I'm not sure if I'm honest best keep researching and see if you can draw anymore clues. I don't want to lead you down the garden path

In my opinion it would be easier to do a straight swap with the cluster, however it may be a wiring issue. I'm having an issue with my rev counter that I keep putting off but I fully intend on a swap rather than a repair

Hi pal I have a similar issues with the seats. I believe a Seat Leon seat if similar age can be used as a straight swap. @Breezy_Petedo you have any suggestions on this at all?

I ended up chucking the ariel along with the base. It's was rotten at the threads hence the poor reception I was getting. New base and new ariel and it now sounds buttery smooth!

Mines the same. I have just ordered a new antenna base to see if it rectifies it

Definitely not tyres. They get checked every 2 weeks I'm pretty particular about that

@Breezy_PeteJust one thing extra. I've noticed I'm getting about 40/50 miles less out of a full tank. Could this be related at all?

Lovely I will have a look at that when I get chance. Thank you as always pal

Engine is definitely not running slowly at all. Just been out in it now. Whether the fault occurs or not the engine is fine. Could it just be the instrumental cluster being faulty?

No lights on at all, which is why I think it may be the pedal itself especially with it still being able to get up to speed and it only trigger when I'm pulling at slow speeds. Traffic etc

Morning guys hope you've all had a pleasant Christmas. I have noticed a niggly issue where my rev counter reads incredibly low. It seems to trigger when I am in slow moving traffic. I am not losing any power and I am fairly sure that the Throttle Pedal Sensor is just playing up. The engine doesn't seem to be labouring at all when I drive or sit idle. Am I looking in the right direction or is there something else I should be looking out for?

Yes they have worked in the past. What I have noticed is it points a little further down then the icon on the wheel if that makes sense

I have it was fuse 11 based on this guide I found when searching the fuse box with the code on the covering panel https://car-box.info/skoda/fabia/5j-2007-2015.html

I know the Mk2 are known for this. What's the best way out going around to diagnosing?

Evening all My wing mirrors aren't heating so I have swapped them for new ones assuming the elements have burnt but that doesn't seem to have worked. I am dubious it is the fuse as it is the same as the fuse for adjusting them and that is working fine. Can anyone shed any further light? Thanks

Interesting development this evening. To clarify for those following it has a BMS engine not BNV The car has been stagnant for a week now. I collected it from my father in laws for the 5 min journey home. I screamed its head off in 2nd gear and the it smelt awful. This was followed a large ploom of blue smoke. Still went into limp intermittently a couple times but I continued to push the revs, car continued to stink. I then had 15 minutes uninterrupted driving for the first time in a month. Tonight I'm going to push it on the motorway to see if it finally clears once and for all!

Will PM it across now

I'm 99% certain it does have a DPF. There is a light that comes on indicating there is DPF which, hasn't come on in some time. From what I've been reading following this comment the BNV does has DPF on some models. What was curious though is that when my mechanic tried to force a regen using his snapon diagnostic it didn't give him the option. Mechanic has replaced the lambda and the egt not me

What is your suggestion? My engine code is BNV if that makes a difference?

It's was the brown G235 I believe Edit: car is now reading p0132 and p0473

I replaced the EGT sensor and its didn't make an iota of difference. Car is still in and out of limp mode. Genuine VW part too, not aftermarket OEM

Where is the EGT sensor located?

When you say EGT sensor do you mean the lambda sensor or is this a different component?

Thank anyway pal I'm not convinced it's the DPF at this point. I too am going around in circles with this. I just hope this isn't a death sentence for it

I've had 2 diffident readers in that flag the same issue. When the code is cleared and I start driving again the issue returns like its never been away
