Hello All
I’m new on here, I have recently lost my job and with it went my company car, so with that I made the sensible decision to buy a reasonable second hand reliable family car in the Skoda Octavia estate 2016 diesel 1.6.
Im am 4 months in and have been really enjoying the car, seems like a nice little runner and nice and spacious for the kids and dogs.
At the weekend I had to accelerate onto the motorway and the coil symbol started flashing on the dash, then shortly after the start stop function came up with an error also? I didn’t experience any power loss and could drive on as normal. I then parked up Googled the problem - checked brake lights they still worked! Left it for 20mins restarted it and the alert had now gone off. I drove back with no further alerts, the following day also no further alerts. However today I nipped out and it came on again when only mildly accelerating through the gears, I wasn’t 100% sure whether the power was slightly effected in 1st and 2nd gears when moving off, but once I had stopped turned off and restarted the warning light went off again??
I popped a OB2 fault reader in this afternoon to see if that showed me any codes but nothing came up?
so to cut a long story short has anyone experienced this with their Octavia, I really can’t afford a big bill so hoping it’s something minor that can be sorted?
any advice would be welcomed
thanks
