  1. Hello, I had typed a reply but doesnt seem to have posted,no its not just when clutch is pressed its anything really,i drove it today and got alot worse,cutting out and missing on aceleration,engine management light had came on so i was thinking ok thats some positive but after left car for 20 mins and restarted the engine management like disappeared so not sure if stored fault till can get to garage,but got alot worse for sure as i thought seemed to be when car got good running time but now even after 15 mins driving from cold it is shutting off and missing when driving 😞
  2. Hello all again lol i have a skoda octavia 1.9 2009. 144k miles ...serviced recently and new fuel filter this week along with new timing belt .. so to start i broke down last Fri (8 days ago) it started by missing when acceleration and few miles later just conked out AA man cleared the fault and when garage got it they couldnt find anything wrong,the car was running fine and in fairness the mechanic kept it for 2 days himself and drove wicklow to wexford and no problems, i took it back on weds and id say i done 100 miles and was no trouble so i was due timing belt in few k miles so i brought it back thurs and got that done...collected thurs evening,no issues and went to work earlier,driving for around 3 hrs and same thing happened as previous fri when stopped,,just conking out usually when i was coming to a stop,it would restart each time but gradually as night went on it got worse,restarted all the times but the last time was bit harder to get it going,it feels like its missing when acceleration sometimes but not all...no engine management light up tonight,im thinking it hasnt even logged a fault because no engine management light...totally random it conks and then runs fine even coming to a stop,,,then just acts up again...pleaseeeeeeee has someone any ideas,my head is wrecked
  3. Hello folks, I have been having issues on starting,it is very very intermittent meaning after 3 hrs driving it will just give problem,i changed ignition switch but did not help and no fault codes coming up at all,car is driving great and no other issues . i changed crankshaft sensor last yr,temp coolant switch,and starter..i might add i am by no means mechanical minded haha i done some investigating yesterday morning and found main earth lead was a bit corroded on the chassis under battery tray area which is connected to the gearbox from what i can gather research online,i cleaned it up and lastnight it just gave 1 start issue once after 4 hrs and went fine for another 4 after it...i think it has made a significant improvement, as i said im only an not great with mechanics and locations but can the other end of the earth lead which apparently leads to the gearbox be accessed from engine bay or do i need to go under the car?i have obviously no ramp,i have looked online but cant see any videos or steps to get the job done...any advice please ? and of course do you think the earth lead is the culprit ? before cleaning yesterday after a few hrs i would have been cranking quite hard to get it started. The video is lastnight after cleaning, (the oil like flashing is sensor which gone since before last service,the guy was meant replace sensor in sump BUT FORGOT) lol car start.mp4
  4. Hello all, I am only new here but i have been researching for last few weeks a current problem on 2009 skoda octavia 1.9tdi 118k miles on clock,it starts first turn when cold all the time but when warm will not start unless untill cools down,firstly i thought may be a fuel problem so changed fuel pump but no fix,i disconnected the coolant temp sensor and starts all the time so i changed coolant sensor no fix,i read about remapping it to copy the cold start to hot start to trick icu but after speaking with a company they said my problem is mechanical and not software so next step i got crank shaft sensor changed but again no fix,after alot of reading i dont know if to change cam shaft sensor or just change the starter,there is no error codes coming up,i have read about the starter issue and it seems to have fixed some.Anyone any advice of success fixing this?i have spend alot of money and no fix yet and getting extremely frustrating :( apart from this problem i have had no issues whatsoever with the car,timing belt was done at 80k miles and serviced regular.
