Hello everybody - my first posting !!! I have a Fabia 1.4 100BHP petrol, bought Sept. 2006. Ran beautifully until the first service - then he next day, when ticking over at traffic lights -the engine gave a 'COUGH', ran very roughly and the Exhaust Management warning light flashed. The engine almost stalled, and ran very roughly for some miles, then the warning light stayed on (ie stopped flashing) and the engine ran more smoothly. We have been back to the dealer 4 times now - and each time after a few days, the problem repeats - the dealer has changed the coil, the no. 3 injector, etc - but this only works for a short time. I am today waiting for the chief mechanic to ring me about what happens next - I have seen various postings about this not-uncommon problem (???) but no apparent solution ! Any help out there ??? Many thanks for an excellent site. __________________ The Chick
