Hi, i’m hopeful somebody will be able to advise me on a starting issue I'm currently having with a skoda octavia 1.6tdi (2016).
Essentially, the car when driven under load was throwing up a p0087 - low fuel pressure fault, and went into limp mode, this reset when the car was switched off until the next time under heavy load.
Now, this seems to have progressed to the extent the car cranks and wont start, i have on occasion got It to start, following which it reverts to the above mentioned symptoms.
Plugged the diagnostic in - when cranking and not starting, the fuel rail pressure ranges from 70-120 bar, commanded value is 350.
when it starts and is idling, the commanded value is 270 bar and measured pressure is also 270 bar.
The low pressure side up to the filter and Hpfp is good.
i have worked through the electrical circuits while following the haynes repair manual, and have come across the following discrepancy which i hope this forum will clear up.
for pin 1 of the fuel pressure regulator valve, with ignition on, it advises voltage should be around 12v, however I'm measuring 2.7v.
the next step would be to measure somehow at ECM output, which i think will be difficult as its enclosed using shear bolts.
Would anybody have a Skoda wiring diagram for this, are there any other connectors before ECM or should the indeed be 12v?
my concern is that the 2.7v may be normal and the ECM route is a red herring..
any comments on the above greatly appreciated..
