  1. That could be as a result of battery drain. Could try disconnecting its fuse leaving off for a few days see if that improves battery situation.
  2. Factory radio been changed at all usually first thing ?
  3. If you have problems selecting. Clean the selector arm that’s attached to the gear lever cables. Especially where it enters a shaft on the gearbox remove clean up shaft and pin grease and replace. Made a difference to 2 different cars I have owned to smooth out selection issues.
  4. Well Matt, the market is strong for a good one but there are plenty of sheds that make people think they can pay less. Humour us and give us a ball park. Might help to keep it on here
  5. Get some more trophies in. Will increase the value 😇 Expect you will be asking for a tidy sum given your investment ?
  6. Not sure if true of 1.8TSI petrol engines with bore liner issues drinking oil like on a stag. So some research.
  7. For my rear speed sensor the hub/bearing was also replaced due to corrosion. Maybe something you should investigate. Mine all done by Skoda. Takes away the ABS and traction lights when fixed.
  8. Looking good Ryan. What’s happened to your chrome loud pedal cover ?
  9. VCDS can read ECU mileage or whereever it’s stored ?
  10. Just some ideas. Have the clutch bled Follow the gear selectors to gearbox detach from the lever. Take that 2 or 1 pin bit of metal just under the 2 pictured in below. Clean shaft and where it inserts and grease inside and reassemble. Helped solve my MK2 octy and Fab Mk1 gear selection issues. Of course you could also readjust cables procedure on YouTube. Ps is the number 2 under where the orange selector cable is just above where the red circle is on this example picture.
  11. Ps such an amazing payment for a 110k car is that, with a few 100 spend it can be back on the road depends how prefect you want it to be. Doors and wings bolt on I believe.
  12. Make sure you get a facelift door if yours is said model as I believe the wiring loom for door might be different. Certainly on a 55 plate seems differences on rear doors
  13. There are always Fabs breaking. Plenty of silver especially Jacob Bell appears to break for a living on Facebook, based East Midlands way. Therefore get genuine used parts instead of pattern. Doors are about £30 these days. All very cheap as there are soo many breaking
  14. Again not an expert but 1.6 injectors can be troublesome.
  15. Consider yourself lucky with the ABS sensor mine was at least double that as the hub had to be replaced also
  16. Be prepared they have to replace the hub bearing so the price becomes expensive as it’s not just a sensor and labour it’s the hub and labour also. It was on MK2 anyway
  17. On MK2 all those lights were the ABS/speed sensor.
  18. Not bad for 2lt TDI. They and I say the 1.9 was the peach of this era
  19. I am sure this one came up before. Maybe never sold. Proper time warp locked away by a ŠKODA Dealer until ready to sell. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202504010822789?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app
  20. Grab some from eBay I did find my hatch replacements a lot stronger. Or maybe I got used to how naff old ones were. Very easy to change. Use a good support piece of wood or broomstick. The weak one might make it drop on your head/fingers.
  21. Problem for me was hit and miss if it came on at all. No good in winter for demisting and summer air con. I have heated screen which helped abit with the misting. Hence why I had to replace. Make sure any eBay seller packs well as the same breakers part arrived smashed twice. The impeller leaves the central shaft very quickly during transit ie smashed plastic. for the low outlay £26 it’s worth getting yourself a decent spare ready. I try and ask them to ensure it spins freely and also look for corrosion down the centre shaft looking down into the motor from impeller end.
  22. I did the same 2 times. My car is very infrequently used now and I think the lack of use caused the motor to keep stopping. Got a used unit with exactly same part numbers or revision F from a VW Touran and it’s been working fine albeit I think the climate has one cold temperature freezing. There is a fault logged I need to review.
  23. Fix might be short lived. I got a used unit and replaced mine as it was intermittently working 2011 model.
  24. Following please keep the thread updated seems some MK2 suffer this eventually
