Glow plug light and engine light problem - fixed!

[Leadsolo]

Hi all,

I had a problem with my Fabia, 55 plate, 1.9 TDi where periodically as I turned the key, the glow plug lights would stay on for ages and then, when I started the engine, the orange engine shaped warning light would come on and stay on for ages before clearing itself. No issues with running, but a weird problem.

Thanks to Briskoda, I went to Inde-tech in Milton Keynes who were really helpful. Diagnosed the problem as a faulty coolant temperature sensor. They were able to fix it there and then, took about 40 minutes in total and cost £63.25 inc VAT.

I dread to think what the dealer would have charged.

Anyway, the warning lights are off and I'm happy.

Nice one Inde-tech! :thumbup:

Okay - interesting to know. As much as anything, I guess it was time bound as well and they were able to fit me in a bit quicker. Pilling Skoda still do repairs, based up at Westcroft. They've stopped selling Skoda but still maintain them.

Thanks for the advice.
