Vrs diesel 184bhp. I have a problem of the car performing at what feels like it certainly should be performing considering the power etc but randomly it will reduce to a lack of power and torque and become rather sluggish. Can change back and forth instantly and very randomly not really a pattern to it regarding engine temps etc. 

Cant remember if some time ago i read a post maybe of this problem and was said to be faulty sensor somewhere, i may be wrong. I will be going back to skoda for sure but want to know if its a common issue and anyone elses experience of the same..

There was an known issue with the Boost Pressure Sensor/connector cabling on the 2L TDI engine.

Many early owners with cars from 2014 & early 2015 had problems with this.

Normally as the problem worsens it wil lead to an engine warning & MIL lamp.

 

How old is your car?

September 2014. Right ok. Is it a simple resolution with them or?

If it is the Boost Pressure Sensor, they should know about the issue already but timing can depend if they have the parts available.

However, I think the fix is relatively quick/simple.

I took mine to the garage in "limp-home" at 17:00 on Friday & had a phonecall at 9:00 the next morning tell me it was ready to collect with complementary wash, clean & hoover inside.

Awsome..thanking you.. ill update when im sorted..

That fix should have been done at first service. When I had my VRs oil burner they replaced that sensor as a recall item, plus the bottom trim on the steering wheel which didn't have the VRS badge on it.

Technicaly It hasnt had its 1st skoda service and isnt going to lol ive changed the oil to some premium edge pro its still only on 13k. Theres only one garage and one guy on earth i trust working on my cars and thats where it goes the only time ill go back to skoda is for an issue such as this.

I dont mean i wont be servicing it just not with skoda.
