I'm having problems with my 2007 Skoda Octavia elegance 1.9 TDI. Automatic Estate.

 

It starts first time every time when cold but when the engine is warm I have to turn the ignition on twice. The first time it runs slightly and then dies as if starved of fuel but when I restart the engine it runs fine every time. I am hoping someone has the answer to this problem as apart from this quirk the car runs very well.

 

Kind regards

Stick 'hot start' into the search bar at the top right of the screen, you will get lots of good results.

 

Quite a common problem with the Octavia, although unfortunately there are several potential causes.

 

Good luck.

Shouldn't you be called  Unluckysteve

 

Hope you get it fixed Mate

Thanks for the advice Silver 1011 I will try that. Kind regards Steve.

I'm having problems with starting my 2007 Skoda Octavia elegance 1.9 TDI estate when the engine is warm. It starts first time every time when it is cold but when the engine is warm I have to start it twice. The first time it starts but almost immediately stops as if starved of diesel but when I immediately restart it the engine starts and runs fine. I would be grateful for any ideas as to the problem and how to remedy it. I've already replaced the injector seals and secondary fuel pump but the problem persists.

 

Kind regards

With the amount of repairs I ended up paying for after purchasing this car you are spot on.
