Having got Very Confused online, I finally took the battery out so I could see how the dipped blub is removed. TWIST! Then on my diesel I go over to the offside and stick my hand down the side of the fuel filter hosing into a space nearly smaller than my hand. After a bit the bulb housing twisted and then out! Then on a very short wire I bring the housing to the front of the fuel filter and stick a screwdriver in behind the bulb, finally that came out. Then to stick the new bulb into the housing and to stuff it back in the headlight and twist it back in. That was a week of head scratching (and hurty hands!). Some videos show a clip, some that it twists. Mine certainly twists.

Ah thanks, yes, these are good thoughts. The EGR valve certainly comes up a lot pertaining to this fault. I do keep wondering, bearing in mind the car has had 3 new injectors, if the final one might be wonky. The garages here like to overdo it "ooh your turbos gone" etc. Currently we're super skint from having our old L200 fail the MOT and rushing out to buy the Skoda and having to fi it straight away, but I'll either think of a code reader or go to another garage I know and offer up the three possibilities you mention when we have some money again. The Skoda is making 700/800 miles a tank, which is pretty good for a car with a fault! Other than struggling with hills its a pretty good runner and along flat roads you'd barely know it has any issues.

On another forum someone suggested the EGR valve There is another garage around here, I'll see if he'll do some diagnosing for me.

Garage lost the diagnostic.

Yes the screws were badly rusted and the filter was bad with leaves in it. Unfortulately it has made no difference to the power issue. Tommorrow I will goto the garage to see if they still have the diagnostic they did.

I changed the air filter and checked the MAF sensor. I expect the local garage don't have the diagnostic. I'll get in touch with another garage monday and see if I can get it checked over.

TBH I'm very keen to mechanic it myself. I have asked the garage for the diagnostic. I asked on another forum and they say that it could be MAF sensor related. Someone had a go at changing the airfilter and failed as the screws are rusty. I shall change the air filter and check the MAF sensor.

60 miles to Portree, same as Inverness. I shall have a look for some more local garages.

Half an hour from Kyle

The Highlands of Scotland. The "city" 60 miles away is Inverness.

My local garage have washed their hands of the car. I was hoping to narrow down the possible issue and then go to another garage a bit further away. Where I live it's miles to anything, 60 miles to the nearest "city". The only thing the garage said was that the MIL sensor was "flagging an error" but they changed the sensor, it made on difference, so they put the old sensor back on. They appeared not to know what the error was.

Hi there, the RPM issue is while driving, all gears. Unfortunately the garage kept the error codes to themselves.

Hi I posted this in the Roomster section, but really, I have seen from searching the 'net that it could effect any car. Wondering if anyone can help in the general section? Don't know really where to look anymore. Thank you

Hi all I have a Skoda Roomster 2010 1.5 Diesel. Just bought it. Guy said it had 2 injectors and the car failed straight away and I had another injector changed. Garage won't diagnose anymore but the car won't make more that 3000rpm. I've diagnosed several things it could be and replaced the fuel filter but still not sure what it might be. Great little car, don't want to give up on it. Wonder if anyone has any ideas? Thanks, Justin
