Ah - as soon as we welcome a lovely 2023 Scala 1.0 TSi Monte Carlo to the family, the trusty 2019 Karoq 1.5 TSi SE decides to throw a strop!

Today, when driving on the motorway, the EPC light came on, followed shortly by the Check Engine light. Stopping and leaving the car for a while clears the lights, and a little drive round town doesn't get them to come on again, but back on the motorway they both light up again.

As my wife was driving when this happened she called the recovery company. They ran a diagnostic scan which didn't show any issues although, by the mechanic's own admission, his scan couldn't go very "deep".

He suggested taking it to the garage, which I will tomorrow, but I'd be in any thoughts or similar experiences from Briskodians.

Thanks in advance.

How many miles has it done. When were the Spark Plugs replaced? Miles. Needs a proper scan to see if there are logged Fault Codes like Misfires. How long ago was it refuelled.? Filling stations started getting Summer fuel or should have at end March. Should not make any difference as E10 is E10 or E5 is E5. but funnily there are cars throw a wee misfire this time of year.

Thank you! 53,000 files and spark plugs were replaced 12 months ago. Refulled a week ago. Will pop it down to garage tomorrow and report back.

Take a look at my post for SWMBOs Fabia 1.0TSI 110 last year.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Took it back the garage that serviced it a week ago and they found that, where they'd put the air filter housing back on they'd taken the connecting pipe off as well and refitted it without the required o ring (lost somewhere on the workshop floor). Profuse apologies and corrected with no fuss. All good now and driving like a dream again 😃
