my stock stereo doesn’t even have Nav .. I had the VRs previously with the full screen Columbus awesome bit of kit.. Apple play etc.. But downgraded to a 1.6tdi now 😳 how do I remove my stock stereo and can you send me your link for exact stereo if you don’t mind.. loads of variants on Ali express memory Ram etc etc many thanks and hope to talk to you soon 👍🏻

Hi.. yes definitely will go android as you said what model do you suggest is that one below from Ali express any good? seems a bargain for the money my budget is up to £200 so looking for model suggestions

Hi can anyone suggest a cheap full screen stereo upgrade for my Octavia 2015.. I'm looking for sat Nav and apple play. Atm I have the standard 6inch screen stereo and don’t even have sat Navigation or the areial on the roof lots on eBay but not sure which one to go for haven’t really got poineer or kenwood money unfortunately 😩

Yes

What makes you suggest that?

I have only just bought car a few weeks ago guys Its always been a pig to start so at first i thought ahh. Must be glow plugs.. But defo not them.. the cae cranks ok but won't start easily( it will eventually) but until i can get it looked at I won't bother now.. This is the plate on the back of This wheel that has come loose.. See pic.. This is rear of the cog

Hi all Firstly im new to to this forum so i look forward to chatting to you all So i have a 2007 vrs Octavia Diesel and what's happend it was a pig to start so called AA out fault on the scan was cam sensor and crank sensor... So after they went i whipped the cambelt cover off an the cambelt is quite loose.. Also on the right tooth wheel (cam wheel) the silver plate that's fixed to the cog itself has come loose.. What can I do now? Obviously car is parked up now.. I will try an attach a picture to this post so show the prob and the part ive found on net
