EPC error - parts needed

[xcyber]

EPC error happend to me this weekend with my 2011 skoda fabia 1.2 tsi dsg..  Emergency mode and had to be towed to the skoda dealer.

They  give me a bill at 17K norwegian krones if they gonna fix it for me!

I asked for the partsnumber of the parts that needs to be changed but he didnt have permission to give me that??  :(

He did gave me the names only but without partsnumber for the parts sitting in my car today there is a lot of parts that dont fit if I order the parts from a netshop I think.. 

 

1) Throttle

2) Oil Separator

3) Control Valve (Breathing to engine)

 

Anyone know the partsnumber for this parts for my car?  

My chassis / VIN number is: TMBJN65J9C3028523

Thats a little shy of £1400, in pounds sterling!

 

Surely if they have quoted you parts, the quote must contain the parts needed? Usually, the main dealer parts will have their part number alongside the price.Therefor, ask for a printout copy, not just a verbal quote.

 

You could try another dealer... Ask them over the phone, how much each part is for your vehicle and then once they know that, they'll know the part number, too. Its just a case then of getting them fitted.

Was it not drivable at all? EPC/limp mode in my experience, you often can still drive albeit very slowly, with minimal power to get it to a garage. Because it was towed in, they may feel they have you over a barrel perhaps?

 

Follow @mrgf good advice, and if they refuse to give you a detailed quote,  involve another dealer or a good independent. You could complain to Skoda Norway about the refusal to give you full information.

 

Not sure how a throttle valve, oil seperator and PCV could be involved together in an EPC/limp mode fault. 

 

These are possibly the parts referred to

If you've paid for diagnostics, surely you are entitled at least to know all the fault codes found. 

 

OBD error codes often point more or less directly to the problem (By the way, a simple OBD code reader costs at little as £15)

 

In my experience and what I've seen on Briskoda with 1.2tsi CBZA/CBZB engines the most common EPC/limp mode failures are (in order of occurrence)

 

plug lead/coilpak failure (misfiring, engine running rough, low power)

 

Turbo actuator fault (very low power)

 

Don't think I've seen any posts yet involving a throttle body change or an oil seperator, but I may be wrong.
