Skoda Scala ABS and Steering Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Skoda Scala owner experienced issues with the ABS light, a vibrating steering wheel, and increased steering effort, initially suspecting a connection to low tire pressure. A fellow owner suggested checking tire pressure and considering a slow puncture as a potential cause. After confirming a low tire and inflating it, the problem persisted, leading to the discovery of a defective valve in the tire. Replacing the valve resolved the issues, highlighting the importance of addressing tire pressure and sensor-related problems promptly.

Thanks for the quick reply Yes, I checked the pressures. One tire was indeed low, but not completely flat. I inflated it to the correct pressure, and the warning light is still on. Could a punctured tire really cause all these issues, even with inflated tires afterwards

Yes, definitely. Even if you inflated the tires, the system might need a reset, or the tire might be losing pressure again. The vibrating steering wheel and ABS light are concerning. It's possible a punctured tire has damaged the tire pressure sensor. It is best to take it to a workshop to get it checked properly. A defective valve in the tire could be the culprit causing the low tire.

Thanks a lot I took it to a local workshop, and it turned out to be a defective valve in the tire. New valve, inflated tires, and all sorted for 280€. I appreciate your help

I had a similar problem with my Scala recently. The ABS light came on, and the steering felt heavy. Have you checked your tire pressure on all tires Even a slight pressure difference can trigger the tire monitoring system and cause those symptoms. If one tire is significantly lower than the others, you might have a slow puncture.
