Can anyone help me too ? last week both my EPC and emmisions warning light appeared. The car itself (Octavia VRS late06) is running fine, no obvious problems. took it to local garage who`s diagnostic machine couldn`t help so advised to take it to dealer. Yesterday was at Mervyn Stewart Belfast who diagnosed the `Control Module` may have failed a replacement part is £1250.45 +VAT+FITTING !!! how can this be when the car is running fine? They can`t look at it until the 8th of February but said its ok to drive on until then. Are they just chancing their luck or has anyone else heard of this. One staff member here cant belive this is the problem and they say they might need it for two days and it might just be something simple. Any advice and reasurance would really help me right now all i can think of is the BILL!!! thank you in advance.

`BEWARE !` Had to take my car to this dealership after it developed misfiring and engine management light on. Intially charged me nearly £140 to diagnose, and dry spark plugs! Told me fault may have occurred by "A Customer Cleaning Operation" Drove from dealer and had to return straight away fault not cured! New Coils then fitted after the dealer i`d bought from (Phillip Petersen) stepped in and paid bill. `Abraham`s` refused refund even though they hadn`t fixed it first time. Surely work should have been done under warranty? New car and not yet due it`s first service.Skoda UK say they were right to charge and still waiting for response from `Abraham`s`! Maybe Skoda should be thinking of a product recall if coils are already causing problems. Won`t be back to Abraham`s sticking with Petersen`s of Bangor.

Just had to return my Octavia VRS to dealer. misfirng! diagnosis - corroded coil. tried to tell me water had got around plugs due to me cleaning the car! trying to thrash it out with them over warranty...

Me too! had this problem with my Octy VRS when the weather was particulary bad spoke with the dealer who said that it may be coming from the seal / drain in the sunroof? due its first service and will have it checked then but no problem recently just drained it out by taking the wells rubber bungs out and dried off with towels.

Thanks for the help.

Hello fellow Briskoda`s ! New member looking for help already ! Can anyone tell me how to get rid of condensation that has formed in the headlights of my `06 Octavia VRS ? After all this rain recently its fogging up with condensation, have tried to burn it off with the lights on full beam and by blowing hot air through the rear of the headlight units by removing the black rubber covers and using the brides hairdryer. This has got rid of most but some still remaining any thing else i could be doing ? :confused: .
