Skoda Rapid fault code issue

Yeah, I tried using a generic OBD-II reader to reset the codes, but the fault code keeps coming back. The error message pops up on both the speedometer and the infotainment system. Could it really be the coding itself? I'm no expert, but is that common?

Ah, if the fault code returns even after you reset it, then yeah, it's probably more than just a simple glitch. When that happened to me, it turned out the car's computer needed some kind of reset. You should probably take it to a workshop; they'll have the right diagnostic tools to figure it out for sure.

Turns out my local mechanic found that the car's coding was messed up somehow. They recoded it, cleared the fault code with their OBD-II diagnostic scanner, and everything seems to be running smoothly now. Cost me 360€, but at least the check engine light is gone. Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it!

Whoa, that sounds annoying! I had something kinda similar happen with my Skoda, a Fabia. Kept getting weird error messages. Did you try using a diagnostic scanner to reset the codes? It might just be a glitch.
