I used the Skoda roof bars for the first time last week and I have to say they are fantastic, really easy to fit on your own, really clever design.

I changed this just before we went away last week, code has not reappeared in just over 1000 miles so hopefully that is another one ticked off. Thanks for the help.

RIP

Thanks for the replies, I think for £30 for a Bosch part I will just replace it rather than faff about, hopefully that will cross this one off the list! Cheers.

So, now the fuel leak is sorted I am turning my attention to three errors that VCDS has flagged up. I'll run a separate thread for each to keep everything tidy and searchable. So, we have P0113 Signal too high, The report, pasted below states G42 which looks like the one that is part of GX26 (Charge Pressure Sender). My questions are:- Have I located the correct sensor, as pictured below? Is it something that may respond to cleaning with carb cleaner or should I just replace? Log and Picture:- 20572 - Intake Air Temp.

I did mean to take some pictures but got so engrossed in what I was doing I completely forgot. The inlets all looked pretty clean, as good as any similar mileage engines I have dismantled in the past with conventional injection. This car has done 80,000 miles approx.

Thanks. Annoying that it is the full delivery pipe at £150ish. For now to get it back on the road I have used some high spec 8mm fuel hose with proper clamps to just replace the short perforated section, and the hose actually looks better quality than what was previously fitted. It is only about a 4" section between the end of the stainless pipe and the fuel pump itself. I will make efforts to find the PR code for this car, thank you. The guide I had found wasn't particularly accurate, no need to remove the high pressure fuel pump. It was a really easy job, couple of hours max and that was taking my time. I think had the injectors needed removing and resealing it would have taken an awful lot longer. I now have all the bits to do that plus the tool kit, more items for the 'stock room' :)

Reassembled with new manifold gaskets and bolts, ran with the airbox off, and bingo, got it! Pinhole in the low pressure delivery spraying exactly where the manifold was wet. I think moving it around to get the manifold off must have made it worse as it was really spraying out... I don't suppose anyone with the software could look up the part number for me please?

So I am at a bit of a dead end. Stripped down this afternoon. Top of the inlet manifold has some suspicious looking wet patches at the right hand side. Fuel rail bolts are fine and no evidence of current or past leakage below the manifold. The only two places I can see that fuel could get onto the top of the manifold are from what I think is the fuel delivery or return pipe, goes across the top of the manifold between the pump and the left side (but that looks fine), or is it blowing some out past the inlet manifold gaskets when cold? Is that even possible?

Well this tale may have a sorry ending. My daughter has used the car for a happy 30,000 miles but yesterday it misfired, rapidly declined to not running. RAC came out and a big bit of ceramic is missing off #2 plug, 6 month old plugs, very annoying. New plugs fitted and apparantly runs like a bag of nails. I am getting the car recovered from Bristol to Nottingham and I'll do a compression test but I expect the engine is done :(

Thanks, I am going to have a go at this hopefully Friday, weather permitting. Procedure looks fairly simple, the only odd thing I don't quite get is it says to remove the high pressure fuel pump, I can't quite see why that is necessary but may become obvious as I strip it down. That said, the procedure I have is for a slightly earlier model.

I have the same model and ordered the genuine Skoda roof bars from the Czech Republic. Unfortunately they arrived damaged so I am having to claim. Depending on where you are you need to factor in VAT/Import tax. I looked at Thule and other alternatives but decided with the glass roof it was best to stick with what Skoda have designed.

Update: I have all the parts now to do the fuel rail but really not convinced that is the problem yet. Yesterday there was a smell again on cold start and the areas in the pictures, on the lip of the air filter box, right hand side, were wet with fuel. After 2 to3 minutes driving the smell had gone and the areas in the photo were dry, and the car was fine for the rest of the day...

So my shopping list is:- - Injector Seal Tool Kit - 06M998907 - Repair Kit (Seals) x4 - 04E133036A - Clip x4 - N10546403 - Fuel Rail Screw x 4 - 036129717E - Inlet Manifold Seals x 4 - N10738801 - Manifold Screw x 5 I saw in one procedure someone ordered WHT001386 and WHT003246, Charge pipe top and bottom seals. Is it worth getting these as well? Also, I saw someone doing the job on a VW similar engine and the injectors have a 'cage' fitted, something like this but I don't see any mention anywhere else?

Is this what they refer to as the 'Teflon Gasket Ring' which looks like it needs very precise positioning?
