    Intermittent display of bulb out indicator on dash display

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    When I've had this in the past its been a bulb that  the glass has gone either black or silver, not sure why the glass does this but the filament of the bulb is becoming more resistant and that's what the bulb out warning system system looks for I have often found it to be the side light bulbs or the twin filament bulbs in the rear good luck and let us know if you find the problem 

    5th Skoda from Derek Slacks

    Picked my 66 plate Yeti up on the 21st December Got to say, as always, i am very happy with my purchase

    When we went to see it they placed it in the showroom as it was dark outside, took the time to show my wife everything she asked about and were, as usual non pushy at all in any way 

    In total ive bought five second hand Skodas from them over the years and everyone of them have been  totally reliable, in fact ive still got three of them.

     

    I would certainly recommend them to anyone who doesnt want to feel pressured nor just a number

    I run a 2016 1.6 crd 118 bhp se business remapped to 150 bhp love every minute of driving  it I do notice the torque is a lot less than my old 1.9 TDI but I just use the gear box slightly more With the lock down I havnt been driving as far and I think the 1.6 is perfect for the shorter journeys yet still great mpg especially on a longer run would certainly recommend it to anyone and at least I don't have to mess about with add blue either

    Clutch pedal stuck down

    in Skoda Yeti

    Posted

    Hi Urrell  I loosened the cap myself and retightened it but less tight, while understanding what you say and agreeing I think what does happen is that the brake/ clutch fluid isn't changed as per Skoda UK advise, this vehicle had been regularly serviced outside the Skoda network the brake fluid, being hydroscopic absorbs the moister  in the air the water itself boils at times when under heavy breaking etc the expansion of the air  in the fluid and then the cooling and contraction and re absorption then causes the vacuum effect the blocking of the vent could well be caused by the non renewal of the fluid  letting debris and light rust contaminate the system I have seen this very thing happen in Vauxhall corsa and a proton all with shared master cylinder fluid and fluid that hadnt been changed regularly  I just hope it would help someone on here not get stung for a new clutch when a simple fix would suffice maybe I should amend my advice to add that a fluid change and vent check would be in order 

    Clutch pedal stuck down

    in Skoda Yeti

    Posted · Edited by satire111

    2011 Yeti 1.2 tsi petrol engine 6 speed manual gearbox 90,000 miles

    The clutch pedal went down as normal to engage reverse gear but the gear was very difficult to engage, when first gear was tried the clutch peddle went to the floor and would not return

    The problem was not a failed clutch unit as suspected at first

    The clutch fluid is fed to the clutch pedal  from the brake master cylinder and then activates the slave cylinder within the bell housing.

    The brake fluid master cylinder cap had been overtightened, a vacuum had developed as the brakes wear and the fluid lowers the clutch fluid would move as the clutch pedal was pressed but the vacuum caused the fluid, and therefore the clutch pedal, to not return, simply removing the screw cap on the master cylinder cured what was thought to be a large problem I hope this helps someone else in this group if something similar occurs on their Yeti 

    I advise changing the brake/clutch fluid every two or three years as per Skoda uk recommendation and on the advise of another member (many thanks) check the vent on the master cylinder cap

    EGR insufficient flow. 1.9 BJB

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    As I understand it, the air flow meter along with the engine e.c.u. are involved with the egr flow basically when the egr valve is opened the inlet airflow should alter and be within set parameter's that the engine e.c.u. will expect. Engine speed and engine load will also be programmed within the engine e.c.u. to start the opening of the egr

    I would be checking the air flow meter for cleanliness, spray it with brake cleaner if it looks sooty or dirty  also can you check to see that there isn't a leak from the exhaust side along the egr pipe through the water cooled unit and up to the egr unit good luck and let us know how you get on

    Did you notice this on the RossTech Notes.?

    It might be worth finding out if there a update from Skoda dealer for the ECM, ring the service  dept and ask them, giving your VIN 
    • When found in Engine: 2.0l TFSI
      • Check Wiring from/to the following Components and Components themselves:
        • Manifold Pressure / Boost Sensor (G31)
        • Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Position Sensor (G336)
        • Low Pressure Fuel Sensor (G410)

      • Check TPL 2016420 (RoW)
        • Check Engine Control Module Software Version, if necessary perform Update.
        • Replace Intake Manifold Runner (V157) with updated part.

      • Check TSB 01-08-12 or 2018402
        • Check Engine Control Module Software Version, if necessary perform Update.
        • Replace Intake Manifold Runner (V157) with updated part.
        • Additional information may be found by searching RVU 24M2 / O3 (Exp. date November 30, 2011) or calling the VW dealer and checking the VIN.



    No power to glow plugs...all 4!

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

     the glow plugs in a pd tdi engine

     

    As the vehicle ignition is turned on the engine ECU determines the engine temperature via the coolant temperature sensor and uses the mapped in calculations within the engine ECU to determine if the glow plugs need to be switched on at cranking, this is usually around 5- 9 degrees centigrade in the uk  the timing of the on period is also pre determined by the engine ECU and the use of the glow plug relay unit 

    then 

     

     

    Once the engine has started, the 4  glow plugs continue to operate (yes, continue to operate) in order to reduce engine noise,(diesel knock) improve idle quality, and reduce exhaust unburnt diesel emissions. 

    This afterglow function is thus carried out after every engine start until a specified time has expired or until the engine exceeds 2,500 RPM's - whichever comes first.

    Maxidot Question 2005 Octy Low Fuel

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    I think it is more to protect the diesel system from particles being sucked up by the in tank pump when the tank runs low, yes it has a filter fitted and there is a filter further down the line but diesel fuel is sometimes contaminated with water and grit/sand which in the old days didnt do to much damage to injectors nor pumps but of course that has all changed with the  very tight tolerances on the modern engines I think its wise to keep a good gallon or two in the tank always, just my opinion of course 

    Glowplug Woes

    in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

    Posted

    The Pdi  engine will nearly always start without the glow plugs working,unless the ambient temperature is very low   however,the glow plugs are meant to stay on after the engine starts for at least 60 seconds as an aid to lowering start up emissions so the ecu send the instruction for the glow plugs to come on post ignition then flags up codes when the glow plugs resistance is out of speck due to being worn out PS the BXE engine is fitted with 5 volt glow plugs on newer years ! i very nearly fitted the wrong ones
