| Octavia died this morning! Forecast was for snow today so instead of taking the van I took my 4x4 turbo (2001, 1.8t, standard, 47k). 10 miles into the drive the engine died. Driving up a slight hill at 30mph. A splutter for 50mt then just dead. The battery warning light came one when the engine cut out. Won't restart. Turns over but zero ignition. nothing. Engine management light isn't on, jsut the batter light. Electrics are fine, full of juice. Suspect catastrophic electrical/ignition failure of some sort???? Don't say coil packs.... |

| Re: Octavia died this morning! Coil packs perhaps?  Worth checking them but I'm not really up to speed on the petrol cars. Actually just a thought, check out relay 109, not sure if it affects this engine and pop a new one in as this controls power supply to the engine electronics and ECU etc. I take it the aux belt and altenator are ok and that any fuses on top of the battery are also ok? It could be the battery as if voltage fluctuates etc the ECU will get very unhappy and there would not be enough juice to turn the starter but there would probably be enough to power lights run the radio etc. HTH
