Hello and greetings to you guys. 

Well i have skoda octavia 1.9tdi ,2009 model. From some days  i am facing a problem. My car engine shutdown anytime and it doesn't start again. But leaving  it for some time,  15 to 30 minutes. It start again and go for few kilometers. Here i would like to mention that no temperatures related fault is being displayed or neither the temperature meter go on red side. Niddle stays at mid. But when i go near to engine i feel its hot,  not like extreme hot but. Hot. 

 

Problem:-

1)Fresh start goes 10 to 15 km and than engine shutdown without showing any fault

 

2) after engine shutdown. When i try to start it again,  it stars but don't stay steady. Within 2 second it shutdown again 

 

3) than i lock my car wait for 15 to 30 minutes or more to start it normally and can go for few kilometers 

 

Things to mention  :-

1) engine oil is at its good level, checked 

2)water tenk at good level checked

3)15ltr diesel in tenk

4)no temperatures warring 

5)engine speed sensor is being shown once and bing reset. 

6)glow plug sign flasing (it can be due to my faulty rear brake bulb) 

7) most of the time when i switch off my car ac this thing happens

8) there are two fans near radiator, when i start my car after 30 minutes of brake after engine cut.  they are still and when i start ac they both started.

 

Please help me. What could go wrong

Check both the anti shudder valve and EGR valve - both of which are vacuum operated on the 1.9. Try disconnecting the vacuum pipe on each one and then running.

 

Another question - does this car have a Diesel Particulate Filter (most 1.9's don't but some later ones do - flashing glow plug light, "hot" and fans operating suggest it might have). If it does have one then this is probaby something to do with the issue.

Could be a crankshaft sensor fault especially if it was throwing up an engine speed fault also temperature sensor worth having a look at

6) When the glow plug light flashes, the most likely brake fault is the pedal switch, and all 3 brake lights will be disabled.

 

8) One fan, not both, running slow when the AC (or climate control if fitted) are on is normal function.

Yup it was faulty engine speed sensor. 😂🤘
