Right guys, I have changed the fuel filter and fitted a new fuel pump relay, problem remains, when trying to start she usually fires first time then conks out and you have to turn it over for ages constantly pumping the throttle until it eventually fires up. Any ideas?

lol, me too

I ordered one it came today, excatly the same problem, have they sent the wrong relay?

Anybody??

Hi guys, can anybody please take a photo and mark up which relay I need to change for the fuel pump relay, car has been struggling to start of late and have not heard the fuel pump scoosh noise you hear when turning the ignition so have purchased a new relay, I know it is above the pedals somewhere but have not had a look yet, would be a reat help if somebody could snap a quick pic and mark which relay I need to change. Cheers

Cheers Stevo, I have just ordered the new filter and will order a new relay as well for all that it is, cheers anyway mate.

Right I am going to change the fuel pump relay as I cannot here the lift pump priming anymore and the fuel filter. This relay is on ebay for £15 will it be ok?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-VEMO-Fuel-Pump-Relay-V15-71-0005-V15710005-/191235203550?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3AFabia|Cars+Type%3A1.9+TDI+RS&hash=item2c8681a1de

Seems to be getting worse, just seems to be when cold, starts ok when been already running. Do not seem to here the scoosh noise I used to here when you first turn the ignition on any more either.

I think the crank sensor has been replaced last year as well, It would not start when in the garage and they did replace a sensor, it probably is due a service to be fair.

No lights on dash mate

Starter working fine, turns over

No mate runs fine

Ok will do cheers Steveo

iIt had a new battery in December and had the alternator pulley done in November last year.

Hi guys looking for a bit of help, recently my 2005 VRS has developed a strange problem when trying to start, it starts and fires straight away but immediately conks out, you then have to keep it turning over pumping the throttle until it eventually comes to life. Running ok once started. Cheers

Lol mine too

Think it may have been bashed on the passenger front door. lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Fabia-VRS-SE-TDI-Limited-Addition-/201351798578?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ee1809f32

Yes dude, still waiting lol :p

Never mind ordered from ebay.

I have this exact problem and the push clips are indeed missing from under the bumper, where can I get these?

Use the search function mate, this has been well covered and there is a guide on here somewhere.

Looks awesome mate, well jealous.

Contact your nearest Skoda dealer and book an appointment to have it checked and photographed, they will also run a magnet over to check for filler or previous damage. If you are going to book it in give your car a full once over and write down any bubling, check where the back bumper meets the quarter panel and also check for any galv spots. Get it all done under your 10 year warranty before it is too late. I got mine done last year, both quarter panels, sills and a new tailgate done all under warranty.

Love the Pulsar by the way, I used to run a Primera GT but always lusted after a Pulsar/ GTI-R.

Cool cheers bud :-)
