Hi All,

 

I have recently purchased a 2010 Skoda Octavia 1.9TDi and didn't know when I bought it that the clockspring had been replaced and not coded to the car. So my issue is I don't have the old part to get the code from, is there a list of generic codes that I can use to get it done and all buttons working? I'd prefer not to go to the dealer if I can help it, my local dealer is way to expensive, an example was on my '07 Octavia I needed a new switch on the gearbox to turn the reversing lights on they quoted $600 for the part alone! 

Do you have the means to change the long coding on the unit, VCDS or other?

 

If so then its just a case of going through the options and selecting the relevant byte for each one.

 

If you do not then you have no option but to pay someone to do it.

 

You have not said what problem you have making you want to correctly code the unit, if it is functions not working like steering wheel controls, cruise control etc it's quite likely that the wrong revision unit (a lower spec unit) has been fitted which does not support the function(s).

 

Rosstech have a web page with the various part numbers, suffixes and functionality.

Thanks,

 

The problems have been the buttons on the steering wheel for the trip computer, and cruise control not working, the horn does and the whippers, amongst other things, give an error code all pointing to Clock spring not being coded or so my research would have me believe.

 

Looks like I'll be visiting the Rosstech site and buying VCDS the local Skoda dealer quoted $180/hr and at least 2 hours without the guarantee that they'd be able to do it!
