Hello all, new to skodas so wondering if anyone could help. 

I have a mk2 fabia 1.4 diesel, I was happily driving down a duel carriageway and a flashing glow plug light comes on, anywho, long story short changed injector no. 2, started ok, went for a drive (in limp mode) and a injector bolt snapped, blew out 2 Injectors and been unable to start it since. Does anyone have any idea where do I start, it's all put back together complete with a flat battery. 

Any suggestions would be truly welcome 

Thank you 

I suspect the injector wiring loom was damaged during the unplanned excursion, use an auto electrician or just replace it if it tests faulty.

Many thanks for your reply, what would be the best way to test for faults on the loom? 

Cheers

You need to check continuity from the injector plug back to the loom plug.

 

Call a mobile auto electrician if this is a problem for you.

OK, many thanks for that, also would that prevent fuel getting to the injectors as I'm not seeing much fuel in the pipes

What pipes?

The ones going from the fuel rail to the injectors themselves, lots of diesel coming out of the fuel filter

You may have a common rail pump or fuel pressure regulation issue.

It's not possible for you to safely test this yourself without the proper equipment, you need to find an indie VW specialist near you.

In order to check continuity from the injector plug back to the loom plug, would I have to do it by removing the Ecu and finding on the plug there as I'm finding it hard to see where the wires go from the injector plug. They seem to go underneath the engine. I may have to call in a auto electrician but that sounds costly. Thanks all

no, follow the injector loom from the injectors back to the plug on the engine head, check the continuity from there to each injector.
