Well having lived with this problem for a while, my front anti roll bar does require some attention i.e. bushes... but my symptoms are actually continuous i.e. when driving strainght, and affected by acceleration too (an increase in feel) but also with the clutch disengaged -
Or get a professional buff and polish done

Ahhh, can anyone inform he how i can check/fix this.... Found the location, and am i right in assuming this may be why the aircon wont start, does it rely on the fan control unit? Just to clarify, i can use the normal heat/cool features (ECON) i think its called, and i all my setting work, i.e. windscreen, footwell, dash, recirculate etc. the olny thing that doesnt start is the air con, as said before fans dont kick in and there is no engine rev change -

Right i have checked, no rad fans when i turn AC on, the AC fuse appears normal, will still change for spare when i get chance, wire appear normal and clutch still attached, test readout is 0 rpm and the system is fully gassed..... any ideas???? is there a relay or something that could be dead -

DSS199 replied to yesiamtom's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Is there anyone who could guide me on how to look for if mine is missing, when i turn on the AC and press the buttons to check the AC clutch speed i get a readout of 0, So i was told by skoda i would need a whole new AC fitting and regas etc.... costing ££££'s If mine is the same and just needs a replacement clutch i could get a doner one and fit it? -

No, but they were all i the green, nearly dead on, was watching the comp when they tested it, the guy even said it wasnt worth touching, come to think of it, the alignment was probably done during the front end rebuild, i assume its the engine mount as the car was shook to bits when the DMF died
