quote: Yeah totally agree with you with buying a diagnostics computer, many of people I've come across buy the full £200+ version just so they can play with the settings of the car (e.g. Digital speedo, alarm chirp etc.) and at the end of the day it's hell of a lot more than just that. And that's fair enough, I just thought that well as I said, it's a mechanical fault so should that come under any Skoda 'lifetime' warrenty etc, that's all. :) quote: Thank you. | |

What these computers (vagcom, tech2, kwp2000 etc) do is tell you the first instance where the problem is picked up. | |

Really don't know why I bother asking for help on here all I do is get flamed. It'll be the last time I ask. We're not all mechanically minded, and I thought that there were some helpful people on here, just because it's a Corsa forum doesn't mean that I can't ask questions about a different marque of car. :( quote: See that's all I was after, thank you Ben.

Any good vag specialist should be able to sort it and it won't cost the earth. As you've already diagnosed it, he can narrow it down and save on spending time tracing it. | |

I don't understand... If you've 'diagnosed' the issue, you know what to fix, why does it need to go to Skoda for someone to check the wiring? | |

And then ask for advice on a vauxhall corsa forum surely that counts towards his award too? | |

Car breaks but you don't want to pay to have it fixed as it's not something you have done to cause it to break? | |

I was just about to say, save yourself a whole load of mucking about and just pay someone 30 quid to tell you what's wrong with it. If you're not mechanically minded you probably shouldn't go poking around the HT setup. | |

Maybe the coil packs weren't the problem in the first place, did you just guess or get an actual diagnosis? | |

Is the car in warranty still? I'm guessing not as you've already paid out for spark plugs and coils. | |

I have recently replaced the coil packs on my VRS, because now and again when I put my foot down it'd hold back and either the EML would flash and sometimes stay on or both EML and EPC light would come and go in safe mode. I have replaced all 4 coils along with spark plugs and still getting this problem. Now when RAC came out last he said if it does happen again then it's worth looking at the wires leading to Coil 3, I'm not mechanically minded so wouldn't have a clue where to start. I'm wanting to take it to Skoda and leave it there until it's repaired but I'm not willing to pay out X amount or anything for that matter as it's nothing I've done. |
