Hi. Can anyone tell me what a P0322 fault code means on a 2007 mk2 Skoda Fabia? What are the causes?

Is it an easy fix?

The car is struggling to start and has conked out twice when slowing down to stop at traffic lights/junctions. 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks 🙂

Crank sensor fault, according to my Google.

What engine is in your mk2?

 

I don't know. Currently in work and can't get time to check until tonight.☹️

You do not know what engine is in your own car ? 🤨

Without using a reference, can you tell me the engine code for your car? I don't know the code for mine by heart.

UrbanPanzer. Nope. I just know it's a 1.2l petrol. There's nothing I can see on it that tells me

BME is mine. But now, if you ask me what I was meant to get in Spar earlier...

Letters in front of engine number on your V5c.

Nivek74 put your registration into a car parts suppliers search on their site and it will give you the info, assuming it's the same for NI you could try Euro Car Parts or Opie Oils or others.

 

I just copy the info and keep back up records and then just forget it.

 

I'll say what I always say make sure it's not with your car battery being in a low state of charge, just because it starts the car and the lights seem bright enough doesn't always mean the battery's not too low for the computers to throw wobblies and anyway you want a good state of charge this time of year particularly if you've got electric and engine faults.

 

Just swap out the crank sensor and ignore these thread spamming postcount monkeys...

Nivek74, having had a quick look at the code you won't want to be driving the car with that code so if the battery is low you might as well take it off and give it a long slow low recharge to allow for starting and stalling difficulties, unless you're getting it repaired at home or trailered to a garage.  I could well be wrong but I'm guessing you won't be doing the the crank sensor swap out, if needed, yourself.

Do you know, or are those assumptions, might be a rare slip from good manners.

 

Make up your own mind fella.

It's is just the way he is - different - and I wouldn't want him to change.

Battery is new. Alternator is testing ok aswell. I probably won't be swapping out the sensor myself. I'm not technically minded ☹️ Would save myself a small fortune.

Note that I was laughing about it, not crying about it. 

Nivek74, if you've tested the battery which it sounds like you might have, new battery is just a store so can be depleted, you've tested the alternator so if the battery has good charge then any other codes or info from the scan tool or symptoms - otherwise you might be heading for a big spend.

 

And possibly worst still there'll be, even more, celebrations, and braggartry, in Brighton.

 

Good luck anyway.

Yes figured that. The 3 of us have probably been on a few hundred post together so you get to appreciate people quirks and knowledge strengths.

Lucky me. I've just entered my car reg into the search part of Ecoparts Ni (a scrappy just up the road from me) turns out they've got the part I need. Wasn't so lucky a month or so ago when I was looking for window regulators. Looks like 3 Fabia's have come in for dismantling recently 🙂

Not wishing to rain on your parade but do be sure to cross reference any information you get, from anywhere, but especially databases as the originals can have errors and omissions which can be copied and often added to.  Check the engine type you have,  there might also be numbers on stickers and plates on your car.  Also check the part is correct to the engine you have.  It's not unknown for even garages to fit wrong parts based on the databases they use.  And never assume a part fitted to your car is original correct just because it's fitted and working.

 

Good luck.

I was not expecting the letters, literally  "it's a 1.2, or 1.6 diesel etc" would have been just as helpful with the fault code.

 

And yes mines a CTHE, not that it matters 😉
