Welcome.

 

So how old is your car and how many miles done,

and are you paying for this work or has your car had 'The Fix' so new Engine Management and a Flow Device fitted so covered by the VW / Skoda Trust Building measures 24 month Guarantee and they are paying for these parts and labour and a courtesy car?

It's 14 plate had the recall over a year ago .already paid in local garage cars done 39000

Best get in touch with Skoda / VW have them pay for having the car fit for purpose and them repaying you for what you paid out if that was a Skoda Approved Repairer that the car was in with and they charged you.

Get the car scanned first to narrow down. Engine management light could be any number of things. I had an engine management fault recently which turned out to be broken wiring at air temperature sender. It's low down on the car at driver's side (under engine tray), but is susceptible to vibration given its location.

 

Offski's suggestion is a good call, but in my experience Skoda dealer will do anything to get out of warranty claims, and quite difficult to prove if related to original fix. They'll charge you for initial investigation then pass you their traffic light styled vehicle inspection report which is frankly scare-mongering.

 

Anyone close to you with VCDS that can scan the car?

Warranty Claim does not come into it, and neither do the Dealers Staff.  If the car has an issue, had the Fix then get Skoda / VW UK can to get people onto it that are not going to pan you off.

Point of the Trust Building Measures & the 24 Month Warranty is because VW were lying cheating barstewards and are supposedly sorry.

Thanks for the advice

^^^ ?

Has your car had The Fix carried out and have you the paperwork?

 

Why were you charged for the work, was it not carried out at a Skoda Main Dealers?
