Wings of Peterborough - bunch of thieves, if you've bought your Skoda from Motorpoint in Peterborough then take your car to Wings for servicing etc, be prepared to pay for the air you breathe in the place.

Was out with my wife earlier in our 55 Fabia 1.9TDi Ambiente, the wife was driving and a buffoon came out of a junction in front of us, in her panic during the emergency stop she stalled the car. Once we had both composed ourselves she restarted the car, now, the glow plug warning light is flashing and the Control System For Exhaust Gases light is permanently on, the car is driving OK, but obviously with these two lights on we're confused to say the least ! Any idea ? Thanks Nick

I've got a 55 reg Fabia Ambiente TDi, about 23 months old, and have the following problem, the engine management light comes on 10 minutes after the engine has been started, the following is the scenario of events: September 7th, engine management light came on during long journey, over the next couple of days it became apparent that the light would come on after 10 minutes of the engine being started. September 10th, 20,000 mile service, during this service it was diagnosed that the car had a faulty alternator. September 22nd, alternator replaced, problem still persists, after 10 minutes, engine management light comes on. October 2nd, car in all day, diagnosed as a faulty alternator. October 6th, alternator replaced, problem still persists, after 10 minutes, engine management light comes on. The work is all being done under warranty at my local main dealer, the car is booked in again on October 16th for more investigations, but I'm fast losing confidence in them. Anyone got any ideas ?? Thanks Nick

Hi, Newbie from Peterborough logging on, pround owner of a Fabia Ambiente TDi, had it for about 9 months love the car, apart from one minor problem which I'll post in the relevant forum. Cheers Nick
