Skoda Octavia - engine not turning off

[joebloggs]

Joe, when you mean scuttle holes, is that the drain points under the bonnet around the bottom of the windscreen area (back of engine bay)?


I'm wondering if it's worth leaving it a couple of days before taking it to the garage.  Give it a good run when I get back from work this evening to get some warmth under the bonnet.


Am worried if I take it back to the garage they will spend ages tracing something they can't find and I'll get a big bill and nothing to show for it.

Yes. It can cause issues if they've bolted electrics to the bulkhead or like my eunos in the footwall. Worth keeping it leaf free either way.

+1 on the taking it for a good run option. Brother had an Astra with a cutting out fault. Cost several hundred £ to find foc all
