my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) engine light is flashing what should I do

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical hazards.

2. Replace Spark Plugs

• Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover (if applicable) by unscrewing any fasteners.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors.
  3. Remove the ignition coils by unscrewing or pulling them out.
  4. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs.
  5. Install new spark plugs by hand to prevent cross-threading, then torque to the manufacturer’s specification (typically around 20-25 Nm).
  6. Reinstall ignition coils and connectors, followed by the engine cover.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coils (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Ratchet, socket set
• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the ignition coils as described in the previous step.
  2. Inspect the ignition coils for cracks or damage.
  3. If any coils are faulty, replace them with new units.
  4. Reinstall the ignition coils and connectors.

4. Check Fuel System

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge
• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the fuel rail and connect the fuel pressure gauge.
  2. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) to check the fuel pressure.
  3. Compare the reading with the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 3-4 bar).
  4. If pressure is low, check the fuel pump and fuel filter; replace as necessary.
