hi all,

 

I have finally got my new Octavia mk2  VRS on an 06 plate.

 

Its already going back to the car dealer that I got it from under warrenty as the rear wind screen wiper motor is intermittent, and leaking water like an old kettle !

 

The engine management light has come on twice in the week ive had it ( I used VSCD to put it out the first time )  The fault came up the second time as :

Im assuming the faults probably are :  1. I need a new EVAP canister ( I have cheacked the breather and it looks new and is connected. )  2. I need a new diverter valve.

 

I will let the dealer worry about that though, as I have a 3 month warrenty with it.

 

 

I also have the tyre pressure light come up and I cant get the bloody thing to turn off for love nor money.  Reading about it on here ( Really helpful btw )  Its an ABS monitoring system sensing wheel rotation rather than a bluetooth in the tyre sysem sensing pressure. 

 

Trouble is, I cant get it to turn off ! ( help ! ) .. Ive pressed the button to reset it. tried it while Im stationary, and moving, no joy.  if anyone has any advice then please let me know !

 

 

Lastly I have a stereo question please.

 

I have the Steam system with MP3. with a 6 disc changer in the boot ... I actually quite like the system and think the radio reception is great ! , I would like to know if I could swap the 6 disc changer for a BT system , as I dont like CDs  but really Wanted  BT for my phone .?  If not , would the Bolero system come with BT or is that another module ?

 

Also is there any chance of me adding an AMP on to the current system ...... " its all about the BASS ! "   

 

 

Thanks for your time   :D

I believe you have to have the ignition on, but not running and press and hold the TPMS button until you hear a bong...3 or 4 seconds should do it.

The TPMS light should then go out. If it comes back on after a few miles then there is either something wrong with one of your tyres or perhaps one of the ABS sensors. I gather the slip rings on the hubs rust and deteriorate and eventually fail but you then usually get an ABS fault showing too

As far as I remember, you can reset TPMS system with a car running as well (at least I think I did that) but you have to hold the button for some seconds like said above.

Be sure all tyres are inflated evenly. Otherwise you will get light flashing soon.

Yes I think you are right.

hi ya guys, thanks for the replys.

 

I have managed to reset thetyre light. I had the car parked up .. checking something else and pressed it. .. first  time it didnt work .. but pressed and held it .. and then I got the "BING" sound and all good ! - thanks guys.  thanks for the advice.

 

I also went to the garage, and they arew going to replace the rear windscreen motor. They also said the 2 faults im getting could be a crack/split breather ..?  anyway they said they will fix that too !

 

I have bought so odds bits for the car, LED set for the interior, a replacement gear knob ( the silver bit that has the gear numbers on ) , I have also got a set of Osram nightbreakers for the full beam, and the all important cam follower fore the high pressure fuel pump.

Aftermarket bulbs for the high beam is a good idea... Mine has Xenon for dipped and factory Halogen full currently. 

Yep. I have the same set up. I will see how the night breakers perform. On other cars I've had, they were great.

so Id like to make an update to my post.

 

took the car in the the dealship i got it from, He is gong to replace the rear wiper motor as its fooked.  :clap: 

 

He has looked at the errors and he said his garage cant find anything wrong with it , he says he has checked the pipe work etc cleaned out the diverter vavle and all is fine. he then tried to fob me off and say it could of been chipped !  - ( I said no way, if anything it think its a little under power. )

 

Used VSCD and found the errors were back again, but no light on dash.

 

It difficult to explain, but i think there is an air leak somewhere.

When driving and WOT , if I ease off at mid revs, it seems like the engine carries on, with no engine braking at all, then after a couple of seconds the engine braking seems to cut in. - Ive not driven one of these before, so it could be just me or some skoda wizardy going on.  I also hear a kind of air leak until I press the brake pedal, then it goes away ..... cant beleive it came out of the factory like that !

 

any thoughts guys ..??

pcv valve, have you checked operation?

Cleaned the diverter valve? They don't really get dirty do they? I changed mine a few months ago it appeared to have been on the car for over 50k and had a miniscule amount or oil residue on it. For the sake to £40 quid I would have thought they would have changed it to newer one for you. It's not difficult to do if you end up having a go yourself. I'd it is torn or leaking, it would cause a loss of power as would failing pcv as mentioned above. Again a cheap and really easy fix.

Hi. Thx for your message. .. I don't believe it was dirty either

. they don't suffer from that. Just garage talk I think. For the money, I would of thought they would replace it to. But hey. I might end up changing it and the evap too just for peace of mind.

DV doesnt really need cleaning. If diaphram torn then youll get reduced power and poor response as boost is escaping but for the price of a rev g dv valve and rev r pcv. the rev c dv valve was more prone to tearing but only usually with stage 1 maps and above. just dont fit a rev d dv valve as from experience they arent near as good and car definately suffered when had a rev d fitted put in rev g which is newer version of rev c and all well again. pcv check - try open oil cap a fraction when engine running if it makes the engine run rough then pcv ok if not and engine ok regardless then pcv at fault. not a total test but very good indicator.
