Hey RoadTripper, Here are the contact details for Ashar Key Hub http://asharkeyhub.in/contact_us They can do everything for you. getting the remote casing, getting the transponder chip, programming the remote and programming the immobilizer. Here is the link for the Key Casing,[it has everything except for the remote chip & the transponder chip inside] http://www.ebay.co.u...=item416740bd61

Hey guys, where can I find the part number for an elbow pipe that connects to the Radiator and Engine, it also houses a valve and a temperature sensor.

All done.. found a guy in Bombay who reprograms the keys for about 12 GBP. and the Transponders i ordered from ebay work fine. Thanks for all the help guys!

Yup I see you've switched to Japanese I switched from Honda to Skoda

I found this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/vag-tacho-usb-vehicle-obd-cable-with-software-cd-28527 Apparently the Skoda Dealership in India will reprogram a key for me for less that 14 pounds, but i have to take the car to them. which is currently immobilised under my house

@Ross SY: Thanks man, but i stay across several ponds.. all the way in India. :(

Got it... I got the ID48 transponder, got an Octavia MK1. but i do not have the Secret Key Code. have to figure that one out

Hey Guys, I managed to break the Transponder in my Key Fob when i was swapping it out from the old one to the new one. The previous owner who i am reserving several expletives for had super glued it into place, so when i was removing it, it just broke. Now i can't start my car. 1> Can i get a replacement transponder? 2> Can it be reconfigured to mobilise my car? 3> Can i avoid going to official Skoda, as they will just make me change the entire lock set and charge me between some ridiculous amount. Regards, Sprucegoose

Thanks.. Just what i was looking for

thanks.. getting down to it in just a bit !!

Hey guys, I have 3 more minor issues, not related to the engine. 1> The Passenger footwell gets wet sometimes. I read up and it appears to be a blocked drain somewhere. How do i get the Skuttle cover off? i tried pulling it, but it didn't budge. Does anyone have a pictoral guide / Video reference of taking it off? 2> Some water leaks from the Sunroof Again i think it is a blocked Drainage pipe I removed the A Pillar interior cover and noticed a red coloured pipe that appears to be the sunroof drains. I stuck a wire down the tube from the drainage hole in the sunroof, but i think i loosened the connector, because where the A Pillar cover and the headliner meet is getting wet when i pour water into the sunroof. Water is also coming out from the rear mudflap. 3> The Sunroof doesn't go all the way back. When i twist the knob to end [without over twisting it], the Sunroof goes back [Glass & Hardboard under it] but stops about 2-3 inches short of all the way. If i then twist the knob more, it makes a noise without moving. I have to Move the Hardboard by hand and then twist the Sunroof dial further to make the glass go back till the end. is this a normal thing? How can i remove the sunroof and the headliner [so i can fix the leak and possibly the semi Jammed Hardboard of the sunroof as well]? As for the other engine problems: The O2 sensor has been ordered and am waiting for it to come. For the stalling problem, i mixed this liquid called System G that is supposed to clean out the fuel system and remove carbon deposits. Still on my first tank of Petrol And will resolve the Water leaking from the radiator when i'm changing the O2 sensor.

@chicken_eyebrow: there are no puddles under the car that i have noticed atleast.. will check again tomorrow. I had a serious radiator leak in my old car, where i had to fill up water every 20 odd kilometers, so what i'd do is drive to office [9 kms]. Work for a couple of hours when i was leaving, i'd top it up again. repeat the routine when i'd get home. Didn't get it fixed for a long time because i just had no frikking time.. would be in office for about 15 hours a day Will check all the points of interest. @Grannie O': i think my O2 sensor is giving a lean mixture signal because my mileage drops drastically when i idle and low end power has dropped. @Raf_: Thanks man i'll check that out in a couple of days. Currently i drive my car every couple of days, because i'm all out of cash.. quit my job and all.... can't even afford petrol now !!

