I have had a mk3 Octavia for about a month now. It has 2 keys, one won't unlock the car but will start it and the other will unlock and start the car. I can't see a key slot on the door and am concerned that if the only fob that will open the car stops opening it I'm stuffed. Do I just change the battery in the working fob and hope for the best or is there a procedure to follow? Thanks for any help, Paul

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that

Wow! That's a very detailed response, thank you very much. I will work through your suggestions. It's only the front drivers footwell that is sodden so I will start with the scuttle panel first. The temp gauge on the dash gets up to temp and sits at just above 90 but the blower won't blow hot. I changed the pollen filter on the passenger side recently, I'll check it's seated in properly. The boot is dry and the rear washer works so I don't think I have an issue with that. Thanks again for your suggestions, Paul

The drivers footwell in my 2009 Octavia estate is very wet, when I push my foot into the carpet there is a massive pool of water. This is causing condensation on the windscreen which is difficult to clear as the blower won't blow hot air. Are there any obvious causes for where the water is getting in? Thanks, Paul

I got round to fitting the replacement blower motor today. Didn't need to remove the glove box as it was accessable from underneath, 5 minute job. I ordered the part off ebay, I took mine out of the car and compared the part numbers on the motor and the resistor and found one off a VW Passat for £40 for the motor and resistor. I fitted it and tried it but it didn't work first time so I had another look and I hadn't pushed it all the way in, gave it a shove and a twist and it works a treat now, even the aircon seems to blow reasonably cold so that is a bonus too. I'm very pleased as it was a cheap fix and I was able to do it myself even though I'm not very handy with the tools.

Pollen filter arrived today, took about 30 seconds to fit, easiest car I have ever changed one on. Whilst I was under the glove box I managed to remove the blower motor without removing the glove box. It span freely so I sprayed it with WD40 and replaced it but it still doesn't work. I have now ordered a replacement...

I've ordered a pollen filter, when that comes I will remove the notor and try some WD40 on it. If that doesn't help I will have to order a new motor, it looks simple enough to replace.

I have a new to me 2009 estate with the same problem, did you manage to solve it?
