Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI engine problems with exhaust gas recirculation or EGR valve

Hey, I had similar problems with my Skoda Octavia Diesel, built in 2016. I have a bit of experience with cars, but not the world either. In my case, it was also the EGR valve that was defective or jammed. I then went to my trusted garage and they replaced the EGR valve. The whole thing cost me 355.0 euros. After that, the engine ran smoothly again, no more vibrations and no more engine light. It's best to have it checked at the garage. What model year do you have exactly? Maybe I can give you a few more specific tips. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your reply! My Kodiaq was built in 2018 and has just completed 165,432 km. I'll follow your advice and have the EGR valve checked at the garage. Do you happen to have any other tips on what I should look out for if it's not the EGR valve? Many thanks in advance!

Hey, no problem, gladly! Since your Kodiaq was built in 2018 and already has over 165,000 km on the clock, you could also have a few other points checked in case it's not the EGR valve. Here are a few other suspects that can cause similar symptoms: 1 **Mass air flow sensor (LMM):** If this is defective, it can lead to rough engine running and loss of power. 2 **Fuel filter:** A clogged or dirty fuel filter can also cause the engine to run out of tune. 3. spark plugs/glow plugs:** Even if diesel has no spark plugs, check the glow plugs. If they are not working properly, the engine will be difficult to start or will not run properly. 4. intercooler and turbocharger:** If there is something wrong, e.g. a leak in the intercooler, this can also lead to loss of power and these problems. 5 **Injectors:** Clogged or defective injectors can also cause rough running and loss of power. It could therefore be worth having these points checked at the workshop if everything is in order with the EGR valve. Sometimes there are also combinations of problems, especially with such a high mileage. Keep your fingers crossed that it will be found and fixed quickly! Best wishes and good luck!

Hey, thanks for the detailed tips! I'll take the list with me and give it directly to the workshop. That will certainly help to find the problem more quickly. I hope it won't be too expensive - but safety and a reliable car are worth it. Hopefully it's just the EGR valve and nothing more complicated. Anyway, I'm a bit more reassured now that I know what else to look out for. Thanks again and best wishes!
