    what year is it as you may be able to find a replacement cheaper than to repair it but bear in mind the repaired unit will have a guarantee

    Default Repair Manual for Octavoa Dashboard/Instrument Cluster

    I had exactly the same problem with my Octavia.

    I found a Repair Manual on EBAY and it works!!!

    There are 7 cold solder joints to fix.
    Maybe it's already on EBAY. Look for Repair Manual Octavia or so.

    definetly drugs mate, if you notice, the file uploaded by justy is a PDF the same as the link i gave

    the link you posted on the otherhand is a M/soft Word document in polish

    So im afraid my post is still valid

    a) Why is this thread so old!
    b) Justy22, speedo head, milage





    c) Ok the other link is in Polish, but at least the milage won't need
    'correcting' afterwards

    Sorry, you will have to speak to Justy22 as he holds over 50 Differant WorldWide Patents for jumpleads that put milage on.

    There would be a nasty legal case if we disscused things like that whilst Justy22 is a member.

    BUT even if he left DK (hopefully not) when ever he goes into PremiarD 's
    workshop at the back of the 'Allo 'Allo Cafe he will see it on PremiarD's computer screen (He seems to be on line 24/7)

    The repair manual posted by justy22 is going to save a lot of worried octavia drivers a lot of cash, well done first class post.
