Can anyone help?
I’ve got a 2017 Skoda OCTAVIA diesel VRS, That is intermittently hesitating when driven from being restarted from fully warm. I’ve had it obd’d by a local garage, and the fault code ‘suggested’ that it was a crank sensor fault. This was replaced but the problem remained.
Is this a common fault on this engine? I had a 20L diesel ambiante about 10 years ago that had the same problem, and despite changing various parts the fault was never repaired and I had to get rid of the car.
As the car has only done 60k I’d rather not have to get rid of it.
Any ideas appreciated!
