Skoda Kodiaq RS Diesel problems with the engine, engine control light keeps coming on

Hey, I had a pretty similar problem with my Skoda Octavia Diesel (2019 model year). It wasn't quite fit either, black smoke from the exhaust and the engine warning light was also on. In my case, the cause was actually a defective lambda sensor, which led to all the problems. I had it checked at my garage. The guys there replaced the defective lambda sensor, which cost me a total of 375.0 euros. Since then, the car has been running perfectly again. Have you ever had the fault memory read out or an exact fault code? That could provide more information. Give me a few more details about your vehicle, then I might be able to give you more specific tips. Best regards!

Hey, my Kodiaq has done 109876 km and the last service was three months ago. I haven't had the fault memory read out yet, but I'll definitely have that done soon. Thanks for the tip about the lambda sensor, I'll have that checked too and let you know as soon as I have more information. Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the additional info. If your Kodiaq already has almost 110,000 km on the clock and the service was only three months ago, it could well be that the lambda sensor or another part of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system is actually the problem. Sometimes clogged diesel particulate filters (DPF) or defective EGR valves can also cause similar symptoms. As I said, I had a similar problem with my Octavia, and in my case it was the lambda sensor. But a friend of mine, who also drives a Kodiaq Diesel, once had to have the DPF replaced, especially because it was quite clogged. You can also address this specifically in the workshop. If it turns out that it's not the lambda sensor, it might also make sense to check the EGR valve and the DPF. In the worst case, a leaking exhaust pipe could also cause the black smoke and the strong odor. I would advise you to have the fault memory read out as soon as possible, as the fault codes will help you and the workshop to find the problem more quickly and accurately. Let me know when you have more information or if you have any other questions. Best wishes and good luck!

Hey, thanks for the detailed tips! I will definitely have the fault memory read out as soon as possible and contact the workshop specifically about the lambda sensor, the DPF and the EGR valve. Then I hope that the guys there can find the problem quickly. I'll let you know when I know more or if any other questions arise. Best regards and thanks again for the help!

Start by checking the transmission fluid level and condition, as low or dirty fluid can cause shifting issues. If the fluid level is fine, it might be a sensor or electronic issue affecting the transmission. Since the warning light is on, have the fault codes read to pinpoint the problem. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.

Hello everyone, I have a 2019 model Skoda Kodiaq (75000 km) and I'm having problems with the automatic gearbox which doesn't shift as usual. In addition, the shifting behavior is not very credible and the fuel consumption is low. The exhaust gas warning light is on and the gears, whether automatic or manual, change from 2nd to 4th and then to 6th. I no longer have the odd gears (1st, 3rd and 5th). Has anyone encountered this problem before, or have any suggestions as to what might be causing these problems? Thanks in advance for your help.

Check the transmission fluid level and condition first, as low or dirty fluid can cause shifting issues. If the fluid is fine, it could be a problem with the transmission control module or a related sensor. Since the exhaust gas warning light is on, have the fault codes read to help identify the issue. Keep me updated on your progress or if you have further questions.

Hello, Thank you for your reply. After a night of lull, the light on the exhaust gas control system went out and the gears shift normally. Is this just a warning or a malfunction in the car's memory .... to be continued

It's possible that the issue was temporary, but it's important to monitor the situation closely. If the warning light comes back on or the shifting issues return, have the fault codes read to identify any underlying problems. Let me know if you notice any changes or have further questions.
