So looking at the VCDS scan below, does anyone else think it slightly odd that as well as this glowplug issue the car seems to idle rough?

I'm wondering is the glowplug and the injector loom all the same loom as if so, would this point towards the wiring loom being the issue rather than a plug.

Anyone any thoughts?

As for the cruise control stalk, most annoying.

I'm guessing nobody knows if they are separate looms then?

I'm guessing nobody knows if they are separate looms then?

I know this is a old thread but just came to it and thought I have seen something about this. recently I had the Inlet Manifold problem and was searching to see if I could find out anything about the wiring I ended up finding loads of diagrams of wiring and looms at https://www.partsbase.org/skoda/octavia-oct-eu/

The database is a bit hard to navigate I used my model and engine code While I was searching there were loads of diagrams of various looms etc which might well be useful in answering this question for anyone who still needs to know.
