Thanks for this. Iv ordered a map sensor. Comes tomorrow.... hopefully that stops the ticking. - its strange cos its not noticeable when driving at like 20/30 mph. Just when idle / little revs

I got the car scanned at the garage and it brought up code P010600 - manifold absolute pressure / barometric pressure range / performance

Car has a ticking noise that just happened today. - car drives fine - no loss of power - no engine management light - scanned with my car pal , no engine faults found - went into live data and it shows a fault on fuel system B2 Any ideas? Im wondering if my scanner isnt good enough to pick up any faults. Thanks people

Can only go on what my experience was

Hi just wondering if anyone in the central belt in scotland have had this replaced and if so what cost approx? And where? Iv read you need specialist equipment and its approx 6hr job Cars on 84k

I had already spent money on the injectors. Reconned fuel pump was 500, and it was another 480 to do it (approx a day) all the fuel lines, rails etc and the tank had to be cleaned. Time consuming - diesel specialist adv me to run it into we buy any car and cut my losses right enough

Similar issue on mine. I put my injectors into diesel specialist who cleaned them and tested them. Hp pump replaced for 500 recon'd and full clean of fuel system. New filter and car drove spot on. Mine was a 18 plate

Ideal so basically change it when it goes...what's the deal with bleeding these systems? Do I need software or the old typical fill the reservoir and let it release air itself? Sorry about daft questions, just want to know lol

Jeez you'd think they'd just have upto date information, otherwise you end up guessing at it. Very confusing lol. I don't even care what needs done etc. I run my cars as "if it needs it, it gets it" and usually use genuine parts or OEM. My first ownership of a dsg.... but couldn't believe how well it drove and also how economical it was. Just hope it's reasonable around town etc

Yeah I get that. How do know what gearbox I've got?

I'm not sure, the paper work was a print out from the 'skoda authorised network' I'm gonna get the car a full service at 40k, sparks pollen Air etc done. Garage I bought from have just done oil and filter service but I'll do that again at 40k

Does the gear box not need done every 40k?

Ideally it won't be near the main dealership.... it was just reading along the lines of the timing belt tool and it apparently not being as straight forward.

Nah what it was I just bought one yesterday... 19 plate with 33k on it. Full skoda history - 1.5tsi dsg. Drove it back from Glastonbury to Glasgow...400 miles approx and it ran at 58mpg. I was well impressed. I had seen somewhere about the 5yr thing being scrapped. I phoned my local dealership (hamilton) and they advised 5yr or 140k. Phoned Glasgow and they said fitted for life but said their recommendation would be change about 100-120k. When you say the waterpump doesn't need done? Does it not run off the same system on this engine?

Hi guys, forgive me but what is the story with the timing belt and water pump on this engine? I've read it requires specialist equipment? So I take it that's not the usual cam locking tool? I had a look and skoda offer fixed price for £973, does this include the waterpump? Any one got a 1.5 tsi act and had the timing belt replaced? Cheers

So I got a call yesterday. That's my injectors been stripped, cleaned and rebuilt however they found metalic paste, small metal shavings. Pulled the fuel filter housing open and I have a few flakes there - albeit not as bad as I expected. I have bought a high pressure fuel pump and now have to get the full system flushed out. Is there a product that would be best to use when flushing it out?

I use shell as I have a fuel card for them. I use the same garage 99% of the time...can't say it's the same pump lol. I'm going to mention to them about the fuel etc if this is all sorted tomorrow... iv always avoided supermarket fuel

Aye Iv always treated it as if it needs it gets it, i dont scrimp on servicing etc. I use mostly genuine parts...occasionally Mann when servicing. Car is used as a Private Hire buy has been excellent to date. Just this is the biggest issue I've had to be fair and if its just dirty fuel that's not even a major issue.

Fingers crossed 🤞

He's got a snap on diagnostic machine. Iv only got a wee cheap code reader but I really should invest in one lol. Cars done 145k, after what iv just spent, injectors, timing belt, water pump, crank seal, front brakes and an oil change I'm hoping to double that mileage... car should be more than capable

Yeah I Will do. Need to drain the tank...there's about half a tank of fuel.... then put new clean diesel in with a system cleaner and prime through the fuel lines and pump. Gonna use a different petrol station and also put either BP ultimate or v power and fingers crossed resolves it

Update. 4 injectors pulled and sent away to a diesel engineering specialist who have called this afternoon to say all 4 are clogged with dirty fuel. So they will professionally clean them and ill have the tank drained and lines cleared out etc Hopefully cures the issue

The injectors were brand new out of the packet. My brother in law (has his own garage) did the job for me so I can only presume everything done correctly

Update.... there is now a foul smell coming from the car. I can't tell if its smokey etc. It is very jumpy when trying to accelerate in like 1st and 2nd gear.

Yeah and it would he dsg ideally
