The car covered 40miles then engine management came on. Check this on my own vagcom. No mechanics or service manager available no surprise there......

Hi All Looking for advice on this. My car was in to Skoda for emissions recall. The car was 100% before it went in and since the engine management light has been on. I have checked for codes and has came up with 3 glow plug faults. Where do i stand with this as the garage want £177 to change. Thanks in advance

Snow tyres on the front all ok. Correct size 205/45/16. Pedal fitted and has sorted the idle problem and stopped the pushing into junctions when braking feeling....... Easy job o do.

Ok will do. My sticking revs has been diagnosed by a Skoda tech at my local dealer. I had snow tyres fitted yesterday and since then this problem with sticking revs into the red. He said if the tyres are different size from the rears the traction control losses control. This causing the traction control to increase the revs instead of cutting back. So tyres swap tomorrow to hopefully stop the reving fault. Hope this helps.

£96.60 inc vat thanks for that!

Thanks for the gearbox info. Not much help to my topic. Accelerator pedal bought now to collect and fit. Anything else to replace or check for sticking throttle?

Pedal or is there a seperate throttle position sensor?

No clutch slip as forgot to say when on hard shoulder it was still doing it stationary. Then I switched off. I am thinking throttle pedal as it has the common high idle 1500rpm and pull pedal back it settle back to under 1000rpm. It also pushed the car when braking and revs sticking at 1500. Now this rev issue. New pedal time or something else.

Hi all Another problem with this vrs. Tonight when coming home from work. Going from 4th to 5th gear the revs shot up to the limiter. Changed up to 6th and the same with me having to stop in the hard shoulder and switching off. When I say hit the limiter it went right into the red and bounced the needle a few times. Idle can sit high at times like at light etc. Any thoughts on this. As it could be very dangerous for the driver, other road users and kill the engine.

Thanks will have a look.

Thanks for the tip will give it a go. I haven't seen any signs of a leak. There is the undertray which hides a lot. I quickly checked the history and haven't seen any signs of the pas fluid checked or replaced. So could have been not checked since it left the factory...... Is there any common pipes/ connection that fail on the pas system?

Tonight I changed the battery and removed the battery tray to gain access to the power steering fluid reservoir. Well it took a full 354ml bottle to get it on the max. With a fresh battery and top up it seems ok for now. Not a bad job a bit of a pain with the battery plastic cradle in the way. There is 2 x 13mm nuts at the front edge of airbox . A 10mm bolt that secures the airbox to tray. And finally a 13mm bolt just of centre on the tray. There is also a breather type pipe that connects to the bottom of the tray. Craig

I have vagcom on the laptop so will see how I get on with that. Going to replace the battery anyway and check the pas fluid level. Alternator load wire has can up a few times. Anyone have a photo or colour of wire to check for? Or area is breaks common? Thanks for the replies

So looking like a New battery to start with. Sure euro car parts have a 30% code which finishes next few days. Opinions for getting new battery or it being something else wrong causing the steering issue. I will also check power steering fluid level. Thanks again for the help and guide. Craig

Good guide cheers
