Hello all, looking for some help/advice with my 68 plate Sportline +.
A few weeks ago, my Engine Management Light came on. The car drove fine, no reduction in power/torque/MPG and there felt normal. It was due a service anyway, so I got it booked in for the light to be inspected and a service/MOT. Whilst waiting for it to go into the garage, I noticed in the mornings that it would maybe take a second or two longer to start, with it sounding like it was struggling to start but eventually it kicked into life.
It went into the garage for all the bits and bobs, and they ran a diagnostics which brought back the following codes -
P008700 - Fuel Rail System Pressure Too Low
P17D800 - Torque reduction caused by clutch temperature
P068400- Glow time control unit 1 implausible signal
P20EE00 - NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1
U140000 - Reduction function voltage too high
B147918 - Remote Key 1 voltage too low
B147A18 - Remote Key 2 voltage too low
B14B18 - Remote Key 3 voltage too low
B122B13 - Central Locking motors, open circuit
I spoke with the garage who advised they thought the issue may have been the fuel filter as it was knackered and had reset all the codes, road tested the car and all was good. It then went onto pass it's MOT and the EML stayed off.
A few days ago it came back on, again with no change in cars performance that was noticeable to me. Whilst we had temperatures of -10 where I live, the car stayed on the drive way for 3 days and foolishly, I didn't start it or take it a short run. On the 4th day, I went to start it and it just wouldn't start, completely dead. Message came up on the dash saying the battery was low, so had to get the RAC out.
When the RAC arrived, they carried out their own diagnostics which showed -
P068400 - Glow time control unit 1 implausible signal
P003000 - Lambda sensor bank 1 , lambda sensor heating open circuit
The RAC patrol man suggested that the battery may be needing replaced as the battery testing rating was 350EN of a 700EN rated battery,
Just wondered if anyone has had any of these similar issues? I live quite rural so will be the New Year before I get the car back to a garage although I think I will be wanting to go to a Skoda specialist as I am concerned at how many faults have came up. Anyone able to give a breakdown of the faults and advise what they actually mean? I am not technical at all when it comes to cars.
Cheers
