I had a similar issue with my pan sunroof ,managed to get it closed . I had a couple of inches of water in all footwells , checked drainage outlets found the drainage hose on both front drains were kinked and always had been .This happened after a heavy snowfall then thawed while I was away on a trip and car was in drive .In the end I went to a local vinyl wrapping shop. I asked for a 50mm strip round all edges and middle joint black gloss vinyl pulled the fuses for roof and blind no more water , no more open sunroof . I have a mate whose had the same issue with a VW tiguan pan roof cost about £100 if I remember

I have 2012 L&K panoramic sun roof no issues until 2022 after heavy snow , being away for the weekend went to open car with key fob , roof opened for no apparent reason , not the long press that opens all windows and roof .The car had a couple of inches of water in every footwell. Bailed it out manually closed sun roof ,checked roof drains rear were ok front both sides were kinked almost flat where they attached to rubber grommet drain outlet removed plugs from sunroof an blind switch removed fuses .Took car to vinyl wrapping company had a 2 inch vinyl strip covering all sunroof seals .Still have water ingress with heavy rain coming through passenger side just above bonnet release lever Yet to solve this .also happened to my friends ,Toureg pan roof .

Hi how did you get on with the seat heating ? Ive just noticed mine are not working checked the fuses . Front and rear fuse 36 and 37 are ok ,noticed when rear switches are on they are not lighting but the front switches light up three bars .No heat in any seat. john

check this topic see if it sounds familiar 2.0 TDI CR temperature

Only owned DSG for 6 weeks previously had 08, 140 manual Octavia L&K combi for 5 yrs .I am now converted read lots and does not worry me in the slightest.My mate the Skoda nutter mechanic always told me don't touch the 2.0 tdi stick to the 1.9 tdi. Still have not shown him this one he will go ballistic.He did all the MOT's last 5 yrs never had a bad word to say about it . the new one is 170 012 Superb L&K combi he hates Superbs not the same build quality he reckons .

Finally got the stat changed today everything back together took it a 40 mile blast down the M74, temp needle bang on middle again and stays there. cheers again One Pot

Cheers , One Pot , I ordered the part through your link hopefully will be here by the weekend get it fixed then.

Did it solve the problem I am sure I have the same problem as of yesterday.Do you need the car on ramps or can it be fitted from above with bonnet open , is it easy to find ?.

Hi tried putting my finger over them as you suggested no reaction at all .They are clean and no road film .Think I will have to find where they go back to must be in the boot somewhere cheers John

Hi I have searched the forum can't find anything on faulty sensors .When reverse is engaged the display shows the car and bleeps for about seconds then display and sound stop.Anyone came across this any advice would be appreciated. cheers John

I had trouble with the rear wiper from November through till February , sometimes it would work fine , then stop hafway other times then pack in completely. It's been fine since works every time thought it might possibly the salt on the roads , works fine clearing rainwater seemed to give problems when window was really dirty .Glad I never bought a replacement about 70 - 80 quid .

Another question, when do timing belts get changed read on other thread 09 plate timing belt should be replaced in 2031 , another person said 4 yrs.What else should I look for in service history ?.

Are you sure you will have to wait till the weekend you sound pretty passionate about your level 3 , plus side for me the more I listen to you I feel I have made the right choice in model to go after.

If you fancy a private sale, I would be interested have been looking around for one, as long as its not yellow the only stipulation my wife and daughter have .

Well funny you should say that, I was thinking see how we go with the hatchback then maybe next year look at a monte estate and see how I feel about letting the octavia go but it was hard to write that.

I am sure the right one will come along.Just might take a little longer .

I like the maxidot ,cruise ,rear park sensors, arm rest electric windows front and rear and the alloys. I used to have the use of a works van up until recently but new job and can't use the van after work anymore . We have 4 dogs and my daughter just passed her test so 3 drivers and one car does'nt add up anymore .I was thinking wife and daughter can use the fabia and I will use octavia more often.Had the L&k for 4 yrs and like all the extras it comes with ,if skoda had fabia L&K I would be after one of those .

Thanks for the replies the ones I have seen have been £30 road tax . All sounds good will get back and let you know when we get one .I haven't seen that many on autotrader or ebay take it the 3 is quite well specced looked at 1.4 sport liked the looks but not quite the same kit .
