Have a 2001 Octavia 1.6 - noticed that the temperature gauge runs to the 100 mark then the fan kicks. when this happens guage then falls to 90. fan has been kicking in more often that before. what could be the problem... please help

Well, the fan's working correctly.

Is the coolant level correct?

When was the coolant last changed? It's "long life" which lasts 4 ot 5 years, not "infinite life".

When was the water pump last changed?

First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Superb estate rear door lock

MrSVM1 · 40 minutes ago40 min

I am having problems with the rear offside door lock on our 2018 Super 2.0L SE Technology diesel estate. The drivers door switch panel includes the two child lock buttons. When locking the car the rear offside door remains unlocked, therefore we have to keep it locked via the small turn screw on the edge of the door. Having looked into new lock prices, I decided to try a second hand one from a 'reputable' supplier, only to find that this replacement is doing the same thing. I conclude therefore

Climatronic fan not working - Octavia Mk2 2006

eddie2 · yesterday at 11:391 day

The fan for air conditioning and heater on my 2006 Octavia Mk2 L&K is not working. I have checked the fuses and they are OK. Does it have a relay that might have failed? I am hoping it is not the fan unit itself, as this seems to be peculiar to RHD models with climatronic and was discontinued by Skoda in 2022. (Part no. 1K2 820 021).

Skoda Scala slave cylinder locaton for 1.0 model

rivergo1d · yesterday at 17:171 day

Is the skoda scala slave cylinder concentric and located inside the gearbox for all models, or is it just the 1.5 engine which doesn't have it on the outside of hte gearbox? I'm seeing different reports about whether the gearbox needs to be removed to check or replace it on a 1.0 litre engine.
