Hi! 

 

Maybe somebody heard a lot about this, but maybe not. Let's start - couple of days ago I bought Skoda from really good auto service with all documents in perfect condition. In ''tehnical'' only problem before was with EOBD system, but both times was repaired. Exatly what I don't know. Then after few days I'm driving on motorway and I got this warning light on (look picture). I checked in internet and I see it's the same problem what was before. When I turn key till car electronic switch on I hear weird ''ticking'' noise from engine, sound continues when I start car, too. I'm trying to find some usefull information but I red can be a lot of problems under this warning light. It looks like car eating more gas too and engine not works with good power anymore. This problem can be really serious to not rapair but give car back because I have garantie. Maybe somebody got the same problem and can explaine and give me some ''calm down'' in mind about what that can be. I will be really thankfull! And sorry about my english.

I can comment on the ticking noise. I have this on my car and it seems to come from the Vacuum Distributor. And i don't think this is related to your problem with this warning. Other option i have read about is that it could be some vacuum valve, but i haven't had time to look into it.

If you get a chance to find out what the clicking noise is it would be interesting to me if you would let me know

code reading should pinpoint the error code and from that you should be able to get it sorted.

My 1.6 fsi occasionally throws up the emissions lamp you show but it is down to it being very frugal around 44 mpg on motorway and not liking ticking over at a stop for any length of time.

It passes the emissions test on the mot and has been the same for the 4 years I have owned it.

It got worse when a coil pack was failing but since that was replaced it has been fine.
