Hi,

Long-time browser, first-time poster. I have been using this forum as a very important resource since getting my Skoda 3 years ago. I have had more than my fair share of problems with this car, mostly with water ingress, but these have all been sorted now. While I could be happier with the car, I still love it. I do about 400 miles/week and it is an absolute dinger in terms of power, comfort and efficiency. There isn't many cars with 190,000mls on the clock that can boast that!

But (there's always a but!), I have a new issue that may, or may not, be water-ingress related.I am sincerely hoping not. The windows stopped working 3 nights ago. I can hear the switches in the doors clicking on and off when I use the controls on the driver's door, but they do not operate. I read the manual and they are not protected by fuses, but by automatic circuit breakers. Therefore, rightly or wrongly, I disconnected the battery for a spell, but with no success.

I cannot find any evidence of anyone else experiencing this issue, so I'm hoping that someone on this forum can help me.

Also, some months back the window in the off-side rear door stopped going down, even though I could hear the motor operating. This is a simple fix, that I haven't got around to doing, but maybe the new issue is a complication of this?

Thanks in advance.

Jim.

Hello again.

 

I am still having this issue, and am becoming frustrated by it. I can report that there is no water in the passenger side where the CCM is, but there is gallons of water on the driver's side footwell, both front and rear, that I have to drain off every few days. My suspicion is that the water may be coming in at the ECU housing, but could it also be a deteriorated body weld between the car interior and the engine bay?

 

The water ingress is one thing, but I just cannot get any info on the problem with the windows. As stated previously, I can hear the motor in each door making the circuit when I use the switch, but nothing happens. From the limited information that I have gleaned from the web, my understanding is that the current is going to the motors, but the digital signal that is used to tell the windows that they can open is not being sent. So, if I found water in or around the CCM, I know what the issue would be, but that is not the case.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jim.
