Indicator problem :(

Burnsy · 23-08-2005, 13:10

I had this problem before on my Mk4 Golf Gti T.
When you turn the indictors on some times they will stop then go again.On the Mk4 i replaced the Hazard warning switch and all was fine.
Is this a common problem on the Skoda Octavias ?

Yep, common thing.

You'll find the service receptionists will have a bag of the switches and will change it no questions asked in five minutes

I opened up the relay, cleaned all the contacts and it hasn't given any trouble since

i had this the other day. its more than likely the hazard switch (relay built in). however be careful before buying one... when i took mine to skoda, they replaced it and it was still doing it.. turned out to the be indicator stalk itself.. so before you spend on the relay....
