Not only did my reader not show any stored codes but neither did the Skoda all singing and all dancing diagnostic machine The only code I have got was PP2309" IGNITION COIL D PRIMARY CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW" when I scanned with the engine light on. If I scanned again that code would not be there as when I turn off the engine it clears the codes apparently. Skoda said that to be able to diagnose a problem on my car the engine light needs to be on so they can connect up. If there is no engine light on then any codes would have been reset when I turn off the engine I don't understand why when the engine is turned off it clears codes

I could give it a try, Although I picked up a code with my reader that will have disappeared as all codes do when I turn off the engine and nothing appears again until the engine light comes on. and I can rescan

It had a new battery between the first time and 2nd time i had the problem alternator checked

No point really, Because I would have to wait for the engine light to come on so I can scan it to see if the message changed. It doesn't shake the car every day only happens every couple of weeks and the car is going into the garage on the 20th. You would think it would happen every time I start the car especially if there was a misfire

Can anyone confirm that ignition coil D is cylinder 4 Skoda Fabia 1.2 2016

By the way 7E9 Transmisson says no codes stored

She can take the odd shock, and she is glamorous She can use metal grip pliers

Apparently with this car I have been told that when you switch the engine off it clears the codes, that's why Skoda couldn't diagnose any faults as there were no codes they told me to only bring it in when the engine management light is on. On Sunday when I have the car all day l will get the wife to wiggle the connector to coil 4 see if anything happens

I have used the garage for years just changed to Skoda when i bought a better car. As I said earlier if they cannot diagnose any faults I will get them to change the spark plug and coil pack

My usual garage has a scanner which cost £25,000 I just hope Something comes up

As I said earlier I am taking it to my go to garage. I don't imagine they will get any codes as it resets every time you turn the car off. I will get them to change the plug and the coil pack. What about the lead?

Because the time between the fault is at least 4 weeks. they wouldn't take it for drives everyday like we do. I am just amazed they cannot diagnose the fault

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion of swapping the coils, it only happens every month or so and it is going to the garage on the 20th, but probably won't hurt It happened again before the garage. Do you know of a picture of where the coils are?

Online it is coil pack 4 also mentions short to ground could that be a wire or the pack it's self?

Just thinking if it was a misfire wouldn't it say on the info for the code misfire cylinder D (4)? I cannot swap the coils as it only happens every couple of weeks not every day.

Thanks for that, but tj=his is an intermittent fault. It happened first on October 1st and then again on October 28th. Apparently with this car when you turn off the engine it resets and wipes any code until it appears later down the line. This is happening every 4 or 5 weeks not every day.

The saga continues. This problem has happened twice while my wife was driving over the last couple of months at this point ignore the photo's. Both time Skoda could not find a problem on their Supa Dupa diagnostic machine. They told me to monitor it. Anyway this morning I start up the car and the EPC stayed on (photo 1) and it started to shudder (coil I thought to me self). Anyway I went into vehicle status and it said (photo 2) Error stop start system. I tried to press the button underneath for info but nothing opened. Just at the time the engine management light (photo 3 ) came on. Then the EPC light went out but the engine management light stayed on. Great I thought I can now attach my reader This is what it brought up (photo 4) 2 codes found although only one showed up. I pressed the enter button and this popped up (photo 5). I then pressed enter for the top message 7E8 Engine and this error showed up (photo 6) I turned the engine off to stop it vibrating and when I turned it back on again both the EPC and engine management lights stayed off. I went straight to the Skoda dealer who told me that they could only scan it when the engine management light was on and that the code meant nothing as it could be one of many things. This happens about every 6 weeks and they wanted me to leave the vehicle with them to see if the fault occurs while they have it. I declined as I need the car so I booked it in at the garage I usually use. Any Thoughts please.

I know what you meant

I will ask how to escalate. The Technician's name is the same on both inspections. Because they were only 4 weeks apart he assumed they were still the same. His Mistake

No nothing. They are calling me today hopefully regarding the Technician falsifying the Inspection report. It has been passed onto their After Care Manager. I will speak to him about this.

Remind me please

So It is better just to turn off at the A button?

In all seriousness, would any of you disconnect from the battery or use the A button. They seem the same to me

That's the mk2, they only have the mk1
