Skoda Kamiq Diesel Water Sensor Problem

Alright, so my 2021 Skoda Kamiq with a diesel engine is giving me some grief. The check engine light is on, and the error memory says there's a problem with the water sensor. The engine is running a bit rough too. It's done 79580 km. I'm thinking it might be a simple issue like a defective cable or plug connection on the component. Anyone else experienced this sensor issue?

I had a similar sensor issue with my Skoda Kamiq. The car diagnostics pointed to a faulty water sensor as well. Could be an electrical fault. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the sensor?

Thanks for the quick reply! When you say electrical fault, do you mean a broken wire or just a loose connection? Where exactly is the water sensor located? I'm not very familiar with auto electronics.

Yes, in my case, it turned out to be a corroded connector on the water sensor. This caused an intermittent electrical fault. I recommend inspecting the connector and cable carefully. However, due to the potential complexity of modern car diagnostics and auto electronics, I would recommend visiting a workshop to avoid causing further damage.

Thanks a lot for the help! It turned out to be a defective connector on the water sensor, just like you suspected. The auto electronics workshop charged me 95€ to fix the electrical fault. Everything's running smoothly again.
