Hi there. 

Octavia Mk 2 recently failed MOT due to airbag fault and horn not working.

I've replaced the clock spring, the horn now works but I'm still stuck with the airbag light and now "Button for driver assist sys. faulty"

 

I've stripped everything back down and checked all connectors are fitted properly, not loose or anything but still no further forward. Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi, welcome.

you might be better looking and /or asking in the Octavia Mk 2 forum. - Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013) - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/28-skoda-octavia-mk-ii-2004-2013/

 

Quick thoughts, not for answering just thoughts, -

did you clear the airbag light with a VW appropriate scan tool that has the facility and program for your model and age fully updated before use with both the scan tool and car batteries not in a low state of charge.

 

Did you check all connectors for any signs of crud and corrosion and clean as required and also check all wires for corrosion and that the wires were all fully secured and protected (not chaffing) all the way back to their report and/or end points.  Presumably you've check the button and clean and lubricated as require and checked connector(s) and it's wires all fully secured and protected (not chaffing) all the way back to its report/end point(s).

 

Good luck.

 

Got it sorted. Everywhere I read said it didn't need coding in, garage as well. But when I explained it was the whole clock spring unit replaced, not just the ribbon, he had me in and sorted that day
