Octavia won't start ( 2000. 1.9 TDI)

Featured Replies

Hello,

So I have problem my Skoda. Sometime it won't start, engine cranks, but nothing happens. Problem accures rarely. Few weeks ago it accured whole day, when I switched engine off and wanted to start my car again. It took 3 -5 times cranking when engine finally starts ( Taking key out every time and in again)

Two days ago and Yesterday it happened again. I went to the store yesterday, everything worked fine, and when going home, it didin't start, only engine cranks. After 4 -6 times cranking, it finally starts. There are no errors or fault codes.

I Made video. Everytime video shakes, it's because engine cranks

I would check the fuel system for air leaks, plus get someone with VCDS to check the pump timing. Also might be worth replacing the fuel filter and the 'O' rings in connections on it.

There is no air in the fuel system.
Weird part is that after multiple times cranking the engine,( I but ignition on and off), it starts instantly and engine works properly.

from the way the fuel guage behaves I would start at the battery and work from there   voltage, earth, connections, cranking voltage etc
