The advice in mine was to turn the car off and call Skoda Roadside Assist.
Yours does sound broken though...

The strict advice I had from VW/Skoda Australia is that the car was not to be driven if the ECM light came on. They said : call the tow truck.
If you have an ECM issue, they must check compression...
Sorry, 'DI injectors aren't exactly'. What do you mean?
I haven't seen a report yet so do not know, other than was told they are fault and need replacing - was suggested there may have been some...
More pain.
Injectors tested (car off road for 12 days) and failed. Now they want $1500 to replace.
What is it about VW/Skoda and an apparent lack of understanding about service and the meaning of...
I was advised not to drive the car and have it towed to the dealer. If your dealer doesn't know how to help, give Skoda Australia a ring and talk to the customer service manager...

Give Skoda Assist or your dealer - do not drive the car until checked or it will blow a piston. Then pl send me details and service report - will help the legal case.
Incidentally, the engine light...
Still have to get car working too.
Is on lease, sold after an issue with oil and overheating Pistons was identified, but not rectified pre-sale. ACCC advice is that I need to suffer repeated...
Hi Luke - I have a solicitor addressing this stuff

Looking at the injectors now - have to take then (sans car) to Sydney for testing.
Will be interesting to see what is found...

One month in and the ECR has come on again twice this week. Car is back with the dealer - for some days most likely.
Best bit is the call I got this afternoon from some poor person in service: 'Mr...
Yes, through my lease, and IMHO you'll need it too.
Great little car, but crap reliability and service from VW Aus.

I've got a similar issue with the 7sp DSG in my Skoda Fabia vRS (1.4 twincharge be built at 66k kms)
Is an obvious ssue at all speeds below 120km/h

Seems there are very few statutory rights here. Aust does not have a 'lemon' law, so it is up to the manufacturer and dealer to take appropriate action. Then there's legal action - that's out of my...
Car back with the dealer again.
So far, VAG and the dealer have been unable or unwilling to rectify the significant problems with this car over a 16 week period. Today, it has the same problems it...
Not as bad as the Friday night, but bad vibration all the time.

Got to test on a return run Canberra - Sydney yesterday.
ECM light on twice (flickering). Car stumbling and rough running at low speeds and unable to hold pace using cruise control.
Slowed...
Truth is that if I was not tied into a lease contract where the repaired car is worth less than my payout, I'd have sold it 3 weeks ago and got something not VW instead.
It is however the appalling...
I have. VW have refused. My lawyer is assisting now...
As for engine failure - given the engine is nearly new (<3yrs), and that VW acknowledged an overheating and oil issue in a 2012 service...
Yeah. I reckon I'll probably never consider a VAG product again, and I'm still considering a long legal battle to recover my costs and losses.

Update:
Sorry Umai, engine's a bloody dud. Must disagree too - it is completely unacceptable to have a modern engine fail in this way and so early in its life cycle. It is even more unacceptable to...
My concern is that, given the commonality of the failures, and the service bulletin and change to components and software which were released prior to my car being built (was a special order and took...
Latest advice is a rebuild. Might finally get the car back in the next few weeks. Asked about a new crate engine but was told that the bore was not damaged and it was to be rebuilt.
Asked about a...
Same issue with this combo in my 2013 Skoda Fabia vRS wagon. (Check out my thread in the Fabia sub folder - not able to post a link apparently).
9 weeks off the road now. 2 dealers, 2 hire cars. ...
Still no car. 10 weeks on now. Car is in Canberra, where they found a sudden drop in compression on one cylinder. Have reinstated a hire car until mine is available. Waiting on parts now - not sure...
