Skoda Kodiaq Idle Problems

Stalling engine on a modern Skoda Kodiaq? Sounds eerily familiar. Had a similar experience, although I hesitate to jump to conclusions without further diagnostics. Is the idle speed consistently low, or does it fluctuate? Any other unusual noises or smells?

The idle speed is consistently low, and sometimes it fluctuates wildly right before it stalls. I don't notice any unusual noises or smells, but the check engine light is definitely on. You mentioned a similar experience - what was the resolution in your case?

Consistent low idle speed and stalling definitely point towards an idle control issue. In my case, it was indeed a heavily contaminated intake manifold causing the IAC valve to stick. I strongly suggest getting the intake inspected. Given the symptoms and error code, it's highly probable that's the culprit. A thorough cleaning, or replacement if necessary, should resolve the issue. I'd recommend a professional diagnosis though.

You were spot on. Workshop confirmed the intake was heavily contaminated, causing the idle air control valve to malfunction. Repair cost me 425€. Runs perfectly now, thanks again!
