What's wrong with my Octavia?

sometimes when I start my 2010 skoda Octavia 1.6d it cuts out buy restart and its ok and sometimes it loses power and engine light come on but turn it off and restart its fine again for a few days any idea what the problem might be

Our answer:

Hi Frank,

It's very difficult to analyse issues like that from afar, but it sounds like a half-broken wire to a sensor or a sensor that is faulty or on the way out. Best bet is to get the car along to a good mechanic and start by plugging it into a diagnostic machine. Even that might not pick up the issue of course, so leave the car with the mechanic for a few days to experience it for themselves.

Best of luck
