My wife just called me downstairs to look at some strange lights on her dash upon starting her VRS.

The car had been running fine about an hour earlier but now 6 warning lights were showing:-

 

Blown bulb

EPC

Exhaust (Cat)

ABS

Traction control

Tyre Pressure

 

The car is running OK but it sounds as if the AC fan is on, however, all ventilation controls & lights are dead.

Headlights and tail lights (inc. brake lights) are working but not the indicators (if I press the hazard button nothing happens...no clicking noise..same on the stalk).

 

If I were on a computer I'd reset it as looks like a 'blue screen'.

 

I've pulled the main ECU fuse (no.7), no joy...thought about disconnecting the battery but I don't want to lose any stored fault codes (would this cause the fault codes to dissapear?)

 

Any suggestions...or should I just call Skoda assist/my dealer in the morning? :-(

 

She took my boy off to footie in the Octavia VRS...that car has never missed a beat..her VRS has had a few niggles (intermitant cenral locking fault, burnt out heated seat, occasional e.w. glitch).

 

 

I would get skoda assist out. If you cannot drive the car they will tow you to the nearest dealer

Battery disconnect = soft reset.

Leave it off for about 10 minutes.

Fault codes will be stored so don't worry about that.

Thanks...I'll try the reset! :-)
