Skoda Octavia 2019: Jerks, increased fuel consumption and engine problems - crankcase ventilation defective?
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Skoda Octavia is experiencing engine issues, including stalling, power loss, jerking during acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and shuddering when idling. The owner suspects a defective crankcase ventilation system as the cause. Another individual shared a similar experience with a Skoda Superb, where the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty ignition coil and repairing a defective plastic hose in the crankcase ventilation. The suggested solutions are to check both the ignition coil and crankcase ventilation for potential faults.

Hey, wow, that didn't occur to me about the ignition coil. Thanks for the tip! Just when you've gotten used to the jerking and shaking, you're on the wrong track. Can you remember how much it cost you to replace the ignition coil? Has anything else come up since then, or was that the final solution to your problem? Thanks for your help!

Hey, yes, the ignition coil was a pretty big chunk, but since then the car has been like a new one. But you were asking about the crankcase ventilation, right? After I went to the mechanic, they fixed the crankcase ventilation fault. A plastic hose was defective, I tell you. It cost me 315 euros to repair the thing. Since then, no more noises from that direction. I hope that helps you. Good luck with your Skoda, hopefully it's nothing serious!

Hello again! 315 euros sounds a lot, but if it solves the problem, then it's definitely worth it. I will now have the ignition coil and the crankcase ventilation checked and hopefully the mechanics will be able to fix the problem. Your information was worth its weight in gold - thanks for that. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again and all the best!

Hi, I once had a similar problem with my 2016 Skoda Superb. The same symptoms - rough engine running, higher fuel consumption and of course that damn light. Imagine it was the ignition coil! The mechanics replaced it and it's been running like a new one ever since. It was definitely not a small problem and it could have been worse, but the professional work of the workshop solved it well. Have a look at the ignition coil on yours. I'm no expert, but it could definitely be what's bothering your Octavia. Good luck!
