Fabia 1.2 loss of power after running low on petrol

Featured Replies

Hi guys

Hope you can help.

Fabia 1.2 htp

Running real lumpy.

Ran it low on fuel and hasnt been the same since.

Starts ok loses power after a few minutes.

Changed plugs.

Could there be air in the system

Or would it benefit from a fuel filter

Any help welcome

Thanks

Further investigations show car runs lumpy.almost as if off on a cylinder only when it warms up.

Temp gauge stays in middle.

Doesnt appear to overheat

Probably a failing pencil coil pack. Common fault and cheaply fixed if you can identify which coil is at fault.  Have a look at the top of all three to see if there's any visual sign of failure, like bulging, burnt looking lumps. Could do with getting it plugged in for a fault code read really.
