If you could take some time to read this (slightly lengthy) description and offer any advice I'd really appreciate it. I recently purchased a Scout 2007. Two issues were ABS and now Power Steering. I traced the ABS fault to dodge wiring harness and have now purchased new one(not fitted yet). The Power Steering issue, I think, is because of battery drain/low voltage resetting the system and the Power Steering hasn't reset/relearnt yet (I'm still looking into this). I took briefly to a mechanic friend who said there had also been a major oil leak but didn't have the time to check where. I ran a fault scan and found a few faults: UD01900 Instrument cluster control module, Missing signal oil level/temperature P161C00 Glow Plug cylinder 3, Open Circuit 00283 Left Front ABS wheel sensor (I have bought new harness that will hopefully correct this) 01316 ABS Control module (I'm hoping fixing harness will remove this code) 02546 Steering limit stop - no or incorrect basic setting/adaptation 00778 Steering angle sensor I think I want to commit to this vehicle and run it till the end, it has 129,000 on the clock and *some* service history. Last full service was in 2020. Truth be told I've fallen in love with the style, colour and feel of it (before power steering failed that is aha). It had a new flywheel/clutch in 2016. No sign of cam belt change so this would be a priority. I'm abit worried about how long there has been an oil leak and if its been running dry for some time. Do you think I should take the plunge and start rolling out the ££notes on this?! I would like someone who knows these well to give it a good looking over before I do. Hopefully it will be our main family car and will be reliable enough that we can move to a one car household (cost of living you know it). I would have liked to have had a go at some of the basic jobs on this myself with the support of groups like this, however, truth is... We have baby number two on the way soon and I know that I have to prioritise getting our house in order and not spend the last of my precious free time tinkering under the hood on weekends (even though I'd like to). So is there anyone in my area that knows these beasts and can give it a good looking over? Or is there any recommendations of solid mechanics/garages who will do the service/leak/wiring harness/cam belt jobs? I live in Kidderminster, Worcs. Thanks for your time, Dan

Fan belt broke on a long journey (didn't realise at time), and battery drained bringing on all kinds of lights and bleeps. After got belt fixed Power Steering light has come on and steering feels, well, weird. Alot harder and uneven. I plugged in fault code reader and got code "02546 - Steering Limit Stop - no or incorrect basic steering adaption and also 00778 Steering angle sensor." I just picked up an A30M xTOOL scanner which is blowing my head of as an absolute novice DIYer. Can I use it to do some calibration to bring the steering back online? Thanks

thank you, I have found it on ebay and it looks like the right part. How easy is it to find these part numbers myself for future reference?

I'm looking for a replacement wiring loom for my 2007 Scout. Its the ABS/Brake pad loom NSF. Can anyone tell me a place to buy or where I can look up parts numbers if I need? Thanks

Just bought my first Skoda, Scout 2007. Love the look of these and have wanted one for a while. Got it reasonably cheap, few things need doing... ABS light which I've been told is to do with replacing the sensor and its wiring loom. I hoping fixing this will mean I can turn back on traction control which I've had to turn off as the car was 'pulling'. Bit of an oil leak as well need to sort that.
