Could Low Battery Cause This Glow Plug Fault?

[AndyCr15]

If you can swap it over without coding, then you're wasting money on the garage.

I guess my concern is, we don't know it's the battery 100%. I charged it for 8+ hours yesterday, plus nothing else has really indicated the battery has struggled other than one warning after I turned it over for about 10 seconds without it starting (even then, it turned over quickly the whole time). I released, tried again and it started instantly and I never saw the warning again. I think I'd be happier with them checking everything over. On a Skoda forum, someone had these errors and it was a little comms box in the engine.

Have you checked SoC?

It is unlikely, given I don't know what SoC would be in this context

State of Charge

Is there a specific/official way I check that? I left it on charge for over 8 hours yesterday and my charger had it at 8 out of 10. (Started at 3 I think)

This

Or you can also check with VCDS

Nice, thanks. I will try and remember to check later (or tomorrow morning)

This video is for Octavia, I presume the procedure is similar for Superb, if not, I'm sure someone has shared how to check this on the Superb on Skoda forums.

For VCDS you'll need VAG COM HEX V2 Interface (One from China/Ali will be ok).

Lol, I thought it meant Skoda Owners Club

Ahh, could have been! I only knew it as System on Chip... which didn't seem to fit.
