Indicator relay given up?

Sounds exactly the same as happened to my VRS

I just ordered a second hand one on ebay for 11 euros, gonna replace it, its the hazard switch isn't it?

Yep it is that, it's a long horizontal unit which incorporates the hazard switch.

Mine cost €45 new from Skoda.

You'll fit it in five mins. Just use a long flathead screwdriver to prise the unit out, and make sure the connecting wire doesn't disappear down the back it the centre console.

If in doubt just tape it to the vent.

Plug in and replace, job done : )
