PLEASE HELP - my beloved Scirocco has got faults
Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2021 3:06 pm
Hey guys,
Have been a long time lurker on here, first time poster. Have had a lot of success just by reading on here about common issues with my 2008 Scirocco 2l TSI.
I've been having EPC warning lights pop up recently but with a engine turn off then on it gets fixed, it slowly got worst and it was time for a full service. I took the car in for a service which went well until about 10 miles after when we got a EPC and engine warning light pop up.
We went back to garage and now we've got these faults. See faults attached.
We can't quite work out whats going on but its something to do with throttle body and oxygen lambda sensor not communicating properly which in turn is kicking everything up (that's what i think anyway).
I was wondering if it was worth picking up some knock off/cheap replacements (throttle body and pre and post cat lambda sensors) fitting and taking back to garage to see if that fixes the problem. If that works i'm willing to spend the money of genuine parts after.
I 'm really looking for any advice on how best to move forward on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated or ideas on next steps.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks,
Josh
