Year of Manufacture *: 2007 ( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.9 diesel
Hi
Customer brought car in saying it was locking itself and front windows were going up and down as you drove along. It read internal lock button drivers side fault, wondering did anybody come across same problem.
I have checked wiring harness going through door pillars and saw no problem.Have seen a lot of similar problems with vw range but checked with skoda dealer and they have not met any such problems with the modern Octavia.
Thanks

Hi Check the connectors for loose fitting & water ingress on the front door control units / window motors. Have had a few like this & causes all sorts of wonderfull problems.

Thanks a lot for replies,checked for water in module and all seemed fine. Switch for locking and unlocking doors on console over handbrake was not working so decided to take up console to check switch as i could not get it out from top.
As i moved console i could hear locks tripping as if trying to lock. When i took up console i could see wiring loom was caught between console and handbrake surround and shorting out with 2 wires stripped. Repaired wires and tied back and all seemed fine. Hope this might help someone in future as it was a manufactoring fault and will surely happen to other Octavias.
