VID-20180701-WA0000_001.mp4put a recon turbo on my 2006 fabia vrs and it has started to whine since. Literally havent even took it off the drive .. anyone give me any advice before i start stripping it down again

Another update as the car is now fixed and running fine, turns out it was the lift pump was at fault and not holding pressure causing fuel to run back to the tank.. thought id post and let you all know and for anyone with the same symptoms , hopefully this thread will help.. after i changed the pump i had a fault code removed and since then it starts like a dream. Cheers for your help fellas.. (il post a picture of the fault code for anyone that wants to see it.

I changed the temp sensor when i serviced it around 2 weeks ago , the part was from euro cart parts so could be a dud but it seems to get up to temp ok and stays at 90, i have also noticed today what looks like a small leak around the bottom of the tandem pump so when i have it to bits over the weekend il be able to get a better look , ive also put jubilee clips on the fuel filter pipes to try and rule an air leak out from there, but other than that im completely lost on it

Right, i have a little update - i had the car plugged in to vagscom and the fault codes showing was temp sensor ( which i replaced ) and misfire on cylinder 2.. i have ordered the part to change the loom in the hope that it may cure the problem but im in need for some advise as to whether the loom will cause the hard starting or could possibly be the injector seals / injector at fault? Thanks for any feed back in advance

I think i may have found the culprit

Thanks for the feed back guys, i am gonna test the plugs and check for leaks in the fuel lines over the weekend so il post if i have any luck solving the problem or not

Also ive noticed that the plug light only briefly flashes on and off again?

Ive changed that only last week along with the service i did on it. its fine once its started, i cant turn it off and back on again and no problems at all

Hi , i have recently bought a skoda fabia vrs mk1 , its started to develop a problem starting in the morning where i am finding myself cranking it over for atleast 10 or 15 seconds, i have tried to give it a few heats (letting the plug light go out a few times before turning it over) which sometimes helps but not always, ive been told perhaps change of battery or the glow plugs are shot? Any ideas ?
