Hi guys.

 

I had the fault code P0079 code on my 2015 1.6 CR Tdi.

 

This indicated a fault within the exhaust flap control unit.

 

I nearly died when Skoda quoted £378 for the part alone. Apparently this is because it includes the exhaust section.

 

However, after a bit of searching my mechanic found the orginal Pierburg unit by itself for £116 and he fitted it within 15 minutes retaining the exhaust section. I think he got it from TPS.

 

Just a bit of info for anyone who has that fault code.

 

Cheers.

Good information. 👍
