Skoda Kamiq problems with the engine, engine indicator light keeps coming on
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Skoda Kamiq owner is experiencing engine issues, including black smoke from the exhaust, a check engine light, loss of power, exhaust leakage, and a strong exhaust smell. These symptoms suggest a potential exhaust aftertreatment malfunction, possibly due to a faulty lambda sensor. Another individual with a similar issue in a Skoda Karoq resolved it by replacing the lambda sensor, which restored the vehicle's performance. The owner plans to visit a mechanic to confirm if the lambda sensor is the cause and to address the problem.

Hey, thanks for the answer! Do you happen to remember how much you paid to replace the lambda sensor? And have you experienced anything else since then? Best regards

Hey, no problem! Sure, I can remember. The exhaust aftertreatment malfunction was actually fixed after I went to see the mechanic. It wasn't exactly cheap, the cost was €375 to replace a defective lambda sensor. Since then, my Skoda Karoq has been running perfectly again, no more problems. I hope this helps you! If you have any further questions, just let me know. Regards

Hey, thanks for the info! I'll take my Skoda to the garage too and hopefully it's just the lambda sensor. 375 € is quite a lot, but if the problem is solved after that, I'll be happy. Let's see what the mechanic says. Thanks again for your help! Best regards

It's possible that your car's oil pressure sensor is faulty, causing the oil light to stay on even after you've topped up the oil. However, it's also possible that there's an issue with your car's oil pump or even engine damage due to running out of oil. I would recommend getting your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Please keep us updated on the progress.

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2018 Skoda Karoq. My symptoms were pretty much the same: black smoke when accelerating, check engine light on, less power. It turned out that one of the lambda sensors was faulty. The mechanic replaced the defective lambda sensor and then everything was fine again. It's not a small thing, but it's not a big deal if you get it fixed in time. Hope this helps you! Regards
