Seat Ibiza Engine Fault Code Issue

I am experiencing an issue with my Seat Ibiza, build year 2021 with a gasoline engine. The vehicle has 180665 km. An error message is displayed in the infotainment system and speedometer, and the engine light is illuminated. Diagnostic check reveals a stored fault code, possibly due to incorrect vehicle coding.

Whoa, that sounds eerily familiar! I had a similar thing happen with my Ibiza. The engine light popped on, and the infotainment screen went nuts with error messages. Did you use a diagnostic scanner to pull the fault code?

Yes, I used an OBD-II scan tool and got a fault code related to the ECU. Did the recalibration fix it permanently for you? Any other issues cropped up later?

Yep, recalibration did the trick. The workshop suspected incorrect coding from the start. I remember thinking 'Oh great, here we go again' when the engine light first appeared. But, so far so good after the fix. If the diagnostic scanner points to coding, I'd suggest getting it checked at a reputable workshop.

Just got the Seat back. They recalibrated the ECU, and it seems the coding was off. The engine light is gone and error messages disappeared. Cost me 360€. Thanks for the help!
