The temperature Gauge is not working in my Octavia 2001, it stays flat on the left. Is there a simple way to fix this, could it be a loose wire, and if so, where is it located?

I just found this so will give it a try: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/208950-octavia-temp-gauge/

On the petrols the CTS is as described in the thread, but on tdi's it's on the right side of the engine below the fuel tandem pump.

CTS is a very common failure, just make sure you replace with a genuine VAG part or you'll probably be buying twice.
