Thanks for that. Excuse my ignorance but what does a 'throttle body adaptation' mean ?? Does this involve using the laptop software ? If so, it will be a problem because I do not have it.

Hi, I need a bit of help with my '53 1.4 Fabia. The CEL light is on. I have bought a hand held diagnostic device to discover any fault codes and it has come up with a code which points to the EGR valve being faulty. I have read up on many forums and this seems a popular fault (not just with Skodas). I would like to know where this EGR valve is located. It can apparently get gummed up and not open or close properly. Since new ones cost £100+ I am opting for to try and clean it first. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way the fault code was 16786.

I had similar problems with my '53 octavia. The switch just needed a clean. Make sure the switch is properly installed to test it. The lights will be on constantly if tested out of the bracket because it needs to be twisted into the bracket which aligns the contacts correctly. Shoot the designer !
