Yes i think your right mate, its really undrivable to be honest, 20mpg and clacking big time, its officially off the road till i can find someone local to me in Sheffield. I dont think this guy did the adaption correctly as it didnt rev up like it does on the golfs etc

Hi the car has done 86k, i rung skoda up 4 weeks ago after i bought it and they said only thing outstanding was the emissions update, i should have had it done when there wasnt a problem. I could do a leak off test to determine which is the bad injector. This 2nd hand injector has arrived today but it will cost me £50 just to find out if its a duff one or not 😢

Tried to to a injector adaption last night in vagcom, pressed brake and accelerator down like it wanted and glow light blinked and all i got for over 25 mins was rough idle, it didnt rev up like i was told. Gave up in the end stupid car 😭

Im really stuck now cause ive literally had the car 4 weeks with mot due, it needed 2 track rod ends and had a leaky rack, all that came to £486 week later this injector issue, cant sell it cause of this problem. Maybe i could get the nox update done then they might be under warranty then. After that have it reversed and mapped, im just sick of spending on it, paid 3300 and now 485, and who knows for injector fitted n coded.

Here's my readings, would this imply injector one, any help would be great. Darkside are near me aswell

It will be an injector in its way out, mines doing the exact same mate

Hi my 1.6tdi cayc fabia from when i bought it had a slight knocking when in 2nd gear labouring, i was told to book in with a vagcom specialist and ask for a injector deviation adaption that i did. As he was doing the adaption he said and showed me that my injector 1 reading was way out. But on driving away the clanking is 10 times worse after this process. Why would this happen, it was quite livable before but i dernt drive it now. Noticed this morning in cold start it was well rough. The car is due a nox recall aswell but I've not had it done yet. Ive bought a good injector with the same part number ready to be coded in, but knowing my really bad luck with this car it wont make any difference. Just last week it cost me £486 for the mot. Needed steering rack and other bits, gutted and really fed up☹️

Whats this telling me it says 78% at the top

After spending 20 mins at the dealer he measured the paint and took snaps of the car and stamped up service history. He said its very very hard to get them to honour stuff anymore but it looking like the rubber gasket between the reg plate light has had trapped moisture causing it to rot from the inside. His, my case has to go to skoda uk but also might have to be stripped down for a better look. He said it would probably be a full new boot lid.

Im down there at 330 mate, ive got full service history but the paint schedule hasnt been done since 2015, bet they slide out if it by this

Thank you this will help me tomorrow. Im told they replaced the screwed in type lights for plastic ones to stop this

Yes ive just bought the car and its got 205 50 17s fitted, rides very smooth but speedo is out very slightly, a bonus is its not kerbable very much now cause my red one with the 40s on were awful

Just seen mine today, how did you go on at skoda

Brill ill pop down tomorrow and see what they say

Just to add my last car was a red and black monte carlo tsi , looks better red i think

Ive just bought a 2011 fabia monte carlo 1.6 tdi same engine as yours, luckly i rung skoda and they said mine had never had the recall done and she also said not to bother, apparently it make the mpg rubbish, it regens a lot more, rubbish really but as for remaps im wondering about a egr/dpf delete and a remap for sure

Hi ive just bought a 2011 monte carlo and took the rear reg number off to change my plate over and noticed rust starting, its near the reg plate light and all around where the plate screws on. Anyone else had this
