Driving to the in-laws in Italy from the UK with April 2012 bought Roomster TDI 1.6, had to get the car repaired at the local Skoda/VW registered dealer for what appears to be an exhaust gas recycling valve problem (got flashing glow-plug light while driving and car going into 'limp' mode).

 

UK delear confirmed car still under guarantee and suggested local Italian dealer proceed with repairs as if the car was under local (Italian) guarantee, but guarantee in Italy only 2 years and local dealer umming and arring about whether they can do it like that.

 

Has anyone had such an issue before or have some advice about dealing with it? Reading on the forum it seems this is 1) a common problem, and, 2) expensive to fix, hence anxious to get done under guarantee.

 

Any advice much appreciated.
