Hey thanks for your response. When I last had a look at the error codes it was showing crankshaft and something else I can't remember, a friend did say the codes together indicated electrical issues. I did wiggle connections but will have another go. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to the issue, it's completely random. I haven't checked electrical connections, wires or strip fuses etc. as you advise so will do that next. Thanks for your help.

Hi, looking for some help with an ongoing issue I'm having with my Skoda Fabia Mk2 (2007) if anyone can help please. My car has good days and bad days - sometimes it's absolutely fine with no problems. Other times I will turn the engine on and within a few seconds it will cut out, the car will just turn itself off and the battery light comes on until I restart the car. Sometimes it will be fine once I've restarted it, other times it will take 5-10 cycles of me turning it on and off before the problem stops. I've put a new battery in since this started happening but that didn't fix the issue, so I got a new alternator fitted but the issue still remains. I've also had the glow plugs replaced. Another issue that has coincided with this one is that the glow plug light often appears flashing on and off, along with the engine management light. These lights come and go at the same time as one another. This problem is intermittent and usually lasts for a couple of days, then I will get in the car later on and the lights have just disappeared again which makes absolutely no sense to me 😬 I have tested the battery, alternator and all other relevant points with my multimeter and everything is reading fine so I don't think wiring is the problem (at least on the surface) so I'm really confused as to what could be causing this issue. Mechanics have not yet diagnosed the problem correctly so I would like to see if anyone here has any better suggestions and hopefully I can look to fix the issue myself rather than spending even more money! Thanks for your help 🙏🏼
