1.6 Tdi tick over

Tickover speed now sorted. Car was in Skoda garage for about 2 weeks with numerous electrical faults - alternator only charging intemittently, heater fan would stop working and then work again next time started egine + other minor electrical glitches. Anyway technical department at Skoda after much head-scratching suggested an earthing/ground fault. This was the problem - clear signs of arcing at one of the major earting points. Cleaned and tightened up and electrical faults cured. Major side benefit - tickover now always quickly settles dow to a steady 800 rpm. I can now reverse without slipping the clutch all the time. In traffic, when I select 1st or 2nd gear the tickover does rise to 900 but I can creep forward at much lower speeds. I can also go round some roundabout in 3rd gear now on a trailing throttle with far less surge than I had before. Overall MPG has improved fractionally from 55 to 57 mpg. Worth getting your Skoda agent to check earthing/grounding if you still have high tickover pronlem
