Skoda Octavia II Combi 2010. Got same issue with lights in the front (right side) and light on the back left side not working. After lots of studying electrical diagrams, finally figured out it was a bad connection in the fuse socket for F16 in the Engine compartment fuse box. See this link above: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/00927_-_Terminal_30_(Right) Quick fix: Solved it by adding "solder" on the fuse connection, see above

Skoda Octavia 1,9 TDI Year 2002 - Won’t start. No glow plug light and starter wont crank – Relay 109 Just want to input my experience into this forum in order to assist other, with similar problems. Apologize for my English, but it wouldn’t make sense to make it in Danish 😊. Had similar, but not exact same symptoms as described by several other treads. Occasionally my wife’s Octavia wouldn’t start and a few times engine just stopped when driving. Normally after some attempts the car started again and drove for some more weeks, so really annoying to troubleshoot. Finally, yesterday the Engine again stopped during driving and car couldn’t start. When turning ignition key “No glow plug light” and “starter wont crank”. Have had another issue with a damaged relay 109 earlier (No glow plug light), where the car couldn’t start, but is that situation the starter cranked fine. Was at that time solved with a new relay 109. Anyway, started by taking out relay 109 and tested it with 12 VDC on coil and multimeter on relay contact, worked perfect. Mounted relay 109 again and tried starting, but still same symptoms. Went back to Google and started by searching around in forums, but couldn’t find exact similar symptoms. Most similar problems found were caused by broken wiring from relay 109 or bad connections to ECU (Engine Control Unit). Back to the car and started with checking the wiring behind the socket (purple color in my car) where relay 109 is inserted and noticed, when pulling the bunch of wires on the back, that the relay 109 sockets seems to be a bit loose in the “mount”. Supported the socket from behind and inserted relay 109 completely. Turned ignition key and glow plug light came on, and Starter cranked in fine and car started. So, problem solved :-) In order to access Relay 109 you need to remove the lower facia (drivers side below ODB plug) by removing the two plate torch screws. In order to access relay 109 I removed the Wiper relay, see picture below Big thanks to all who contribute here, it really appreciated and finally an appeal to end/close the tread once the problem is resolved. Think to many cases end up in a “dead end”
