Hello everyone,
The car is SKODA OCTAVIA 3 FACELIFT 2019 - 2.0 tdi 150 ps. DSG
The car has 55 000 miles.
Yesterday I did a full service and when I opened the fuel filter I saw that there was some junk at the bottрm, like small particles.
The old the filter itself looks perfectly clean. Here is a picture of it:
I immediately unscrewed the HPFP control valve and and I inspected it visually
Here are some pictures of the well and the strainer on the valve itself:
Everything looked perfectly clean except for one very small fragment that had stuck to the strainer:
Since the car is out of warranty I consulted with the Skoda dealer and they said that all other Skodas have such debris in the fuel system and much more. So they had such cars at 200,000 miles and they had no problem.
Here in Bulgaria the fuel is very low quality and there was often such garbage at the gas stations. My question is - is it possible that this fragment passed through the fuel filter and went to the valve strainer through the HFPF pump?
Otherwise the engine works absolutely perfectly and the nozzles are with normal adjustments
