Rac arrived scanned the car and old codes shown up ,I had got the car started again when he arrived .He erased old codes and scanned again .The car didn't show any codes after reset. He said putting on a new battery could cause old codes to show again and he said erasing them could be all I need . attached the scan the RAC did before he erased the codes . https://rescue-report.rac.co.uk/rescue-report/f1xfoniovc?vrn=WR11OFO&source=MyRac+App

just died on me again lrave it for half hour and it starts wierd very wierd .

Hello, i have a belaro head unit ,bluetooth is showing in the menu but I really can't find how to select it or if it's even possible . Any ideas how I can get bluetooth to work or install a bluetooth adapter Mk 2 1.6 Petrol octavis 2011 .

I thought I would let people know that replacing the fuel cap seems to have sorted out my problems .The car hasn't stalled conked out since .

when it conks out it just stops running ,everything works ,lights and stuff . The erg light and the engine light stay on the dash .The light that is red and looks electric wave came on last time ,When I try to restart straight away it just turns over and doesn't seem to want to fire .What I have noticed a couple of times is ,when I'm driving the car seems to lurche just for a second like it's going to conk out but carrys on . if I just leave it running ,idling after a certain time the car just dies ,but will start again in 10 mins .

The garage has had it for 3 days and don't have a clue what's wrong with the car .

Took the car to a garage,they said it was the tempreture sensor ,which they replaced . I broke down going to work the next day . My car seems to drive for a certain length of time then cuts out.I have broke down twice on the exact same place going home .Leave the car alone for 10 min or so then it starts again ,any clues please ?

I have the car at work i left it idling and it seems to conk out when it gets to temp ,any ideas please ?

I have changed the crankshaft sensor and the car is still just conking out or not starting now and again,though it's getting more regular .This morning while waiting for the garage to open and idling it just stopped and wouldn't start .I pushed the car out the way and it then started.The mechanic who serviced my car says it the battery and something to do with the immobiliser and key fob .He seems to think changing the battery should fix it ? He is recommending a platinum battery . What do you think ?

Finally my octavia 1.6 se broke down on the way home ,rac turned up 20 mins later and the car started ,he followed me home the car broke down again .He towed me home .He scanned the car and it showed no faults .He said 90% sure it's the crankshaft sensor ,i have ordered one and will collect it tomorrow.Where is the best place for me to download a manual to help me fix it please ? The problem only happens on way home never in the mornings Thanks in advanced Mick

I bought a cheap obd reader of Amazon and it shows no codes ,are the relays easy to get at ?

No they don't.

Can you remember the AH size you bought please ?

I don't know what else to say really . I parked the car for a week went on hols came back car started straight away .It does seem that if the car doesn't fire straight away it won't start .When I'm driving it everything seems fine .If it doesn't start and I leave the car alone for 10 minutes it usually starts .The clicking im hearing in the cabin ,could it be a dodgy relay ? I'll try get it into a garage and let them look at it . Thank you all I will replace the battery and have a look at the weekend . Mick

No it doesn't do that ,last I drove home about 6 miles ,stopped at a shop got back into the car and it wouldn't start,it has done it before but usually starts. after 10 mins of trying I called the rac.He turned up 20 mins later and got in the car and it started ,which I was highly embarrassed about .When I turn the key so the car is on not starting I here a noise in the area of the glove box or fuse box but not always like a clicking noise ? Thanks for replying .
