ABS control unit at top of this diagram ^ Dash instruments PCB is K, below. 410 is an earth splice point in main loom, apparently.

Doesn't matter as long as it says 507 00. If you want the psychological reassurance of something connected to VW Group, this is the Quantum version you want (not necessarily the best price, haven't checked: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154621437616?epid=7032265364

13000+ results to choose from here, but double check before ordering that it really does say 507 00 on the pack. 50700 for sale | eBay PS, it doesn't matter what else it says, as long as it has 507 00. For example, all of them are likely to also say 504 00, that's fine.

If it doesn't say "VW 507 00" anywhere on the container, then it isn't suitable. The one you linked doesn't clearly show it within the link, but I know from having bought some myself (for a car that it does suit) that this one isn't rated to 507 00. You can just about make out 505 00/505 01 as the approvals that it does have in this screenshot. Not DPF compatible.

Regarding 'bullying tactics' for smart meter installation, this page at citizens advice explains that it is not compulsory, and gives a link to contact them to report any unwelcome pressure from a supplier. Just scroll down one third of the way to the heading "Refusing a smart meter". Getting a smart meter installed - Citizens Advice Personally I'm not in any way against them, and don't share the paranoia about supply throttling; I also have one. But when the 90+ year-old neighbours were told they must have one (which they didn't want), I was very prompt in finding the info in that link for them.

Fuse 31 amongst the ones you checked? That supplies the sensors' heaters.

Thanks, but there seem to be multiple versions of the wiring, which I clearly didn't realise at the time. One that I looked at, on page 109/21 of the Octavia2 from May 2007> does indeed show it as what I wrote. Shame I didn't check for other, different versions.

No, you need one rated to 507 00.

Sell it at a 'kind' price to a local friend Ryan, get them to put you on their policy as a named driver, then just borrow it whenever needed. That way they pay all the bills, you get to use it.

Carbs were rather poor at giving a well atomised, correct ratio mixture compared with electronic fuel injection, so the environment the plugs had to work in was a lot more variable and generally worse for longevity.

When's it due an MOT?

Are you sure you're looking at the correct control unit? Steering Assist (VCDS module 44 under chassis tab, for cross-reference) rather than steering wheel, maybe? If there is no real fault it will almost certainly clear itself after a few drive cycles though.

Part number and manufacturer part number shown as second item 4 here, I think. Check that your engine code is a match to DADA. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/KAR/834/9/905/905000

@Luckypants thanks for offering some positivity instead of the constant whining and bickering. 👍

Read your messages @davidj241.

You can probably just stick a phone under there at arms length and take a 'selfie' of the drain plug, with it on the ground. Certainly if one side/ two wheels are up on a kerb.

@TheWanderer I doubt that the clips will come with it, but they seem pleasingly cheap at 38p + VAT each, 8E0863727A. 10 reqd allegedly.

Yep; best idea if they caused it, they fix it. Please let us know what is found.

£20.59 + VAT, so £24.71 in your hand at Skoda dealers.

Follow the servo hose back from the servo, looking for any unconnected bits...

No idea, sorry. Doesn't ring a bell though. I tend to think, put the price you'd absolutely dream of getting, then edit/bring it down a notch every few days until you start to get any sniffs of interest.
