Probably integrated with the fuel pump inside the tank. Why do you want to know?

Don't think there will be a MAF on this engine.

This hose.

The crankcase ventilation system is probably not working correctly. There's a test you can do to check one pathway. Find the thin rubber air hose that connects to the underside of the large air hose next to the airbox. Disconnect it so that you can check if there is any suction on it. Start the engine and let it run until the idle speed drops to normal, check with a fingertip if there is any suction.

The VIN will be the best start towards helping you with this. I'll start a private message conversation with you so that you don't have to put it on public view.

And I'll keep saying it as long as you keep posting those instructions, to avoid the understandable source of potential confusion.

Not forgetting the important "or" in the left hand column. Never did say suck oil out and remove drain plug.

If you pay a little money for a Freedom membership, you'll have a lot more if not unlimited capacity. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/subscriptions/

Skoda don't sell it as a complete thing with motor, but as far as I can see, for RHD cars The motor is 5J2 955 113 A The main bit of the mechanism is 5J2 955 605 B Note the 3rd character is 2 for both of the above, not negotiable. The linkages are 5J0 955 325 for right hand side, 5J0 955 326 for left hand side (both as viewed from driving position).

A 5w30 or 0w30 meeting the 504 spec will be fine.

It's actually more about keeping it cooler in proximity to a hot engine.

Did you check the bulb on nearside? And offside, come to that.

I guess so. I'm not very familiar with it. If you download the 2004 circuits from the link I gave above, and search the pdf for "bulb failure" you should find the relevant pages. I vaguely remember taking one of those 'relays' apart many years ago, and finding that it was just a set of current shunts monitoring the feed current to each of the bulbs.

Does your car have bulb failure warning system?

I think the only thing between fuses and bulb connectors is the connector pairs where the engine bay loom meets cabin loom at the firewall. BCM still not involved!

I've had emails about erWin Audi and erWin Seat going the same way, can't be long before VW and Skoda send me theirs.

Does your car have halogen or HID (Xenon) headlamps? If halogen, there's just the rotary light switch, and fuses. If xenon, there's also a starter unit after each fuse (near light clusters I think).

Oh, that is a shame. ☹️ There's time to download quite a bit between now and a month's time though.

I wonder if this is just for UK users, or more widespread?

BCM controls indicators via a solid state chip containing FETs. It doesn't control headlights at all, I believe. Circuit scrutiny not far off now, or you can research yourself via handy link to mk1 workshop manuals that can be found on here.

No, that's the indicators, not headlights.

I don't think the BCM powers the headlights. Will have a look at circuits later. I have pinouts for BCM somewhere, but doubt they'll be relevant.

Will be variable, depending on ambient temps, airflow through rad due to motion, etc. I don't think VCDS can help you here, no. At this time of year in UK, with a 1.9 diesel engine, I doubt you'd see fan action due to just radiator temperature very often, if ever. Why the concern?

Coolant temperature of 95C at engine won't be hot enough to trigger fan action via the radiator thermoswitch. The thermoswitch is generally near the outlet of the radiator, so coolant reaching it has already cooled due to passage through the radiator. The thermoswitch threshold for low speed activity of fans is 95 approx. But that's temperature at the thermoswitch, not at engine (where the sensor you're interrogating lives).
