Ignore ‘ruin’, don’t know what autocorrect was thinking….

This is another new one, doesn’t do it on start up or any general journey, but there’s one bridge I cross and this pops up every time I’m in a certain direction ruin on the, or approaching the bridge, totally weird. Windscreen is also clean.

Mine is a 2020, with the split headlight so I assume it’s a face lifted model.

I posted about this a few weeks back that I occasionally get the Orange ACC error. I was advised at the time about getting the sensor realigned etc. Can anyone tell me exactly where this sensor is, I can see no electronic type, camera, sensor behind any of the grills. I’ve googled and there is no info anywhere on the actual location. I often just get the car warm, turn off and back on again and the error is gone. 2020 ŠKODA Octavia estate 4x4. Thanks

Where can I find information about where the front ACC sensor is? The last few weeks I have had persistent orange ACC warning light. It seems to be totally random, I’m in Finland so I’m not sure where to attempt to clean the snow/ice in particular in case this is the cause. However irrespective of this it sometimes clears just be shutting down and restarting the car. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Thanks for all comments. I normally use E10, winter and summer. The light is currently clear, and I have ordered some JLM petrol particulate filter additive, comes from Germany so will be a week or so. We do a fair amount of short journeys, but that is the whole year. However on the last two months we have driven long distances, Lapland and back which was a 2000km trip and also to visit other cities. So for it to come on last week was a surprise. Being an automatic it always keeps the revs relatively low, so perhaps frequently I will use manual mode for a couple of journeys a week to keep the revs a little higher and hence the exhaust gas temps to try and clear the filter.

Once again, o am fully aware of the procedure. My question still remains, is this normal for the light to come on. Please read my posts….

Thank for the responses this far, but what I’m trying to get an answer to is; Should the Particulate Filter warning light be coming on or not? It wouldn’t clear by driving 12 months ago and had to have some Skoda test equipment used to clear it. 12 months later it’s come on again. Yes we do a fair amount of short journeys, but not 2 months ago we drove 2000km to Lapland and back. And I have been able to clear it this time, but is it something I can expect regularly?

I used driving at 3-5k and then taking foot off throttle for a few seconds. Then repeating. I did this for about 30 minutes. Nothing happened, so I switched gearbox back from manual to automatic mode. Then about 10 mins later I noticed the orange triangle and engine sign had gone from dashboard.

By clearing the light using the driving method, have I totally cleaned the filter? Or is it only cleaned sufficiently to clear the light/blockage and soon it will come on again???

We bought our 2020 Skoda Octavia 2.0L petrol engine 12 months ago. Within a few weeks the particulate filter light illuminated, tried the owners manual recommendation to clear the filter by driving at 3-5K etc but it would not clear. The garage took the car back but at the time there was a global issue with the test equipment software and we didn’t get the car back until this was solved and the garage could run the test equipment and clear the light. 12 months on, the light came on this last weekend. It took about 40 minutes trying the driving method to clear the light but it has cleared this time. Is this normal for this engine type to have this issue, we have spoken to garage and they’ve offered us a similar model as a trade in if we no longer trust this particular car. Be good to have other users experience of this petrol engine particulate filter light??
