Hello, I once found this on the HonnestJohn Skoda Octavia review:

 

Four speed rotary switch for ventilation fan has problems running only on full speed. A resistor component that connects into to the fan circuit fails. As well as replacing the resistor, a repair also needs to be made to part of a wiring loom and costs £200 - £250. May or may not be the same chafed cable problem above.

 

 

You can check it here, in the eleventh row: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/skoda/octavia-2004/?section=good

One Octavia that I saw when I was looking to buy a car had this.

 

Gonçalo. 

thanks for the help big time...just theres nothing that says where the wires chafted ...gutted

How easy would this be to fix myself? I've got the same problem

What parts would I need?
