                  Well, been to a skoda forum member house today, to have my car fault code read on their vauxcomm of our equivalent. Random faults, but it points to over voltage or 'can gateway' over voltage. So reset the code, went for a drive with the guy, all is well, he had his laptop plugged on the test drive and battery is charging ok, no issues. All is well.

                  About to leave the chaps house, turned on the ignition argh new errors and warnings, called the guy back, he reset the codes again, all fine again, so i left his place, halfway home, the warnings come up again and with the new errors like the ones i had when i turned on the ignition. Driving me nuts.



                  I continued testing when i got home round my local roads.

                            I want to find out what the issue is, then let him know what needs doing. Don't want to take it to the dealers just yet. Doubt the local indy can fault find the problem if its electronic.

                              Yup. have my doubts about keeping a modern car for long time. In case these things happen.

                                Found out the power steering is full electric. Wonder if its something to do with wiring for the power steering, cause the problem only occurs when i turn left. But the strange thing it only does it when the warmed up.
