Wipers will not stop - no off position Octavia mk1 vRS
Col200sx replied to Col200sx's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Great detailed post, thanks for that. I'll be doing this soon as I'm waiting on delivery of a wiper stalk. I never got the wiper motor replaced, the one above sold, and the others I enquired on I haven't gotten yet. I've since been advised, like I was above too, that to replace the wiper stalk and switch was the way to go. -

Yep got same job last year, straight bolt on job, nothing else needed. Decent piece of kit too at a good price. FWIW I do remember being told to use specifically VAG gearbox oil (2 litres I think it was), but I don't know how important it was. I did anyway because it was only a little more expensive. -

Thanks, just spotted a video for it on YouTube. Will disconnecting the battery ensure the airbag won't go off? -

Can I ask, has anybody that has had similar issue, just replaced the wiper stalk and switch? Is it a straight bolt on job or anything more complicated than that? -

Thanks for the detailed answer. I have no documentation that the dump valve has ever been replaced. The cars is now at 142k miles. Will I only know if the dump valve was the cause by replacing it with another one? Are there any tell-tale signs that it's the probem? (haven't taken off a dump valve before so not sure what to look for).- 27 replies

If the self park is gone, does that mean new motor? Excuse my ignorance, but if the other functions of the motor work, would it not point to something else? (I'll have to see first if it's a motor I need before I buy one, but thanks for heads up on your Ebay link). -

All other functions on the stalk work fine. As in different positions still put on wipers on intermittently, constant and also full speed. Just what was off is now fully on. I haven't been able to access the motor yet as it's p1ssing rain (no pun intended!). -
Just last night with my wipers on intermittenly, they sat back in a higher than normal position while driving. Then after that, they would not stop at all. What previously was the off position, is now constant, so once key is ignition, they're on regardless of the position. I have searched the forum, but not found a solution. I've disconnected the fuse, replaced it, pulled out the 377 relay, cleaned contacts (which were very clean as is) and reconnected. The relay clicks as normal so I think the relay is fine. For the record, they never seized or had any difficulty before, and Ive heard mention of a rear motor causing issues, my 2002 vRS doesn't have a rear wiper. What do I do next?

A late update, but the MAF took nearly two weeks to arrive. So I changed out the old MAF for a new one, and guess what...... Still the same. So it shows that my original one was fine. On further inspection, I found the y-pipe (crankcase breather pipe?) on top and side of block had a major split in it. I patched this up with duct tape as a temp solution, but still the same. Having scanned it again, I'm still getting a: 17705 Pressure drop between turbo and throttle valve P1297 (check dv) I've picked up a fuel filter which will be fitted today, as I haven't found any documentation to show it's been done. Lets see what that does.- 27 replies

Well on the plus side, I got a genuine Bosch MAF ordered from mister-auto.ie for €125 delivered. Cheapest I could find. Due for delivery midway through next week, so will post up after fitting.- 27 replies

Cheers lanciadub : ) So I got round to cleaning out my MAF, replaced it and while I still got that initial cold first start, it did feel quicker and a crisper acceleration. I got a loan of a Vgate Scanner from a friend, what that did bring up was: 16486 P0102 MAF sensor G70 signal too low. Also looking at the MAF, it was a Bosch 0 280 218 063 (06A 906 461L). Is this the correct one from factory? Interestingly, while the revs didn't fluctuate before, once cleaned the MAF and unplugged there was a distinct change of revs, and my traction control light came on too. I can get one from Skoda here in Galway for €157 provided I give back my old MAF. Would this latest point towards a f.cuk.ed MAF?- 27 replies
