Hello fellow Skoda enthusiasts,
I own a 2019 Skoda Octavia 1.0 TSI, and I've been enjoying smooth rides until last Saturday. While accelerating on the highway, my engine suddenly began to misfire repeatedly, which caught me off guard. When I eased off the gas pedal, the misfire stopped. If I provoked the engine by accelerating further, the engine started to misfire again and the Check Engine light started flashing. Surprisingly, the light went off after about a minute if I released the pressure on the gas pedal. It's as if the car prefers driving "with an egg between the foot and the pedal."
I've continued to use the car, but unfortunately, the problem is getting worse. Now, I can't reach normal highway speeds in Sweden (110 km/h) without the engine starting to misfire, no matter how cautiously I drive. I've tried to diagnose the issue by checking for error codes with my non-VAG OBD2 scanner, but to my surprise, there were no error codes reported.
I'm reaching out to this community in the hope that someone has encountered a similar problem or might have some clues about the possible root causes. Your expertise and insights would be greatly appreciated in helping me resolve this frustrating issue.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and valuable input!
