Hi Toot- Sorry for the delayed reply. The car was purchased from a trader and not from RAC; there was no 92 point or any inspection performed. Since it was advertised as Excellent Condition in auto trader with full service history and a 6 month warranty, i assumed that there won't be issues. Having gone through the warranty T*C's (a company called "WarrantyAssist") the condition is very clear that any existing issue won't be covered under the warranty. Please see below the full list of Warning codes when checked via Snap-on On-Board Diagnostic tool (thanks to my local mechanic) 1. 01-Engine Management- Codes: 1 P036600 |Camshaft Position Sensor “B” Circuit, Bank1 Range/Performance 2. 03-Brake Electronics- Codes: 1 C102D00 |Tyre Pressure Monitoring Display, EEPROM Malfunction 3. 08-Airco- Codes: 3 U112100 | Data Bus Missing Message B10AE31 | High Pressure Sensor, No Signal B10F000 | Function Limitation due to compressor Switch-Off by Engine 4. 09-Central Electronics – Codes: 6 B12DB29 | Lock Unit for Central Locking, Rear Left, Implausible Signal B12DC01 | Lock Unit for Central Locking, Rear Right, Electrical Error B147918 | Remote key 1, Voltage Too Low B147954 | Remote key 1, No Basic Setting B147A18 | Remote key 2, Voltage Too Low U112100 | Data-Bus Missing Message 5. 19-Diagnostic Data Interface-Gateway- Codes: 1 U020000 | Lost Communication with Passenger Side Door Control Module 6. 42- Door Electronics Driver – Codes: 2 U111100 | Function Limitation Due to Missing Message U10BA00 | Local Data Bus No Communication 7. 52- Door Electronics Passenger- Codes: 2 U10BA00 | Local Data Bus No Communication B1320F4 | Rear Window Regulator, Passenger Side, Upper Supply Voltage Limit Exceeded 8. 5F- Information Control Unit- Codes: 2 B105F13 | Left Front Bass Speaker, Open Circuit B106513 | Left Front Bass Speaker, Open Circuit

Thank you Vahids for the kind suggestions and re-assurance on the lights. It helps a lot. I am intending to go through warranty manual and reach out to the warranty company to check if this can be rectified as part of warranty cover. Apart from this error code, there are numerous warnings i saw when the local mechanic ran the diagnostic checks. Example include rear left door auto lock issue is the one that i remember among many. Is it normal to see these and wise to act when the actual issue happens rather than spending money proactively as the local mechanics that i am dealing with just goes by the error codes and order parts. They do not seem to suggest anything from their experience .. (i have a bad experience with my previous Fabia repairs and finally sold it for scrap) Once again thanks for your time and inputs. Thanks

Thanks Toot. The car has 61k miles on it and the service history is couple of years back Cambelt has been changed and six months ago, oil with filter changed. Thanks

Hi All First of all - wishing you all a Happy New Year!!! I just bought a used Octavia 2015 manual- 1.4 TSI Elegance- Petrol from a auto trader advertisement for a hefty sum - took a test drive and did not notice/ failed to notice issues so bought it as the trader said 6 months warranty. After couple of days straightaway noticed EPC and check Engine light always on when ignition is turned on and goes away when engine started. Took to a local garage and engine diagnostics showed P036600 error- Camshaft Position sensor "B" Circuit, Bank 1 Range/Performance. However the drive, acceleration is normal smooth and tested on A road for a 140 mile round trip. I am extremely nervous and losing sleep over this issue. Please can i be advised if this is a serious issue- how much money would cost and will it be resolved or worst case scenario i am thinking to request the trader to cancel the purchase as its just 5 days now. Before reaching out to the trader i want to gather as much information as possible so i am equipped well with all the information to tackle them. I am yet to go through the warranty terms and conditions- my mistake though. Apologies for the lengthy summary and would be grateful for the inputs.
