Hi Thanks for the replies guys. Skoda have had a look and basically said the engine is dead. Apparently "a pipe" has come loose and gone through the engine. Their words not mine. Because it was 100 miles over the service interval they've said it's not covered by any manufacturer guarantee. So I'm now looking for a buyer for a engineless fabia. Mark

Hi bigjohn Thanks for the reply. On speaking to the missus she does say the dpf light has been on previously but wasn't at the time. She does do more short journeys now than when we bought the car. I'll smell the oil and see if it does smell of diesel. Cheers Mark

Apologies for the lack of detail but my wife was driving and she's even less mechanically minded than I am.

Hi Had a major engine fault today. Car is a 1.6 tdi (105) fabia, 43k, FSSH. No previous issues with the car but today while driving on the motorway the engine surged after taking foot of the gas and then the engine just died. The AA mechanic has looked at the engine and has said it'll have to go back to the dealer, but that it might have been overfilled with oil. All the services have been done by our main dealer. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar or has any advice on what position we should take with the dealer. I have a horrible feeling it's going to be expensive. Cheers Mark
