Hi

You'd be best asking this over in the motors section of motoring, but from a tiny bit of experience it could be a wire under the seat that's after being cut or disconnected, so check there first, might need to be soldered back together after that you'd be best off bringing it to a mechanic to get it looked at

Thanks . that's where I thought I had posted it,anyway I've seen very logical replies in this section . Had that problem in a 05 Avensis and it's an underseat wire connection that needs squeezing problem in those,but something is telling me it's a relay in dash problem in Skoda, such as corrosion, just a question of locating it.:)

Yeah it was the same in a corsa a friend of mine owned, no harm in checking! as for the corrosion could it be a fuse or relay perhaps? electrics and so on wouldn't be my area I'm afraid

Thanks anyway,
I won't go at it until Tuesday anyway so maybe some thing will come up. it failed to start a couple of weeks back after doing 50 miles an hour previously, and hasn't failed to start since since so my guess electrical issues are a vw related thing as a friend of mine got shut of a 04 a while back due to similar behind Dash electrical issues.

Have a Passat that shows a warning light now and then. After watching a few videos on You Tube, (mercedessource) have bought a code reader. Cheepo one, just 15 sterling, so look forward to trying it out . could be worth a try.

Thanks for that,I would be a little wary of turning off an airbag warning light though without making sure that airbags are ok first,#a faulty bag could blow up in in your face unexpectly and insurance cover could be void as result if a vehicle electrics check showed up a warning light was switched off , I have been told those checks show up a lot of stuff including power surges where jump starting has occured .in my case its the connections at the safety belt is the problem ,Im waiting to get it sorted

Since you have a thread in right forum I'll close this one.
