Hi Guys

 

Recently my 2005 Skoda octavia 4x4 2.0 Petrol FSI had the warning lamp on for the exhaust system. Took it to a Skoda workshop here in Sweden where prices are quite high. Long story short they ran diagnostics,- faulty NOX/Oxygen/Lambna probe (don't know the right name as all 3 abb. are on the receipt). Got the car back driving nice, the next morning on my way to work +/-10miles when driving at 80-100km/h and engine up to temp, if you take your foot of the petrol the car starts to "jump" then "starve" if you want to acellerate a bit of nothing and then "jumps" and goes.

 

It's very difficult to find the wording to describe but it is as if it's starved from fuel and then get's some through. If the car is cold (in the morning) no problem when it heats up this scenario starts. I have a ebay diagnostic tool- no errors or errors on dashboard. I have a booking with the garage in two weeks, I hope they will fix it without to much cost, sensor with the processors here in sweden priced at about 900pounds for everything. The car did not have any issue like this before the sensor replacement, just the lamp on the dashboard. Could reset the alarm with my ebay tool but it came back.... so the reason for taking it to the garage and getting it replaced (wont pass swedish MOT, with lamp on)

 

To me it sounds like the new sensor is not working with the system to well, is there anything you can suggest doing between now and the garage visit in 2 weeks?

 

regards

 

Telephone the garage right away and explain that you noticed immediately after they had worked on it.  Then ask if they need it in straight away, or are prepared to wait two weeks and accept any consequences of their delay in putting it right.
