My daughter owns a 2002 Skoda Fabia Automatic and on the whole is quite pleased with it. Recently, however, the car has let her down on four occasions when the EMC lights have come on. Twice the problem has appeared to be down to the switch under the brake pad and twice the fault has read air-conditioning (not fitted) and referred to the throttle under the accelerator pedal. The local garage has "reprogramed" the ECU at a cost of £40. Is this likely to solve the problem? She needs the car to be reliable to travel between patients in her work in the NHS.
