Thanks. But as the car's going alright at the moment, albeit with the airbag warning light on, I'll let them call me and hopefully it'll fix this.a

Thanks for the responses so far. I did call Skoda, as suggested, and they advised me that no upgrade has been carried out as they have not got the solution ready. But I would be contacted "soon" to advise me where and when the upgrade would be available. There would be an upgrade as my car was one of the models affected. Whether-or-not this will cure my problem remains to be seen. BTW: One other issue is that the car when driving will rev. up to 5000RPM but in neutral will only rev up to approximately 2500RPM. Hmmm.....

Hi Bertie90 Thanks for the response. No, I don't know if the car has had the emissions software update - Is there any way I can tell? The car was bought off someone who I can no longer get in touch with.

Hi I am new to the forum and am relatively new to Skoda ownership. So, I hope this is the right place to air my problem! I have a 2010 Skoda Fabia 1.6 Estate 105 and up to a few weeks ago, was running fine. But without any waning or noticeable symptoms, the heater/glowplug warning light came on and the engine switched to "Safe Mode" The engine could be stopped and then restarted and the light would be off but the, at about 3500RMP, it would do it again. After a few resets the engine warning light came on. I took it to my local garage (a good place, but not a Skoda specialist) who hooked it up to his computer. This did not give any definitive results but he concluded the the Diesel Particulate Filter may need regeneration as it is mainly used for short journeys. So, I got some gloop from the locals car shop and ran through a tank full of fuel. This did not clear the fault but a few days ago, the enginne warning light went off, the glowplug warning light has stopped coming on and the car was running well. However, for a short while I got a warning the the Key battery was low - this message has also now disappeared and I now am being warned of an Airbag Failure - and the Airbag warning light is now permanently lit. If there's anybody out there who's had a similar experience and found a fix, then I'd love to know what it was. Thanks, AG

Hello All! I've had my Skoda Fabia Estate for just over six months. It's my first Skoda and I am well pleased with it - well I was until a little problem cropped up. Investigating this is what brought me to the forum... I look forward to keeping up with the forum in future and hope that I can find a solution to my problem!
