The Skoda Thread

[fossyant]

What @figbat says - a reader can be a right money or time saver - could just be a sensor throwing a wobble, but nothing is actually wrong, and you'll see what the error is. Clear it, and if it comes back you know you've got a problem. Saves time going to the dealer !

We've used the same garage for the past 9 years or so, & know the owner, so trust them

Owners sister is my wifes business partner/co-director

I've booked the Kodiaq into our regular garage, for Monday
The orange 'Engine Management' is on
The handbook states it's an emissions related fault

Doubt it's the DPF as that has its own symbol

There's no change in drivability/noise/etc...

I didn't use it Wed/Thur/Fri, but have driven up to Yeadon in it earlier this morning, a (circa) 50 mile round trip
It was a mixture of M62. M1, city-centre, urban a-roads
The light wasn't on, when I started it up, hasn't illuminated at all

Catch 22; do I ring Richard up, to cancel the appointment, or go & get it checked out?

I’d still get it looked at - a fault code may still be logged.

I don’t see the Catch 22 though. 🤔😉

Dropping into Morpeth (Northumberland), on the old Great North Road, hence the restored sign

I'm not certain we really need to know how far it is to 'Londinium'

Safe crossing times

On the island itself

After a while on the island, we drove back & went up to Berwick-upon-Tweed
Out of curiosity, to see how much the tide had come in, & covered the road, I went back down @15:48
No!, I certainly didn't make any attempt to drive out

Digressing slightly, this was our accomodation for that week, we could see Holy Island from the living room windows
Waren Mill, on the coastal road between Bamburgh & Belford
(the mill that gave the hamlet - too small to be a village - its name)


We were in the 'square extension' (with the 'loft' & top floor)

In 2021, I still have no need to know the distance to 'L'

I neglected to mention previously, but the 'GNR' is now the A197 on this section

The Kodiaq's gone to the usual garage

The service message came on, on Saturday, so I managed to book it in (day-off)
Got one of the Auris(?) courtesy cars (seems odd, going back to a petrol)

I wonder if I'll keep it long enough, to gather the same paper-trail that the Octavia had?

Thanks, I'm never quite certain with the smaller Toyotas

I ought to know, as wife had a C-HR hybrid for 3 years, & now has a Auris 'works van'

The Karoq belongs to family friends
The Citigo, just parked there at times (it was a long time before I saw who drove it)
And, a surprisingly clean looking Octavia

They’re picking up a bit of dirt around the edges now
