My wife has an 04 Octavia 1.9 TDI, best car she has ever had (her own words) just recently become dificult to start but only when HOT. Any ideas?

Possible starter problem, the ECU needs a certain cranking speed when hot even though it may sound fine. If you have vagcom log the starter speed when cranking and see what speed it is when hot.

Maybe the g40 sensor is faulty. Mine wouln't start when the engine was hot. Replaced under waranty and no problem since.

I have a 2014 diesel octavia estate 1.6 blk edition. Lately, and since service my mpg is alot lower than normal. I understand my car is old but recently ive noticed im using more fuel.

Electric passenger window stuck at bottom
Skoda Fabia Mk1 (1999-2007)

Electric passenger window stuck at bottom

LesCM19 · 20 minutes ago20 min

We were lowering the passenger front window which went all the way to the bottom, accompanied by a horrible clattering. That was it stuck down, any attempts to raise it just produced the rattling. Luckily it was in the middle of a heatwave. Took the door card off and motor but can only lift the window up 2" to try to get to the clamps. There's a cable with a nipple visible loose inside the door by the locking button which is draped over a pulley (see photo, sorry about the socks). Any suggesti

Skoda Karoq 1.5 SE L. - auto locking question

RMH · 1 hour ago1 hr

I recently bought a Skoda 1.5 se l 2024 Reg. I was under the impression that it automatically locks after so many seconds after you have left the car (without having to physically lock it using the key fob). Mine doesn’t seem to do that. So is that feature only available on certain models? Thanks in advance.

Upgrading Infotainment System To Get Android Auto

Deano2004 · 12 January, 20242 yr

Hi All, I have recently inherited a 2015 Skoda Fabia from my late Grandad, at current it has the Bolero (I think) 5Q0035820. I have been told in order to get Android Auto I should upgrade this to the 5Q0035842. To do this is the only thing I need to change the box behind the glovebox or do I need to change the screen as well. Additionally I have found a listing for a 5Q0035842B from a Skoda Octavia, am I correct in thinking this will work in my Fabia.

Bootloop media player
Skoda Superb Mk2 (2008-2015)

Bootloop media player

johgaz · 12 hours ago12 hr

Hi! My media player keeps getting stuck in a bootloop. Before it started every other time i started the car but this last year its started only once. I was suggested to change the harddrive cause they though it was corrupt so i bought a new one but i dont have any software and cant find any place to buy the base software to install and not just updates. Any tips for what to do or if any has the software available.
