Skoda Rapid: DMTL valve fault?Greetings, I currently have a problem with my 2017 Skoda Rapid petrol engine. It has recently started showing some strange symptoms, e.g. the check engine light comes on, there is a lack of engine power, the engine runs rough, there are jerks when accelerating and it dies at idle. I have a suspicion that it may be due to the DMTL valve fault. Have any of you had similar experiences and can give me some troubleshooting tips? I would like to know what was done in the workshop and whether the problem was then solved. Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the additional information. I had a similar problem with actually similar mileage. In my Octavia it was like this, DMTL valve and the lines were OK, but the tank ventilation system had a crack, so it couldn't maintain the pressure. Replacing it helped and since then the symptoms have disappeared. From my experience, I can only advise you to have it checked at the garage. Perhaps you have a very similar cause. Of course, this is not a remote diagnosis, but perhaps the reference to the tank ventilation will help. Good luck!

Hi, I have had such a similar experience with my Skoda Octavia, 2015 model. I have little experience with cars, but remember the chaos this caused. In the end, I took my car to the garage and it was discovered that the vent lines from the tank to the valve were faulty. The repair cost me 205 euros and the car has been running smoothly ever since. Can you please provide more details about your car? That way I might be able to help you even better. Things like mileage, whether automatic or manual transmission, would be very useful!
