Skoda Octavia - Issues

Recommended Posts

Hiya All

 

Would anyone in the House working with Skoda cars provide me some pointers on several issues that have surfaced in the last week please - broadly as follows:

 

1. Climatronic display - no lights or reaction, working the day before. Fuse checked and ok?

2. Fuel indicator rising/falling even though some fuel (ok not half a tank) in it and fuel light reminder (yellow) cycling every few minutes?

3. Speedo clock working at start of day and then stopped and dropped to zero. Left work and working then stopped for remainder of 13mil journey? Rev counter working fine.

 

Probably not related but thermostat being changed tomorrow as been erratic recently.

 

It is a 51reg., Elegance, serviced as per schedule by local non-dealer, genuine replacement parts when needed (rarely).

 

Happy to revert to PMs/mobile device to reduce cluttering up the Forum.

 

Many thanks.

Rupert - thanks for the heads-up - will check the battery to rule it out.

Do an alternator check as well mate ,if some of your display lights /items are playing up the alternator charge warning light may be a bit dodgy as well .

Hi Fellahs

 

Thank you for all your suggestions - noted and will follow each one through - as cheaper that a replacement clock panel.

 

Briskoda Forum suggests failing/failed electronic components in the instrument panel.....................................but not necessarily permanant.....so other suggestions also welcome!

 

Cheers, L

Hello All

 

Thank you for continuing suggestions -

  • thermostat changed today so that is ticked. Waterpump ok.
  • a blown fuse found (sunroof/multi-indicator, something), replaced and blown again. Sunroof works as does the stalk....
  • reversing lights working.
  • battery test said on last legs - will replace Friday to eliminate this.

She has been a good girl otherwise so (like an older sofa) difficult to put out..........

 

Thanks again to all - really appreciated.

Hi

 

To conclude:

 

Battery change corrected intermitant speedo issue.

Blown/blowing fuse related to engine oil level sensor - also affected Climatronic. Replacing fuse set it smoking from the harness plug to the sensor!

Replaced sensor and spliced in a new plug to wiring harness (surprisingly this was off the shelf so Skoda must know its a problem?) and all working.

 

Thanks to all for suggestions.
