All sorted. Just swapped it for the passenger one. Thanks for the replies

many thanks, Ken will have a look this evening.

anyone used a reliable reputable company to remap their Tdi ? there was a company on ebay who advertised the service for £150 but i was jubious as they were not recommended.

has anyone ever had the lumbar support break on them? mine did last friday and will be having a look at repairing it this friday after work just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and what they did to repair it ?? Neil

you have a pm mark

Do you have a pic you could post of this please and the parts used ?

Mine has decided to give up the ghost and the boot mount was damaged when I purchased the car, does anyone have a spare they would be willing to sell? I can collect if it not too far but will be willing to pay for postage. Neil

All sorted it needed to be decoded, it does not auto sync with the ECU but the code is required to manually unlock the stereo. Thanks for the help and advice people, much appreciated. Neil

Its the stereo that came with the car so I assume it is. Will try after work. Thanks for all your help.

I dont think mine has this as I can start the car with the radio off and then turn the radio on after a few minutes and it still displays safe on the radio.

Ok thanks I will enquire.

Can anyone advise me of the best and easiest way to obtain the code?

In not on about the belt. Take a look at the a/c pump pulley for signs that the bearing inside could be shot like noisy or graunchy when you turn it or it could be tight or really loose?. Mine was and squeeked very similarly to yours. Because its on the aux belt it is governed by engine speed so will sound worse the faster you go until it seizes or falls off lol

the squeek/noise is engine speed related, check the a/c pump pulley as the bearing went in mine and made a similar noise, i have a mk1 octavia tdi and could easily remove the tension from tensioner pulley to remove the aux belt, then check the a/c pump pulley. if not then it will probably be a bearing/pulley of some sort.

so am i right in thinking that mine uses direct injection from the pump to each of the cylinders, whereas the my partners golf is more of a commonrail set up ? Thanks for the reply Trundlenut

Hello all im kind of new here and would appreciate any help/advice. I have had my Octavia for a year now and although it is a great car and economical id like a few more horses. Im not looking for massive power just a little more, since my partner has just got a golf 130 tdi and it drives much better. How could i do this without spending massive amounts of money and without changing too much? I was told taking the N75 valve from a higher BHP car will improve performace ? Can i simply take the valve from a golf 115 or 130 ? or similar without having to get a remap etc ? Neil

The batteries are brand new in both key fob's.

The red light illuminates when the button is pressed, but nothing and I mean absolutely nothing happens when I try to programme the key fob..

Tried but nothing worked....think this will be a trip to the stealership....

Evening all, I hope someone can help me as I have searched the forum and found 3 different guides but nothing works. I have 2 keys for my car, they both open the doors manually and start the engine but only one unlocks the doors remotely. I have tried the main key in the ignition ON position, locked the car manually using the key to be programmed but when I press the unlock button I don't get a beep from the horn, I have even tried it with the key that does work and there is still no sound from the horn. I am now lost as to what to do because I dont really want to go to the stealership. If anyone has any information it will be greatly appreciated.

Excellent item, i will be getting one of those

Thanks for all the helpfull replies guys, filled the fuel filter to the top, with a freshly charged battery it took 10seconds and she fired into life..

My car Is a 2002 1.9 8v tdi 90bhp, hope this helps. Thanks for your replies so far. I believe this is old style engine.

After fitting the new filter I did not fill with diesel and so it would not start, after searching on here I found a thread about filling the new filter with fuel, I have done this but my car still will not start, I can see fuel traveling through the clear hose, it splutters but wont fire up, now the battery is flat so I've put it on charge and will try again tomorrow evening. Does anyone have any tips? Also I'm a little worried about the fuel pump running dry and going completely wrong, I have not been continually cranking it over just for a couple of seconds each time... Any help is greatly appreciated Neil
