    BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ACTIVATING - A COIL SYMBOL HAS NOW APPEARED ON THE FACIA. I HAVE CHECKED BULBS AND FUSES BUT ALL OK. WHAT NEXT

    check to see that it has not come loose from its mounting,,if it has put it back and some insulation tape tight around it to stop it coming loose again,if it has not come loose while you are their take it off and bring it with you when you are getting the new one so you can get the same one,,good luck,and take care,,,,,

    Bad eggy smell engine shudder

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    Hope anyone can help I have a MK1 Octavia Vrs yellow 2002 the car has done about 50k and I dont usually hammer it or anything like that however the other day I gave it a bit on the motorway and noticed a very strong eggy (sulphur) smell even when i pulled up it smelt all around the car now whenever I rev more than around 3lk revs the engine seems to splutter or miss fire hard to explain as I am no mechanic but if i rev it all the way to 8k when static and in neutral it is clear as a bell with nice turbo sound anybody any ideas

    btw it drives rough when first started cold then clears up after about 5 mins if that is anything to do with it

    cheers

    HI, had the same problem with the egg smell,have you tried to scan for fault codes, or pending codes,mine was the EGR valve. that could be something to do with it,sometimes it can get stuck with carbon ,hope you get it sorted out soon, all the best

    BEST OIL FOR 1.9TDI ENGINE

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Also suggest you learn what the caps lock key is!

    For a 1.9 PD, any VW505.1 oil (fixed) VW506.1 oil (variable) or VW507.0

    If you have a DPF VW507.0 oil for everything.

    The variable oils can be used for fixed servicing also.

    THANKS FOR THE ADVICE ,,GETTING TO LEARN ALL ABOUT SKODA CARS ,,THANKS AGAIN,,,,,,,,,

    Hatch Tailgate Rattle

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted · Edited by nutskoda

    Has anyone had a rattle from their tailgate?

    It happens over rough roads but I think I can reproduce it when shutting the boot. It seems to rattle from the left hand side near where the gas strut attaches to the hatch lid.

    Everything seems tight and I'm having difficulty tracing it further.

    Just wondered if anyone else had it and what the fix might be?

    I HAD THE SAME..IT WAS THE NUMBER PLATE ,,THE CENTER OF IT HAD COME AWAY JUST ENOUGH TO VIBRATE WHEN I ACCELERATED ,I THOUGHT THE EXHAUST HAD COME LOOSE,,

    DIY NEW ALARM ?

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    HI TO ALL,,,,,I WOULD LIKE TO FIT A ALARM TO MY OCTAVIA 1.9TDI, IS THEIR MUCH INVOLVED, WHAT ALARM IS NOT TOO HARD TO FIT,,FOR A DIY JOB, CAN I USE THE CENTRAL LOCKING KEY STANDERD TO THE CAR TO ARM THE ALARM,, OR WILL I HAVE TO USE THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE ALARM?

    BEST OIL FOR 1.9TDI ENGINE

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    Oil for 1.9 PD engines is 5W 40 fully syntetic vw spec 505.01 (fixed service)

    5W 30 fully synthetic 507.00 (variable service)

    And the halfords oils are acutally just rebranded Comma products so they should be fine, although I tend to stick to castrol :thumbup:

    Hope this helps :D

    GREAT, THANK YOU,I WAS NOT SURE WITH SO MANY TYPES OUT THEIR,THANKS AGAIN,,,,

    ERG VALVE CLEAN

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    For a proper EGR clean, the inlet manifold really needs to be removed completely and thoroughly cleaned. Then you can also get a finger in and clean the inlet ports on the head as well.

    I have avoided having to do this by fitting an EGR over 4 years ago! :D Clean as a whistle, my manifold/intake

    YES I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO ,,POLIHS THE PORTS ,THE NEXT TIME,THAT WOULD BE MY NEXT JOB I THINK ,THANKS FOR THE PICS,
