Hi Yes had major service in September book stamped and have invoices haven't really checked to see exactly whats done just that it says major and minor services carried out, the hard start issues hasn't reared its head again its more the shaky start this is only for a few seconds when started and is worse when cold not sure if the fuel itself could be an issue so may try a better quality when I fill the tank up at the end of the week

Will try and get a video up however as its warmer seems to improved. Not sure about air and fuel filters surely a main dealer would change this when due wouldn't they if a full service. I have also noticed that when cold there is a kind of whine or hum or buzz however you want describe it that accompanies the shake this isn't present when started in warmer weather. The whine disappears when the shake does.

Could the glow plugs cause the shaky start where can i get them tested?

Well car went to Skoda a week ago and they couldn't get the engine to shake on startup so got it back, however since the temperatures dropped yesterday and this morning it has got worse it kind of felt like a momentary hesitation too as it started the shaking was for about 4-5 seconds, this is only when cold I.e startin in the morning also notice for a few seconds there's like a buzzing noise albeit faint which also disappears this comes from the front of the car

Thanks for that still getting used to the car what's the whirr noise is that air

Hi All Im just curios have a 1.9 TDI PD and when the engine is turned off, for about 1-2 seconds I hear a whir then dumpf type noise no shaking or other noises just that does anyone know what it is.

Hi always had diesels pretty much, but the symbol that came up was the cornering lights symbol which is weird usual its fires up immediately was wondering if these have lift pumps that can be problematic.

Hi All 4-5 Weeks ago i bought a 2009 fabia 1.9 tdi pd with dealer FSH and only 15k mpa on the clock anyway a few issues have started over the past 2 weeks or so first of all on the odd occasion it would shake in the morning but only for about 5 seconds the run smooth this has happened 2-3 times, then on a couple more recent occaions its hard to start and the corner light symbol flashes up is this an injector issue or is there a low pressure pump in the tank that could be cuasing the issue.

Bought my skoda fabia 3 estate 2009 just over a week ago paid a little more than book price but only has 15k on the clock full dealer history and new cambelt and pump bought it as spend most of my time on the motorway, anyone got any tips on this car or things to look out for.
