Hi Guys and girls.

I have just had a problem with my 2001 Octavia VRS.

The engine management light came on the other day, I got it scanned and cleared any faults, went for a test drive and no faults came up, happy days.

Despite several registered faults the car has always drove faultless, though I have only owned it for about 5 months.

Just been tooting along the motorway and when i got into town the car was really struggling to idle, the revs would drop and the car was vibrating, then the revs would come up slightly, when starting back off I was having to give it more gas than usual.

I have posted the fault codes below and I have researched them and I know it could be a number of things from sensors to the MAF or DV.

I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and could pinpoint the issue with the my description and fault codes. Oh and one other thing, every now and then when starting in the cold, the car idles fine but struggles to get going, once I am past 1.5 revs the car drives as normal.

Any help appreciated. Cheers

Phil

Check the intercooler to manifold pipework for splits and broken joints first.

Replace the coolant temperature sensor.
