    Evening all. Long time, no chat!

    Drove the car for the first time in a few days today(1.9 Octavia), and the amber Control System for Exhaust light came on the dash. I know it's kinda asking a stupid question, but is the EGR the most likely culprit?

    Thoughts/ opinions welcome as always.

    EGR and coolant temp sensor are the two most common causes.

    Cheers George. Checking on BriSkoda also said sometimes glow plugs can be the culprit. I'll be down to you for a service soon enough, cos the service indicator is at 800kms now, so I'll get her properly diagnose then.

    No bother. Whatever it needs we should have in stock in any case.

    Nice one George. Not doing the mileage I once was. I'm lucky to be doin 800km a month, never mind a week. I'd imagine it'll be towards the tail end of February, but I'll give you a shout.
