Octavia beahaving badly

Hi,

New to the website so I hope this makes sense to someone out there...

My Octavia 1.6 Ambiente is running like a complete dog. I had this sort of problem last year and I replaced the spark plugs.. This seemed to sort out the issue, Yesterday I replaced the spark plugs again, yet it is still running really bad.

I know I have a slight water leak coming out of the Thermal unit, nothing too bad and the car has never overheated.

The car is near on worthless now so do not want to put it in the garage to rack up a large bill.

Does anyone have any ideas that I could try?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum.

You really need to get VCDS diagnostic done as it could be many things causing the problem. There's bound to be a member near you who can help you out.

Coolant temp sensor, Coilpacks, & MAF sensor are probably the most common failures on VAG cars.

Welcome.

As above, you need to get it scanned, according to the list there is a member in Amesbury, I'll put the link below.

How do I save the settings?

keelbolt · Thursday at 20:411 day

Kodiaq 2026 PHEV I set the lane control to 'Off', set the alert control to 'off', and various other settings that I want. But when I next switch the car on, all my settings are lost and I have to re-set them. This is a complete pain in the ass. How do I save the settings so that they stay set?

1.5 Tsi Power Cutting Out

Missph · 16 February, 20242 yr

Evening, just looking to see if anyone is experiencing the same issue as me with my Karoq 1.5 Tsi (73 plate)…. So the car has perhaps half a dozen times or more cut out completely when slowing down, no stall / kangaroo or otherwise, power simply gone, resulting in me having to restart the car when in a rolling motion. Very unnerving especially with traffic approaching. I’ve tried to recreate the event on quiet roads with no success so I’ve no idea what action causes this. I had thought

Lego pushed between window and door

JamesK · 2 hours ago2 hr

Hello All, So my youngest son decided to push a small flat piece of Lego between the window and door. I can just about see it, but have no idea how to get it out. I’ve not operated the window as I think will drag the Lego inside the door. Any ideas or hacks on how I can remove it without taking the trim off the door? Many thanks!

I confess that all 5 of my previous Kodiaqs were AWD but I only realised recently that AWD is actually a bit of a misnomer. Drive to the rear axle is only engaged when the road surface requires it - mud, very wet road surface etc. The Haldex unit controls this engagement. In normal road conditions the car is driven by the front wheels only thus saving fuel. I accept that I may be in the minority here so I'd love to hear from others who were similarly misguided.

Power steering red light after dashboard disconnection

Alexis33 · 3 hours ago3 hr

Hello, As mentioned in the new user section I recently bought a 2012 Skoda Octavia Combi 2. I had to replace LEDs on the dashboard cluster, because speed, oil temp and fuel needles were not lighting up (one burnt LED on each line). I’ve also decided to replace them with red LED (for fun) and yes, I’ve replaced the resistor to match the current draw. After putting everything back together and reconnecting it to the car, I have one issue, the power steering red light is on… I drove a few mil
