I have a skoda fabia 1.4 I have vac-comed it and getting three errors 18048-17978-18043 I believe my cars computer is gone. Please could you help since the main reason for vag-coming was to find solution to reduce it's fuel consumption. This car has no power when driving especially after a slight stop. You can run faster than it. I could sometimes try to excelerate puting my foot to the floor with no success of fast moving. I've done all the necessary service but no joy. I only get 25 m/g which is costly. Please help before I dump this 'W' reg.

18043 - Data Bus Powertrain missing message f.air condition control

Sorry to here of your troubles, welcome to briskoda.

Would either get it sorted at a dealer, or dump it for 2 that doesn't error.

my mate had a similar problem but hes got a ford galaxy (boo) and his problem was his "maf sensor", but best bet is take it to ur main dealer theyll put the computer on it and u should find out from there, but that computer buisness isnt cheep

Could someone clarify what this means:

18043 - Data Bus Powertrain missing message f.air condition control?

Its come up on mine :(

what ever you do dont get rid of it, skoda are inexpenive VW's if u got a tiny problem get it sorted at a main dealer

but dont give up on it

i got a felicia, and if i sell it it would would be for an octavia vrs they are good cheep cars, all cars have prblems

fords have serious cpu probles and will not fix it untill out of warrnty

and other makes are the same, skoda are very good so stick with them, an you will be fine
