Hey, thanks for your answer. You seem to have a clue! Now, of course, I hope it's not the diesel particulate filter in my case too. But what must be done, must be done... Can you still remember how much you had to pay for it back then? And have you had similar problems again since then, or was there really peace and quiet? Best regards!

Hello, no problem, always happy to help! Yes, I can reassure you, everything has been fine since the workshop visit and I haven't had any more problems. The defect in the exhaust gas temperature sensor was repaired - everything has been quiet since then. As for the price, I can tell you that I had to pay €52 to repair the defective fuse and the power supply. So don't worry too much, it'll be fine! All the best!

Hi! That sounds stressful. I haven't had the exact issue, but it could be the sensor. I would recommend getting a second opinion from another mechanic. Anyone else have experience with this? Good luck!
I agree with CarFreak. It's always a good idea to get a second opinion if you're not completely satisfied with your current mechanic's diagnosis. It could indeed be the sensor, but it could also be a clogged DPF as KlaraFahrer mentioned. Both issues are not to be taken lightly as they can lead to more serious problems if not addressed promptly.
Let our mechanics help you!
Hi, Had a similar problem with my Skoda Superb diesel (2016, about 230,000 km). There was also an indicator light and a decreasing performance feeling. During my last inspection at the garage, it was then found that the DPF (diesel particulate filter) was clogged. It was something serious as this could lead to major engine damage. Don't worry, your suspicion about the exhaust gas temperature sensor could also be correct. In both cases, however, I would advise taking the car to the garage as soon as possible. Hopefully you'll have better luck with your mechanic this time. All the best!
