Any update to latest post? Will these parts fit for Sportline seat?( bugging me)

Thank you for this valuable feedback. I plan to open one of the EGR/ intake pipes, to able to look into the condition of the carbon deposits.

Hi, Last year, second-hand Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI [manufacturing year 2022, 200PS(EA288, DTUA)] was purchased to our family. Car has full service history and milage is now 110'000km. Can you please share your experience, when this specific engine might need carbon clean up**? I would like to invest time and money, before the symptoms start to appear. Does it make sense to disconnect EGR pipe and check its condition? Or milage is evident, that carbon cleaning shall be done. **- my family second car is VW Passat 2.0 TDI(EA189, 130KW). No ad-blue system, no turning flaps for this engine. Opening up intake- manifold , after 100'000km, showed remarkable carbon build up already- which I properly managed to clean. Thanks in advance, Olari.

Thanks NTA16 for your response. In my specific case Carcanner ELM locked the ECM communication???, when I performed DTC clear command ( First time when something like this has happened). Positive thing happened in 24h later, when CEL disappeared in dashboard. ECM unlocked itself, after period of time? //Olari

Hello Skoda owners, 2 times I have received exhaust flap wrong position error during cold days. Did proper maintenance on this, and re-installed the flap motor underneath of my car. Then connected CarScanner ELM , wanted to delete DTC-s and perform the flap adaptation procedure. Erase DTC-s Command was send and some minutes later received: U0100 error- Data bus, engine control module(ECM) A- no communication. Check Engine Light(CEL) is now on, car starts normally and drives without noticeable problems. What I have tried so far, to remove CEL: 1) Battery was fully charged, before connecting CarScanner. 2) Performed 10 min battery disconnect , CEL is still on. 3) Performed 4 km test drive, CEL is still on. 4) Checked the fuses in both fuse boxes, Fuses were OK. 4) Some ECU-s I can still connect with CarScanner, understanding that CAN network is still OK. Any ideas how to diagnose further more? More hands-on tests to try on in similar cases? Thanks in advance, Olari

OK, finally found what was needed-- TOPRAN 120 165. Case CLOSED. Topic can be CLOSED! //Olari

Hi, I am doing doing Haldex service after every 30 000km for 2021 Kodiaq-> changing oil and would like to clean pump filter from debris. Every time when I open pump ,I used to change pump 2 rubber sealing as well. In 2025, I see that Vaico consumable kit has reached to unreasonable price 45 EUR. I basically need only 2 rubber seals from that kit. https://www.autodoc.parts/vaico/16630572 ASK: Skoda owners , do you happen to know part number for Haldex pump rubber seal only? Or better priced maintenance kit which, which makes this DYI job more price efficient? Thanks in advance, Olari