I just noticed one more problem, my car is leaking water from the cooling system, every 3 - 4 days i need to fill water into the overflow tank. I've checked the engine oil Dip stick and the cap, there is no sign of water droplets or moisture, so i'm inclined to believe that the Head Gasket isn't leaking yet Is there any way to determine where the leak is coming from? I stuck my head into the engine bay after driving about 80 odd KMs, but could hear no hissing, saw no steam and there are no water patches below the car.

will do, i found this site http://www.mister-auto.ie is it good? 108 odd euros for Lambda Sensor BOSCH (Ref: 0 258 006 245) do you know any sites where I can search for stuff like that Fuse boxes, AC vents, front grills, cup holders, etc?

Hey guys, I'm new to Skoda and i just got myself a 2005 Octavia vRS MK1 1> What is the part number of the fuse box on top of the battery? 2> Where can i order these parts from? is http://www.mister-auto.ie good? I'm from India, you only get the parts at the dealership and they are at an approximate 300% markup.

Yup that's where the problem is... The first connector (where the red wire) is attached is melting slightly and is slightly out of position. Even the fuses are out of position because of some melting. Can i fabricate my own fuse box, because Skoda in India is ridiculously expensive. Considering an exchange rate of 70 INR per Pound Sterling, an O2 sensor will cost me over 300 pounds and a steering wheel over 500 pounds.

Well, the Right Low Beam HID flickers sometimes The AC Cools properly, though when im idling for a long time with the AC on the car becomes sluggish, but i think that is an O2 sensor problem. And the Right Driver's Power windows sometimes acts funny. Everything else is cool.. The fuse box on the battery though looks like is in need of replacement, I read on the forum somewhere that if it is faulty it will return a lot of electrical problems.

I just got the car checked with the VAG-COM There is definitely an O2 sensor problem. And a lot of other minor problems. A couple of questions: 1> What is the "Comfort System" in the Instruments section of the readings below 2> What is the CAN Gateway?

Thanks for the help man.. i will be meeting up with a fellow Briskodian today who has a VAG-COM setup, to check out what the CEL is coming on for. And i'll invest in some Fuel Injector cleaning fluid right away

Hey guys, my Octy has been giving me a weird problem 1> The CEL light is always on [i think it's an O2 sensor problem] will be confirming that shortly 2> When i idle the car the mileage drops drastically the mileage indicator [that shows Liters/100 km] will rise from about 8 - 12 liters to about 20 - 30 Litres for a 100 KM 3> When i have less than half a tank of petrol the car tends to stall 4> When i start up the car just after the engine starts i get this weird sound, sort of like the threads on the starter motor grinding against something. 5> When i accelerate, i get a hissing sound, is that just the turbo running properly or is it something loose? I'm new to the skoda and I'm new to Turbocharged vehicles, so please excuse the Noobidity! Thanks, Shekhar

Sorry about that.. just realised after i posted that it was in the wrong section. i don't know what the fault codes are.. i got an OBD 2 ELM 327 bluetooth dongle at home. im going to link it up to my car & PC and see if i can get the info

Hey guys, I just got a Skoda Octavia vRS, but i've been having some problems 1> The CEL light is on 2> The car stalls randomly, happens when i'm idling, ripping, driving sedately 3> Mileage drops drastically when the car is idling 4> The car stalls only when i have less than half a tank of petrol. 5> there is a slight hissing sound from the engine bay when the turbo kicks in My tuner says that there is an O2 sensor problem which he is going to change, but why does this happen only when i'm low on petrol. He cleaned the O2 sensor and reset the fault code, but the CEL came back on only when i was driving is start - stop bumper to bumper traffic at a top speed of 10 Meters per minute Could it be a clogged fuel filter / fuel pump? Why does my mileage drop so drastically when i idle? This happens when with and without the AC running.

Thanks a tonne.. there's one guy in my City!!

You can do that with a vagcom? can you point me to some reference material?

+1 to stringbean. I saw the season then read the book. planning to do that for season 2 as well.
