Hello i have just bought two skoda`s and one of them are having a strange problem i hope i can get som help sorting out!
This is a Skoda Octavia 2005 1.6FSI petrol with 126000km on the meter.
This is the problem:
Once the engine has had time to heat up, after about 20 - 30 mins of driving there can be what feels like a misfire / choke / judder / hesitation - where the engine feels as if its braking for a split second before picking up again. Most recently on a 60 mile drive.
It has occurred whilst cruising at motorway speed, on a and b roads - and at different speeds.
I regularly drive the car and on many days it runs trouble free.
On idling when the fault is there it sounds like it misfires.
I have changed coilpacks all four,spark plugs and fuel-filter, i have also had a visual check on the fuel pump control modul
It only happens when car is warm og not cold, i have read a lot about problems with the cam follower and hpfp pump ,this part has never been changed/checked on my car. If this was the fault should i not get this fault when the car is cold to?
There are not any fault codes from my ecu.
Hopes for some inputs on this :-)
