Check engine light on a new car

Featured Replies

Good morning from Lefkada, Greece,

I whish everybody of you have a Happy and Healthy New Year.

 

I had ordered a new Superb FL MY21  2.0 TDI  DSG from late July. It came a week ago. I took it from the dealer last Thursday (31-12-2020). I drove to my home town. When i arrived, i took my wife and children for a ride. When the car had done about 50 kilometers on the dash, the Check Engine Light lit up. Imagine the frustration I felt.
So, do you have an opinion about that? ...... And what do you suggest me?

 

Thank you very much all and i wish you all the best,

 

ILIAS

I would phone the dealer, and expect him to send a vehicle to collect it and take it back for rectification.  They shouldn’t be trying to drive it back with light on.  Clearly something not correct.

 

Could be almost anything from battery not charged, to faulty sensor

 

Sorry to hear this.  If dealer doesn’t act quickly then call Skoda breakdown assist

I sent you a PM

Really sorry to hear of that. Takes the shine of a new car and what should be a great experience. :speechless:  I would be getting the dealer to sort this asap. Probably advise keeping a log of events just incase you need it in the future.

Finally all is well. It was just a false alarm.

 

Thank you all very much and especially  @newbie69  for the guidance he offered me.
