Skoda Roomster Diesel Engine Issue

I had a similar issue with my Roomster. Check engine light, and the car felt sluggish. I would inspect the VANOS solenoid valve, and its wiring. A faulty solenoid can definitely cause variable timing issues and trigger those symptoms. Have you checked for any engine misfire codes?

Thanks for the suggestion. Where exactly is the VANOS solenoid located, and is it something I can check myself without special tools? Also, how did you confirm it was the solenoid and not something else?

The VANOS solenoid is typically located on the cylinder head, near the camshaft. You can visually inspect it for damage or loose connections. I would advise against self-repair without experience. In my case, the workshop confirmed the VANOS solenoid was faulty using diagnostic tools to check the variable timing system. They observed the solenoid was not responding correctly. I recommend you to visit a professional.

Took it to the workshop. It was the VANOS solenoid valve. Replaced it, and the check engine light is gone, and the fuel consumption seems normal again. Total cost was around 250€.
