Sorry. The video (that has the same flashing lights) he fixes some wires at the MAP sensor which is underneath. The sensor I thought was the problem is this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-Exhaust-Pressure-Sensor-Fits-Skoda-Fabia-Mk2-1-6-TDI-UK-Stock-/183963107916?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 but I can’t locate it in the engine bay. I’ve taken the plastic but off the top of the engine and still can’t tell where it is.

Based on the handbook I'm not supposed to drive the car for long now that the light has come on (even though it's not in limp mode) The DPF light hasn't come on so should I try giving it a long drive to burn it off and reset the code or is there another way to clean out the filter first if I can get the car on a ramp?

I know that, but based on a previous post from 2013 A new sensor is what's solved the issue. I can get one and try it with little pain if that'll solve it. With the car 9 years old I was hoping to see if anyone else that had a similar issue before might have remembered what their solution was?

Hey all I've got a Fabia MK2 Monte Carlo 2012 1.6 Diesel Just passed 77777 miles, passed it's MOT in January and had a service last month. Had the flashing glow plugs whilst driving and then eventually the exhaust light came on (and is now on permanently) I've got a cheapo diagnostic OBD tool and got the P242B code. The car has NOT gone into limp mode and is driving fine as far as can tell (though I'm not doing any long journeys currently) I'm wondering if this is just a case of replacing the exhaust pressure sensor? (I've seen that it's located underneath the car near the radiator based off a YouTube vid) I've seen you can get one off eBay for fairly cheap or is this meaning there is something seriously wrong with the car? The fact that it's driving fine and passed its MOT makes me hope it's just the sensor going duff. The only other thing is that I've never really took the car for a long drive after the DPF light comes on (the light clears itself even after a short drive and I know it won't be long enough to clean the filter) I've seen a similar post on here but it was from years ago with a car that wasn't as old so wondering if anyone else can give an opinion or other things I can look into? Thanks for you help.

Sorry to drag up a really old post but I’ve just got this exhaust/engine light and the flashing coil light. Will simply replacing the sensor sort it? I can get it for less than £30 on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392650784514

Annoying in a chuck the whole car in the bin kinda annoying? :-) or it's going to break soon kinda annoying?

Fabia MkII Monte Carlo 2012 diesel 1.6 Had my Fabia for just over a year now and over that time an oil patch has gradually appeared on the road and I’ve been too stupid/lazy to do anything about it but the car is running fine and the oil level looks good every time I’ve checked it. I need to get it serviced anyway and get the problem checked but anyone else had a similar issue and what was the problem? I’ve added a photo from underneath the engine, taken from underneath passenger side if that helps. I’m hoping it’s something simple as a replacement gasket. As a separate and less serious problem, my light bulb failure light has come on. (Comes on after a few minutes of driving) This coincides with the indicators flashing quicker than normal but when I check all the bulbs are fine and flashing at the correct speed. I’ve checked all my bulbs including headlamps, side lights, indicators, DLR, fogs, brakes and even the bulbs for the reg plate and they are all fine. Have I got some dodgy connection? Anyone else had this issue? I’ve recently changed my headlamps but using H7 Halogen like it says, they’re Osram Night Breaker which are more powerful than the old ones but didn’t think that would cause an issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
