Brindle

Own Roomster 3 with 1.9tdi diesel. Lots of torque and great economy 60mpg to and from work in Sussex. Gearchange and steering excellent

Have owned Roomster 3 with 1.9 diesel for 6 weeks and have nothing but praise. Engine very responsive with good pulling power and present consumption 53mpg+. Very comfortable and stable. Performance as good as my previous Fabia

Apparently Skoda have just issued a new bulletin saying that all Cambelts must be changed every four years. They say they are responding to dealers and customers wishes.

Resetting it only works until the next time it happens, usually as soon as you pick it up from the garage!! Garage seem reluctant to disable sensor for some reason. I've decided to live with it although a friend tells me that there is a decent VW garage in Crowborough that helped with a problem he had with sensor lights on his Skoda. May give them a try.

Thanks for prompt reply. You are right car is Feb 2000 owned since new. Garage didn't tell me the code but printout they did supply only says 'Intake Manifold pressure sensor'. They originally quoted £213.28 to replace but later said that they had done this on another car which did not cure problem but replacing throttle body did so they would not proceed until they could be sure which it was. Will go in at weekend to get actual code.

Car is Fabia 1400cc 100HP. Last May the EPC light came on occasionally when starting from cold. This didn't happen if you let the car idle for a couple of minutes. Dealer looked at code and told me it was the inlet pressure in manifold but advised me to leave it as it could be the throttle body and they didn't want to change one only to find it was the other. By November, the light would come on as soon as the car was started. The revs dip briefly, the light comes on and then everything is O.K. Garage still say leave it. Car runs perfectly apart from this, returns 40-45 mpg on most runs and even passed it's MOT with the light on! Question is does anyone got any ideas apart from above as I am concerned that with the Engine Management Light on I might miss another fault. Can this idicator be disabled? Any help for a new member would be greatly appreciated.
