Cut Out & Error Codes 5134 & 5179
Hello everyone. I have just joined and own a 2012 2.0 TDI 170. On Thursday night my vehicle cut out whilst on a roundabout on a wet night with wipers, heated seat, heater all on. The engine turned over but refused to re-start, with the warning lights flashing. The recovery driver who brought my car home suspected the fuel ecu. On the next day the RAC came out to transport the vehicle to Skoda Crawley Down. Diagnostics by the RAC showed error codes 5134 fuel regulator control circuit low and 5179 fuel regulator control circuit 2 low. The garage have initially reported that they have changed a fuse, but have not yet found the reason for the fault, but will continue to road test to try and replicate. Has anyone else experienced this please?
Whilst I was only on a short journey, it was a wake up call to everybody in this cold weather to carry additional clothing/blankets in the car. Whilst waiting an hour and a half in a car at low temperature for a recovery vehicle without heating, it can get very cold. Fortunately I had a blanket but no gloves - which were in another coat!
