Not the ecu , whatever that thing is in the picture, wiring loom ? Thanks

Hi, quick question, I think I have the same issue, can you tell me how the wiring harness unplugs to give full access to clean and seal around the ecu, I don’t want to force it for fear of damaging it, thanks in advance, Conor

Thanks very much for that detailed reply, I will have a look at sorting that out on Friday, really appreciate it, Conor

Hi, water leak from seam in firewall just behind brake pedal, fed a 10 foot cable in the gap to see where it came out below car or in engine bay , no luck, anyone any ideas on where the water is coming from and how to plug it from the outside, it is not water getting by the doors or leaking from the heater, scuttle is clear of debris and drainage holes are clear, liners were taken off last year and silt was removed, I don’t want to seal it from the inside of the car, thanks in advance, Conor, 2003 mk 1 Octavia 1.4 16v, 292000 miles, still going strong.

never updated this, but it was a worn steering rack, replaced it with one out of a scrapyard and huge difference, car now has 271k miles on it and this rack is past its best now,time for another one

the hazards were working fine, just not the indicators or main beams, really odd, cheers, conor

thanks, i have had the foggy windows for a couple of months now, tracked one leak down to hatchback seal, which i think i've sorted by punching holes in bottom of seal, but i will do as you suggest, odd that the indicators wouldnt work at same time, will have a bash at the switch later today, cheers,Conor

thanks, i read somwhere that there is no headlight relay on Octavia 1 , but i will check fuses and relays later today

hi, dipped beam lights would not work this morning, parking lights were fine, no high beam either and no fogs, front or rear , and also no indicators, hazard lights would work, drove car for about 40 minutes and dipped beams suddenly came on by themselves,checked the indicators and they were now working fine, has anyone come across this before please, i don't get the connection between the lights not working and the indicators not working, car is 2003 Octavia 1UZ 1.4 16V, with 228,000 miles, thanks,Conor
