Hi all,

my mums skoda is starting to act up a little, hopefully someone on here will be able tp shed some light

before she starts the engine, the fuel gauge reads correctly, but as soon as the engine is started, the revs and fuel gauge goes to zero and doesnt read

any help would be thanked

Sounds like the common fault with the display console - Do the other dial read i.e. coolant temperature & speedo? Does the clock / trip reset after each key off? Before i jump to conclusions check the keep alive fuse for the dispaly console - fuse 15 i beleive and replace if blown

Now assuming I haven't jumped to conculsions you have several options


1. Live with it! - You can display speed on the climate control if fitted
2. Try removing fuse 15 - keep alive power for the display console - Generally the gauges will work but the clock / trip will reset + the service indiator will no longer work! http://www.briskoda.net/forums/octav...octavia/61077/
3. Replace the console at a dealer - ££££
4. Get a new display console from Ebay - Rare - I'm still looking for the correct one - This will then need matching to the immobiliser which requires Vag Com
5. Get a used display console from Ebay - Rare - As above this will need matching to the immobiliser which requires Vag Com but your milage would be incorrect
6. A possible fix has been suggested by Soviet - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/techn...ble-fix/76004/
