    #Engine Management Light - 2016 Superb Estate 1.6TDI Technology Business Greenline 118BHP
    Hi Everyone, After 5 months of searching, a finally found & bought the 2016 Superb estate(81,000miles) a was looking for, (within the budget a had set!), Its a fully loaded model, Lovely car to drive, A big step up from my 2006 Passat Estate that a had & loved, for the past 7 years!. (Bigger than usual budget, There NO much positive's courtesy of lockdown, but thanks to Lockdown & Pubs being closed for over a year!!).
    On the day a went to buy the car the seller (private sale)assured me that the EML had "just" came on that morning, so he took it to his local garage, run a full scan of system, and the fault came up as " DPF Differential pressure sensor - implausible signal " he offered to get the repair done & a could collect car few days later, but as a had just done a 4.5 hour journey, we had to reach a deal on the day, and he took costs of repair off price of car, Did a make a mistake here? as the EML is proving to be a bit of a nightmare!! as a was confident in my local independent garage, who av been using for MOT/Repairs for over 6 years.
    The car done the journey home , no bother at all, no other problems, but when my local garage scanned the car 2 days later it showed - " Number 1 Glowplug " (&Not DPF pressure sensor), which they took out, it was knackered, it got replaced & fault codes cleared , EML light off. (£90.00)
    On my 3rd journey in car after this repair,(A day and half later), It struggles to start - like clicking sounds as if the battery is dead and when it did start it sounded rough & slow actually starting as you turn key / EML comes back on, a return to garage for scan again, this time it shows " Low battery voltage " & battery not holding charge, New Battery installed.(£130). Scanned & input new battery details, no EML light on display - all good!
    2 days later - Yip you know - EML light on again !! (A have not taken it back for a scan yet, as it starts stops runs fine)
    Can anyone offer me any advice on the constant EML light ?
    Is this a common fault in these cars or not?
    My garage use up to date "Snap-On" reader equipment & software, is the source of the problem, only something Skoda can sort out?
    Your thoughts & Input would be very much appreciated !
    A also had the Timing belt & Water pump changed(£350)
    So after paying out the most av ever spent on new car, am £570 into it and still EML light on, a was hoping buying a much newer car would be hassel free! but a do realise that now that it dont matter how old the car is, they will always throw up problems!!.
    Thanks in advance.....

    Purely guess work without a code read, the light can come on for dozens of reasons.

    Am getting dianostic computer onto it on Thursday night, so will see what codes it throws up then.
    Could there be a fault within the cars ecu?(Or what bit of the engine "\brains"are ) as in the way it decides to alert the driver to each fault it detects? As of already replaced a glowplug + battery, it seems like a could just keep replacing parts and it will just continue throwing up EML faults! ....... That's why I am thinking there could be a fault with the "\Brains" of the car, ..........

    ECU failure is extremely rare and often a last resort for the desperate and clueless “it MUST be the black box”. I am dealing with an A4 where a new part MAY have hurt the ECU but changing one is not something to be undertaken lightly.
