Skoda Kodiaq engine issues
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Skoda Kodiaq with a gasoline engine is experiencing issues such as a check engine light, rough running, smoke during acceleration, jerking, a loud hissing noise, and reduced power. These symptoms suggest a potential problem with the EGR valve, which could also lead to increased fuel consumption and concerns about emissions and catalytic converter damage. The recommended solution is to have the EGR valve checked and possibly replaced by a professional, which resolved the issue in this case.

Yeah, fuel consumption is definitely up. How did you figure out it was the EGR valve? Did you replace it yourself?

I didn't replace it myself, no. Took it to a workshop. Given the symptoms – check engine, rough idle, smoke, jerking – they suspected the EGR valve right away. The hissing noise probably confirms it's jammed open. Best to get it checked professionally, especially with vehicle emissions being a concern.

Just got my Kodiaq back from the shop. It was indeed the EGR valve. New one fitted, cost 355€. Runs like new again!

Sounds like you're having a similar issue I had with my Kodiaq. Check engine light, rough idle... Does it also smell a bit funny? Could be the EGR valve. Is your fuel consumption higher than normal?
