I have an engine symbol warning on my 1.2 diesel greenline. TDI-CR (CFWA)

 

It has two components, and the local garage  (not a Skoda specialist but a Peugeot one) has twice switched the light off but within 24 hours it has returned.

 

Details:

 

"15536 -P0405    EGR temperature sensor (G98)  Sig too low"

 

AND

 

"15916 - P0671   Cylinder 1 Glow plug circuit (Q10) - electrical fault"

 

 

Is there anything I can do with modest DIY skills, or is this a Skoda garage job, and is so what is the likely cost please ?

 

I have never dealt with P codes before.

 

thanks

For any DIY work, it's not impossible.  It will be determined by how familiar you are with a multimeter and tracing wires to/from source.

 

You may also need a diagnostic tool like VCDS to read MVB (measurement block values) to read in live values.  This kind of tool can pay for itself by saving trips to dealer's/independent workshops.

 

 

If you are not comfortable doing such work, then off to a dealer/independent workshop.

Probably because they didn't actually fix the issue.

Ok, that sounds like progress and good advice.

 

Are these the best VCDS people please ?

They do at least show up on the official distributor list, so you should be ok in theory.

Thanks again.  Time constraints mean I have to get the car sorted at a garage.

 

Does anyone know a good  independent in Devon or Somerset please ?

 

Car needs a general service and check in addition to the PCode resolutions, plus MOT due beginning of March.

I have just had a word with Yeomans, Exeter.  They want £100 to read the codes.  As I have scanned using a Snap On reader, I told them the codes and description.  Within 3 seconds, the service lady said

 

"Ah, that will be a new EGR valve.  £1600"

 

 

"Thank you Yeomans, and goodbye."

 

 

Again, a request for a recommended Skoda independent in Somerset or Devon, please.
