Hi all, ive just bought a fabia vrs 05 plate. Ive not even driven it properly as its not insurance hasnt started till sunday, ive driven it down my road and back maybe 100 meters and eml came on and it cuts out when its idling. It chugs a bit and cuts out. 

 

Ive scanned to see what fault codes it has logged. 

 

Wondered if anyone else has had anything similar? The faults will clear and light goes off but will come back.

Check fuse 24.

Ive found fuse diagram on this website, no 24 is engine electronics

Hi i am still trying to sort this fault out, car wouldn't start today and have since replaced the vacuum solenoid cont unit, once replaced it fired up straight away, been for a 20-30min test drive and all seemed ok, however light has come back on and now getting a wiring fault

 

Has anyone got an engine wiring wiring diagram for an 05 fabia vrs please? 

 

Thanks 

 

Adrian

 

Did you check fuse 24 as suggested?

@Adrian55555 the wiring diagram you are looking for is one of the documents available here: MK1 Fabia workshop manuals - SKODA Fabia - BRISKODA

That is where I found that a blown fuse 24 would be consistent with several of the fault codes you posted before.

Thank you so much. Ill have another look. 

Ive rechecked fuses and all ok. But what i have found now is that car will not start. It has started on a couple occasions and cut out straight away. Only way i can get it to start is to unplug the pipe connectors on the vacuum solenoid.  I have also unplugged the pipe going into throttle valve as i suspected it was throttle valve issue causing it to cut out. With the pipe off and as soon as i plug the connector back into the vacuum solenoid it shuts the valve causing it to cut out.. 

 

I am now very puzzled and wondering if its piped up wrong 🤔

 

Has anyone got a picture or diagram showing which vac pipe goes where?

Can anyone help by taking a picture of the vacuum solenoid showing the pipes and numbers pls 

Don't know if it will help, but about half way down this post Few Little Problems - Skoda Fabia Mk I - BRISKODA is a diagram of the vacuum pipes.

 

May not be your engine though.
