Have you had it plugged in for diagnostics?

Is it a mk2 or mk3 Octavia? You're probably aware this is a mk3 forum.

As said this is the Mk3 forum, you would be better posting in the Mk2 forum.

Now in the Mk2 section but I wonder if this is a continuation of your previous thread here? If you feel it's better to combine them then please let me know.
