Skoda Scala Engine Stalling and Check Engine Light

It happens randomly, not only after refueling. The engine stalls mostly when idling, like at a red light. How did you solve your problem? Was it really the fuel tank ventilation?

Yes, it was the fuel tank ventilation. The purge valve was faulty, which caused a leak. The workshop confirmed it with a leak detection test. They told me it's a common problem. I suggest you go to a workshop to get it checked; they will probably tell you the same thing.

Wow, thanks a lot for the help! It was exactly as you said, the charcoal filter was defective. I had it replaced at the workshop, and they also did a leak detection test. The final bill was 275€, but at least the check engine light is off, and it seems to be running smoothly. Hopefully, my fuel efficiency will improve now!

I had a similar issue with my Skoda Scala. The check engine light was driving me crazy! I think it might be related to the fuel tank ventilation system. Does it happen often, or only after refueling?
