Unless the car is in warranty, why give Skoda the work?

Bike puncture repair patch? I guess £37.09 + VAT from a dealership is not in your 'sensible price' category?

I think you'll find it on the relay panel behind lower dash trim, driver's side. Spans positions 13 and 14 on bottom row.

Might have to try via his forum. I was going to say the same as skomaz, but when I went to look up details there was a pop-up that said 'no longer trading, but forum still active for now'. ☹️

Look for broken wires between a-pillar and door.

See paragraph about fan testing in an earlier post of mine up there ^.

Ask the mechanic what the exact fault code was, unless it was the same as in your picture? Bank 1 sensor 1 could refer to a lambda sensor or a temperature sensor, so no use without the code number. For fan testing I would recommend disconnecting the radiator thermoswitch (just above bottom hose connection) and bridging contacts of the loom plug. Will provide a marked-up picture shortly. No idea about DPFs, sorry.

Not according to your screenshot, nor google. What's awkward for you is that there may be 3 exhaust gas temperature sensors in your exhaust system, so you'd do well to get a less generic fault code to narrow down which is being detected as faulty. VCDS Lite will do for scanning your car. Rad fan may well be the fan itself rather than any sensor or thermoswitch. Can guide you to testing it out, please say if the car has working A/C or not.

Compare google image results for the two part numbers would be my suggestion.

Cabin fuse no. 1, and strip fuse no. 6 (2nd from left) in the covered section in the left part of your photo above, are the only ones relevant on your car. If they check out OK disconnect the fan at the connector where it goes from 3 wires (from fan control module) to 2 wires (to fan itself) and apply 12V to the fan side wires red wire positive, brown negative. If that spins up OK (fingers/hands clear, it'll go at full chat, loud and choppy-fingery) the fan itself is OK, and the fault will either be the connector, which contains the low-speed resistor according to the circuits, or the fan control module. Report back on fuses and direct feed test first. 👍

That fuse is only there if the car doesn't have A/C as far as I recall from a recent thread on a car that didn't. I'll look at circuits when I get a chance, to give you some testing ideas for the fan.

Read/photograph it off the base of the windscreen when you get there and PM it to me, I can look it up.

Do you know the VIN?

I think that's probably a correct filter, but if you'd like to message me with your VIN I can check more thoroughly. I think @xman is probably the better fella to guide you through checking whether the 'seal error' has been made by the person fitting it. I've read about the issue but never had hands-on experience of this engine.

Isn't this the engine type where a carelessly replaced oil filter ends up with an old seal stuck and duplicated when the new filter goes on? Leading to low oil pressure. Not sure why it's not triggering a warning, but maybe not quite low enough? Did the noisiness start shortly after an oil service? When was the last oil service? What exact oil was used? What part number of filter?

Yes, I think all use wheel speed info.

Probably one of the wheel speed/ABS sensors starting to give duff info from time to time. Scan for stored fault codes.

Close, 1ZF. 276 x 24mm

Fronts tend to never be on there. PM your VIN to me and I can tell you.

I reckon about 9 out of 10 'sensor faults' turn out to be wiring failures/damage on Skodas.

Red/grey from pin 1 of sensor connector finishes at engine ECU pin 52, brown /grey from pin 2 goes to ECU pin 53.

Circuit diagrams say brown/grey, and red/grey are the two wires for G62. I think that could be what's in your picture, yes.

@Thompa021 I think it's 044103499B £5.51 + VAT from your friendly local Skoda parts counter. Likely to need ordering in! Compare google image results for this number and what you have removed.

Yes, if the wiring is all intact.
