SilverRoomster

Thanks for getting back to me - it's actually a wheel bearing kit we are trying to order - do you think it will be a 1ZC too?

Also add it's aTDI - code is either 1ZC 1ZG or 1ZY.

Looking for the PR CODE on a 2016 skoda rapid space back SE sport. Can't find it on the stickers or service book. Any ideas - thanks.

I have a Skoda Rapid Spaceback SE Sport TDi 1.4 needing a new battery. it currently has an AGM batterty. Ive been told when I buy this battery it needs coded in - is this correct? I've had a quote of £258 from Kwikfit who says it may or may not need this coded - obviously can buy cheaper online but no good without coding?

Just to let everyone know in the same position I was in - it turned out to be the camshaft sensor needed replacing (£30). Had it on a small diagnostic device and this time it showed up as a problem with camshaft. The altanetor also needed replacing, but dont think this was contributing to the starting problem, was probably more to do with the fact that the car hadn't been used for months due to the starting/cutting out problems. So far, so good, been using the car again for a couple of weeks and no problems starting. Hopefully thats the problem fixed.

Many thanks for getting back to me HMR - No glow plug flashing, just takes ages, when the engine is hot/warm to start and then whilst driving cuts out - obviously very dangerous. However when it does cut out it starts and drives again no problem. It also starts from cold first time. I'll have a wee look at that wiring you spoke about and see how I get on. Thanks for your help.

Thought I would repost this problem about difficulties on starting Roomster. been on diagnostics twice - no problems found!!! Starts no problems from cold but when engine warm/hot it has difficulty starting.but will eventually start. However when driving after the difficult start it will cut out - once stopped it will start again and then drives no problem. Any ideas anyone?.

Our Skoda Roomster still having issues starting - sometimes!!!! Always starts first thing but at times difficulty getting it started again when used for either long or short journeys. What we have noticed is when it has difficulty starting it will drive fine for about a mile then cuts out - quite dangerous!!! Leave for a minute or two then fires back into life, although to start with the rev counter goes quite high after it catches. Been twice on diagnostics and nothing showing. Anyone having these problems? Time for another car I think.

Can someone tell me which relay is it for the fuel pump. This diagram is one I posted earlier on this page ofnthe relays under the steering wheel. Having some problems with the engine cutting out whilst driving after it's taken a wee bit longer to start. It's done it a few times so while trawling through the posts on here someone suggested it could be the fuel pump relay at fault. Putting the key to the off position and leaving it for a minute or so it starts again no problem when switched on. Someone suggested it this may reset the fuel pump relay. Someone very kindly tried to help when it cut out yesterday - he was a recovery driver - suggested the problem was fuel related. No faults have been recorded when attached to diagnostics.

Not been using our Skoda much these last months but have noticed on the odd occasion that we have trouble starting it turning the ignition on as HeavyMetalRich suggests does seem to work. So at least that particular problem may have been overcome - for now. Thanks for your advice HMR 👍🏻.

Wondered if anyone has a solution for the intercooler pipe popping off at the top end of the engine to the left. Lugs are definitely worn but wondering if this could be fixed or a new pipe required. Cable ties only slightly effective, but still get slight roaring noise and engine cutting back, as airnseems to be still getting in. It's not the bottom of hose as I've read in various other posts on here near the headlight but the top end.

Yea it turns over and I think we have also come to the conclusion it's a fuel issue too (but what?). I've read on here that it could be so many things. When it does start there are no issues with driving it (short or long journeys). I would take it to a local garage but if it starts then nothing would show on the computer read out. Any suggestions gratefully accepted!!!!

Same sort of problem on our Skoda Roomster - have a look on all the subjects on the forum about intermittent starting problems which I've found helpful.

I'm afraid after all this time we seem to be having the same problem. We left the Roomster sitting for a few weeks and didn't use it - when eventually we did use it again, it fired into life every single time for about 2 weeks. Then it started its nonsense again. Believe it or not when we thumped the top of the dashboard the damned thing burst into life when turning the key. It starts no problem in the mornings but after a run that's when we have difficulty starting it again. It's intermittent and doesn't do this every time the car is used but still can't get to the bottom of it!

New relay fitted this morning and glow plugs now working - we've had intermittent starting problems (added my comments to an existing post re this) - new battery fitted, new glow plugs and replaced faulty relay. Hoping that this works but will report back in a few weeks time to update. It may help others in the same situation.
