hi all,

just picked up my first octavia yesterday (x reg tdi 110 ) 200 mile drive home and probably the best 200 miles ive driven in a long time.. best diesel ive ever owned so much better than my old focus (fuel pump died- new car required) the power/ smoothness/ road holding is fantastic!

basic questions-

1) where is the fusebox located (tried searching forum.. couldnt find) i want to remove fuse 17 or is it 15? ( my gauges decide not to work when and as they want.. )

2) ive got a few central locking issues- dosnt work at all the n/s/r door is jammed- not opening from inside and out, im guessing that the two issues may be connected? is there any common faults to look out for with the central locking?

3) passenger front window isnt working- again any common faults to check first?

apart from these small issues its a great looking car, feels really solid and is an absolute joy to drive, might consider one of these ebay economy chips, especialy if they keep taking the p*ss with the cost of fuel? any ideas on these chips?

thanks in advance to anyone who can shed any light on these, steve

Hiya:-

1) Fusebox is inside the RHS of the facia.

2) There's a number of things this could be. Best to post a new entry in the Octy 1 forum, with as much detail as you can manage.

3) As 2.

DO NOT touch the Fleabay resistor mod with a 10 foot pole. A proper generic remap costs about £300; less than that new and all you're getting is a resistor that spoofs the ECU into thinking that the car is always running cold.

cheers good to get the heads up on remap- yeh, makes sense- makes me laugh all the ones that 'promise' 15% increase in fuel economy!.. will post the other questions in tech :yes:

Hi and welcome aboard.

sounds like the central locking on drivers door their the control ones you can get them on ebay 48 quid and sounds like cable snapped on window mine has gone within 3 year warranty and got replaced good luck
