Solved. Took her to a mechanic, he replaced the sensor (tried it myself, couldn't get in there without breaking the dipstick). 50€ to get it sorted. He checked signals and such, too.

Spot on symptoms. My car stalls an awful lot and simultaneously loses RPM signal if it recovers

Attached a screenshot of OBD scan. Disregard P1296 as it is solved (replaced thermostat), it just completely slipped my mind to clear the code(s) last time I scanned.

P0322 Status: Confirmed OBDII: Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor/engine speed (RPM) sensor - no signal Skoda: IC Module 4X Reference CKT No Frequency Does not seem to specify that it is intermittent, but the car does lose RPM signal when the car tries to stall out but recovers I do not know yet, it hasn't even left the store I ordered it from. I will be running VCDS lite though so I assume I can't do data logging

Update - A wild new fault code has appeared! The crankshaft position sensor is faulty. Solved I guess?

To add to this - Also ordered a VCDS compatible cable today. Will update when it arrives.

Update: Since I posted I have replaced the throttle pedal sensor, which made the car drive a lot better but didn't remedy the issue. I tried cleaning the throttle body, which helped for about two days before it started acting up again. So with that in mind, I suspect it may be the throttle body acting up. Which would explain the random stalling.

The thermostat was replaced when I last serviced the car (a month ago). It reaches and maintains 90*C no problem. I'll see if I can lay my hands on a multi-meter.

Thank you for your reply. I did a scan about a week ago when this first started and here is the output: Car Scanner ELM OBD2 DTC report Selected brand: Skoda ============1============== P0037 Raw code: 0037 ECU: OBD-II Status: Confirmed OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1, heater control - circuit low Skoda: HO2S Heater Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2 ============2============== P0141 Raw code: 0141 ECU: OBD-II Status: Confirmed OBDII: Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1, heater control - circuit malfunction Skoda: HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 2 ============3============== P1296 Raw code: 1296 ECU: OBD-II Status: Confirmed OBDII: Multi-faults - Bank 2 - With Low Side Shorts Skoda: Cooling system malfunction

Hello, I've got a pretty annoying issue with my 2003 Octy 4x4 turbo. I'll be driving down the road and the car stalls when sitting at a red light idling. The symptoms that have been common every time it has done it (third time now) is as follows: - Stalls, EPC light and battery light on - Tough to start After starting again: - High idle between 1200rpm and 1500rpm - Low power - won't rev past 4000rpm - EPC light on Also these problems go away after re-starting the car again. The car has been up to temperature every time this has happened. Does not seem to happen in the morning for some reason. Could be dumb luck. I suspect it may be throttle body but I've been researching and I'm getting conflicting answers (such as MAF, throttle pedal assembly, coilpacks, etc). So I figured I'll post another thread for my specific issue. I'll add I have a spare throttle pedal assembly (drive by wire) that I can toss in. No access to VCDS at the time of writing this. I have a generic ELM327 scan tool. Suggestions, insights and solutions are much appreciated.

Hello! I've lurked here for the past six months while researching issues with my Octavia. I figured I'd finally create an account to join in on the discussions, ask questions, learn and hopefully make friends. I live in Sweden and I've got a keen interest in cars, programming and technology and I absolutely love talking about all of it. I currently drive a Mk1 Octavia 4x4 estate and it's an absolute blast to drive! I was initially skeptical on Skodas because they didn't particularly stand out to me at first glance, but since getting one of my own it has exceeded all of my expectations, and I keep finding reasons to absolutely adore Skodas in general. I would go on about my car all day, but I think that'd be a tad excessive for an introductory post :p I'll see yous around.
