Oh no, my fears are confirmed! 😮 My dad has a new XJ before discontinued and it is fine but not seen high mileage yet. I heard a few people I know who have BMW or Mini (same company) having electrical gremlins. My car drives the same. Worrying thing is I found from VCDS is when attempting resetting service display in SRI reset it showed a log of events. I not seen this before as I have not used the service reset function of VCDS on this particular car. Amongst inspection date logs and service reminders, one event was 'thermal overload' and another was 'poor oil quality' , the latter event showed a mileage coinciding with the oil change the dealer at Hayselden did. The oil was overfilled and was causing a small leak from the oil filter large seal. Dealer said oil and filter was I changed but I had my doubts. I changed the oil (very black - even for a diesel) and filter was not in evidence of a car with 1000miles since a service. 507.00 5w 30 quantum used. This has happened before on other car at other dealer. Oil filter not bothered changing. The garage gets caught out when last oil change was in Germany using German oil filter. Cheers Any tidbits of info appreciated The main symptom at mo is the infotainment intermittently switching off then on itself. Searched, but there are no replies

4 year old 2016 O3 L@K 2l 150bhp DSG 6speed The car approaching 34k miles. When resetting the Insp on display which was not possible with VCDS on this car. I had to resort toYouTube or guide on here which worked like before. The large dash display seems sluggish to bring up the USB music stick connected for last 2 years (kids songs), SD card and SD Nav . This week the display switches itself off randomly whilst engine on then restarts/reboots showing Skoda logo as per normal. It seems to stabilise as the journey goes on. The VCDS codes are separate issues I think. I have googled them but there is limited info or knowing a location doesn't tell you the fault. Any suggestions appreciated. VCDS errors are... 1. Humidity sensor - 939534 B1281 04 (008) (Anyone know why there is 2 sets of numbers) This one comes up a lot. It might relate to a sensor at top middle of front windscreen? I thought it might detect rain so car can auto close open windows when car locked. My L@K might not have this and I tried pouring water not long after getting the car with no success. It is a grade 4 priority (low?). I had the dealer at Doncaster Hayselden replace the panoramic sunroof seals under warranty which helped somewhat with the leak. This has reoccurred. It appears fine dirt clogs up /restricts the drainage tube. The gutter tray around edge of sunroof then fills up. Particularly bad if car parked on sloped so water trays out one corner only. Remedy - pour some Flash or watery soapy cleaner regularly and wipe gutter of fine dirt with kitchen roll. 2. 28252 coolant pump 3 air in it. P25FA Intermittent not confirmed (presume this means it not happened again?). Recent error. Anyone what pump 3 does? I had a fall in coolant level in warranty and garage said no faults. Topped up and fine since. No work other than oil changes on car 3. 20259 internal control module. P0606 00 (101) processor fault. Tested since. Not confirmed. Coincided with EML coming on then extinguished on startup. Car engine partially warm at time. Google says this relates to the PCM Power train Control Module. Like a ECU computer but for engine and transmission? The repair is a reflash of software or replacement £1000? 4. Other errors relate to remote control battery CR2016 This car eats batteries. I am changing once a year. CR2032 with higher capacity should be used for keyless remote. Any help appreciated! The Fabia 1 vrs I also have is in contrast giving no problems. I guess the O3 is canbus and has more gizmos and more sensors etc

Anyone cleaned their EGR out and want to post a few pics or mention tools needed etc. I had a look around engine bay. It appears at rear middle / nearside of engine bay. One of the hoses is labeled egr. This is 2l diesel 110kw 150bhp engine. A few hoses connected either crimp compression clips or flat screwdriver jubilee compression clips and torx screws. Thanks

Anyone replaced their heat shield clips recently? Sounded like exhaust was falling off, but after prodding around it was a clip that was corroded. Others didn't look too healthy, neither. I have searched and an old thread showed a part number N 903 350 05 Only listing online I could find is for 4 clips and about £15 from US. Dealer is a bit far to travel. Apparently, they cost 20p 8 yrs ago. So, that's alot of inflation to nearly £4 a clip. Are they standard sizes or bespoke to the car model? Thanks

Hi, After bushes were changed I had the alignment tracking done. The steering wheel was slightly out and the car pulled to right slightly. Interestingly a spirit level over tyre of 1.2m length confirmed one wheel was out of alignment Kwik fit have the Hunter machine and offering free alignment at moment, with no obligation to have it done if out. I had it done 3years ago with them The caster is off on near side. After Cupra solid bushes were fitted it is still off. The car pulls slightly to left, despite toe being aligned. Is this caster way out or going to cause issues? I read the difference between left and right wheels should not be more than .30 degrees. It is .36degrees. It was more like 0.5 to 0.6 previously. Caster does not affect tyre wear. Can subframe be adjusted? Will this cause any issues uncorrected? Thanks
