car conking out randomly,missing on acceleration randomly

Featured Replies

Hello all again lol 🙂 i have a skoda octavia 1.9 2009. 144k miles ...serviced recently and new fuel filter this week along with new timing belt .. so to start i broke down last Fri (8 days ago) it started by missing when acceleration and few miles later just conked out 🙁 AA man cleared the fault and when garage got it they couldnt find anything wrong,the car was running fine and in fairness the mechanic kept it for 2 days himself and drove wicklow to wexford and no problems, i took it back on weds and id say i done 100 miles and was no trouble so i was due timing belt in few k miles so i brought it back thurs and got that done...collected thurs evening,no issues and went to work earlier,driving for around 3 hrs and same thing happened as previous fri when stopped,,just conking out usually when i was coming to a stop,it would restart each time but gradually as night went on it got worse,restarted all the times but the last time was bit harder to get it going,it feels like its missing when acceleration sometimes but not all...no engine management light up tonight,im thinking it hasnt even logged a fault because no engine management light...totally random it conks and then runs fine even coming to a stop,,,then just acts up again...pleaseeeeeeee has someone any ideas,my head is wrecked

Does the engine stop when coasting to a stop at a junction for example, with the clutch in?

 

I had something similar with my 2.0 PD tdi VRS, also had a stumble/stutter in the mid range.

 

Mine was the DPF pressure sensor, I'm not sure does the 1.9 have a DPF?
