Fabia 3 2018 clunking noise from underneath
AG Falco like most of these occurrences difficult to narrow it down precisely but centre rear I would say, exhaust mounts and the obvious things seem ok

Fabia 3 2018 clunking noise from underneath
Hi folks car went into garage for Service and MOT required 2 new tyres and new brake discs and pads all round everything else in excellent condition..since getting it back there's been a clunking noise when going over potholes or bumps.. It's not the suspension/shock absorbers or loose exhaust/mounts as they are in excellent state..difficult one I know but anyone any ideas before I take it back? Just odd that its only started since going in...

ok hope everyone had a good Christmas....Fabia was recovered and taken back to dealer on 21st December...phone call today from dealer saying they have ordered a replacement turbo .....so going to be a wee while longer with New Year before we have it back....have to be honest and say that Arnold Clarks Warranty/Recovery folk have been spot on service wise..

ok Battery is reading 12.28V which is a little low but low enough to cause these warnings folks?

yes thank you I will check the battery with my multimeter just now; have checked the fuel cap and is in good nick and tightly 'clicked' . Concerned about driving it with the warning light(s) however....

ok OBD reader just delivered and it gives me 2 codes as follows : P003A $07e8 and P003A $07e8Pd a quick google says The P003A OBD-II trouble code indicates the Electronic Computer Module (ECM) has detected an issue in the turbocharger or supercharger system, specifically about readings being outside acceptable parameters in regards to the engine's boost. Now looking through old service records in the owner manual folder last June (2020) there was a P334B (Boost Pressure Actuator) fault detected wondering if all this could be connected and that needs revisiting....anyway will be phoning the dealer shortly and Green Flag to recover.....

Thanks all again for replies. Petrol - yes I think the car had been sitting in the dealers for a while before we bought it so maybe old fuel but I topped it up with Shell V Power from a reputable petrol station locally. The car sitting may also I am thinking account for an undercharged battery?? OBD reader arriving today which may or not enlighten me further. EPC light didn't come on when I started it up yesterday but Emissions symbol did and no Auto On Off error message on the screen. Interesting Youtube video whereby a stop start problem was caused by the petrol cap not being 'clicked' enough

Many thanks for the replies all. nta16 its a petrol Fabia SE TSI 999cc...yes we do only do short runs generally and not very often(live out in the wilds of Aberdeenshire) so battery management is definitely something to look at
