As above, KBP has said what I was thinking.

As the others have said, you've got a towbar and electrics fitted, but your missing the detachable towball. I have a spare detachable towball, I kept from my last Octavia. It's a Witter. See if you can identify what make of system you have.... Although it would cost a fortune to post due to weight.

Thanks guys

I can offer £55 posted?

Can I ask where your getting wheels refurbed and how much. I'm needing 4 done!

It's a petrol. Oil used is from the dealer, Shell I think. Had it on a fault reader today. Misfire on all cylinders and running lean. Poss air intake pipe issue?

Anyone?

My 2006 Mk2 Vrs has just started to judder when coming off the throttle, i.e. when going from accelerating to decelerating. The engine revs are also not dropping back to idle as quickly as they should and are sometimes climbing up to 2500rpm by it's self. At tick over it is running roughly. No warning lights on. Anyone have and ideas as to what's wrong? Regards, Stu

Just had my unit replaced today. £434 all in. I contacted Skoda UK who after a long wait said they would not be able to offer any good will. I pointed out the amount of Skoda's that are owned within my family and that we would not be buying any ever again if this was not resolved. They said they would look further into it and get back to me. After another long wait they offered 30% towards the cost. ( Quoted £868 for replacment at my local dealer where I bought the car.) I then contacted the dealer who offered 20% in addition to Skoda's offer. Still p*ssed that it's cost me £434 but alot better than £868...!

Did you ask skoda for the goodwill or the dealers? As my dealer local is not intrested.

I've just been quoted £870 to have this unit replaced at the dealers. I'm hoping to persue a 'goodwill' claim with skoda as the dealers are not inrested. Has anyone had any luck with this? If that fails I think I'll go with the rebuild from ECU testing and get my local garage to do the work. Totaly miffed at the whole thing.

Had car in at stealers today, plugged it in and told me it needs ABS/ESP pump which they would fit for £870. They then took £47 for the pleasure of reading the fault code! Nightmare.

Guys, a picture speaks a thousand words.... PLEASE!!!!

My Traction control / ESP light has came on and will not go out. Any ideas why this could be? 2006 MkII Octavia Vrs. Thanks!

Just a little update to this thread. I have just had a Detachable Witter Towbar (SK18Q) fitted with single electrics. I'm very happy with how hidden it is when it's removed. Unable to really see anything at all. It clips and locks in very easily. Glad I went for this model in the end!
