SOURCE: Skoda Octavia Deisel Automatic, starter won't engage
its a VW for any american mechanics reading this and a skoda is now a glorified VW but a very nice car ,now as for this fault then iam at a loss as these cars never go wrong but you havent stated if the starter is clicking and not turning or if the relay is clicking but as this is a auto version it could be the inhibitor switch but without my head under the bonnet or more info i cannot really tell you ,could even be the immobilisor or the electrical switch on the back of the ignition key ,If you cannot find the fault then you can manually overide the starter by making sure vehicle is in park ,turn ignition on the using a piece of wire or a small screwdriver to bridge the fat terminal with the small one this will activate the starter to start it so you can get it to a garage.Now certain year vehicles will immobilise themselves if you change the engine oil as this turns on a sensor that engine is low on oil and this will stop vehicle from starting and only the dealer has the software to release it but if this is your case i know a way around this .
