pastiche

Thanks guys.

My airbag warning light will not go off. Found broken wire in loom that goes into drivers door. What is the part number please .

Today my Octy went in for service and had a curtsy New Octavia 1.5 loaned. Took me a while with this one with all the new gadgets. Did not like view to the rear, like looking in a post box. Front vision at first like sitting on the floor but did get it up a bit with loads of yanking, vision obscure by that massive chunk with mirror. Performance was very quick except take foot off throttle, engine did not slow car so braking constantly, I drive on the gas pedal as a rule and my Octy slows up straight away. Interior, felt like I was driving a mini where as mine feels spacious, end result for me is a no no if I was looking to buy,

Just bought one from ebay at £3.11. At first it looked identical to present one but this one seems to be too thick plus slightly oversize in diameter, As having to pay return postage I will "muck" around it if I can make it fit.

Robert Thanks for that will give it a go

My one has mind of its own, even setting at at 22 degrees the centre vents blow cool whereas the outer ones are hot, The temperature needle at least now is moving to correct position, Garage say it is the Matrix , Any thoughts guys?.

So had problem with the heater where the thermostat would not move and cold air coming through vents at 22d setting , Had both themostats replaced along with a sensor or whatever its called. Took it for a run and all seemed well. Well 24 hrs and problem back, now he said its proberly the Matrix on the drivers side blocked as when he fiddeled around turning knobs etc the heat came through when it was on maximum. Whats involved getting to the matrix and how to unblock is my question, would appreciate you comments , Thanks.

Three times was seen by Skoda with all the fancy gear and did not do any improvement. So done the disconnecting thing and all my problems were solved. Forget the key comment in my case.

Well to me it done that. I did leave out one thing in that comment and that was turning on the headlights with the leads off. of course they will not come on but maybe it is draining the last bit of energy in the system. So, I can now start the the car in an instant instead of waiting ages for it to go.

Check the yellow wire in harness from car to door, that if you peel back the rubber harness you might find what I had, which was. a broken wire . Easy fix

i had many of them problems until I done this. Disconnect both battery leads. Clamp them both together and leave them for about 20 mins. Reconnect both to battery.Mine started right away and no longer have them problems

This might sound stupid but it worked for me. Three times mine has been back to Skoda dealer each time saying "it could be anything so would require searching for problemn so bring it in for two days !. Anyway saw this on Utube and tried it and problemn solved. Disconnect both battery leads and connect then together.Wait for around twenty mins , then reconncet to battery. Could not believe it , problem solved.

Here we go again, engine will not start until I wait about one minuet with ignition on. Trouble is some times it will start after waiting but light does not go off. However the there is no power lost at any time. But when driving with the light on several other things happen. Tempetur gauge does not move off from zero and headlights do not seem normal. One last thing at one time the engine started but with the dsg box in reverse it would not go until I stopped the engine and restarted it,.Any comments?.

Thought I should note that all has been done, ie yellow wire broken , took ten minuets and guy only wanted £20 and that was with diagnostic where he cleared all faults. Mt Skoda dealer wanted £80 for test £15 for curtsy car plus mending the break. I did ring them and told them of what was wrong but they insisted on doing a diagnostic test first.

Just had a look and yes the yellow wire is broken but how did you join the wire as it is so small a place to get my hands in.
