Thank you so much for that information. Makes me quite angry that the EGR could have failed due to a software fix by Śkoda, as it’s so expensive. I have got a proper part. £400+VAT and 4 hours to fix it. So I now need to roll back the original software to stop this EGR valve from failing also. Śkoda said they would give me anything towards my EGR valve, maybe I should phone them again as I am more informed? I also have a noise under the car now when I go over bumps, putting me off this car🤔 I never expected such expensive problems with. 70,000 miles and Full Skoda service history.

So why do the pre-fix software do? Why do I need to do that? I know remapping can get better fuel and better acceleration, if it helps with the EGR valve I will go and ask.

Thanks for that, how do I get the emissions rolled back? I called Śkoda garage and they said I had the emissions software update in 2017 so the warranty for exhaust system parts lasted 2 years so ran out 2019. Great tip about the filter for the Haldex system I will do that myself next time. Some great information on here, thanks.

I have just phoned VW Garage in Invenress and my car had the emissions update in 2017 so the warranty for some parts in the exhaust system ran out in 2019.

I have never read this on any forum so thanks for mentioning it. The Śkoda garge in Inverness has closed down so will go to the VW Garage.

I will go and check which Śkoda garages serviced it. Bitz garage in Nairn couldn’t fix my Transporter years ago so I go to a friends garage in Inverness. The Haldex oil has been changed I remember seeing it in the book. I am annoyed that such an expensive thing has went wrong with only 70,000 miles. Trying to find ways to prevent this in the future, all garages say is go very fast once a week🤔

I will ask about this thanks.

I have not long got a Skoda Scout 2010 with 70,000 miles and full Śkoda service history, fault with car abs code is P0403. looks like EGR Valve at £400+VAT and 4 hours work😳😳😳 I use the premium fuel and am annoyed!!!!!
