Hi guys,

Just looking for a few opinions here.

Bought my wife a 2012 Mk2 Fabia (1.2 Greenline TDI) a couple of weeks ago from a reputable small garage.

MIL appeared after about 8-9 days. Comes on for hours then off again. Rinse and repeat. It is throwing 3 codes:

P2016 - Intake Manifold Position Sensor (Circuit low)

P2015 - Intake Manifold Position Sensor (Range performance)

P0672 - Cylinder 2 Glow Plug Circuit

I saw that you can use a bracket to limit the actuator movement on the 2/3 litre engines, although I don't think a similar fix exists for the 1.2.

1. How big an issue are these codes likely to be? Do we require an immediate fix?

2. What would you expect from the dealer that sold us the car in this situation? Is it reasonable to expect a fix?

Cheers,

Joe.

ETA - The dealer is 4 hours away, so having them get their own garage to take a look isn't really an option.

Hi Joe, (almost put Hey) here's my opinion(s).

If it's reputablle garage then let them know about this and let them have a go at sorting it out. It could be something easy to find and and sort or not and possibly could be a few potential causes and fixes. It might need an appropriate level scan tool plus general mechanical and electrical training, knowledge and experience. Live data reading might tell more.

By it I mean the three codes and possiby two or more issues (glow plug) and causes.

Have you looked in/or asked in the Fabia MK2 forums or other forums where that particular engine is used (you don't give the engine code, that may, or may not, be relevant to this issue).

@nta16 1.2 TDI CFWA (CFW) These was part of the VW Defeat Device recall and the car might or might not have had the Software / Engine Management update. This was a disaster for many of these engines.
