Skoda Kamiq Diesel Engine Problems

I'm having some trouble with my 2020 Skoda Kamiq diesel. It has around 190785 km. Sometimes the engine won't start when I turn the ignition key. Other times, the engine shuts off while I'm driving, or it runs really rough. Could this be a problem with the car electronics or the ignition switch? Could it be related to a defective fuse? Any ideas?

Sounds similar to an issue I had with my Kamiq. The engine would sometimes cut out while driving, and other times it wouldn't start at all. Did you notice any flickering lights on the dashboard before it happened?

Flickering lights? I did notice that the dashboard light seemed dimmer than usual right before it wouldn't start. Where was the defective fuse located in your car? Was it difficult to replace?

Yes, the dashboard light was the first sign for me too. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure which fuse it was exactly, or how difficult it is to replace. I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it out pretty quickly. Might be best to get it checked by someone who knows what they're doing.

It was indeed a defective fuse linked to the car ignition! The dashboard light was a clue. I replaced it, and now the car starts fine. Total cost was 52€, not too bad. Thanks for the advice!
