Hi guys .just bought a 2008 fabia and I love it even though I have a few other vehicles all guzzlers

I loving the functionality  of it ,it's a 1.4 estate .only real issue is  after it runs for a few minutes it starts hunting and running unevenly but if I just barely move the accelerator

It runs cleanly and if I drive it on its fine but stop and it returs to uneve  idle very lumpy

I have taken a video of the issue on vcds showing the injector values

Showing no1 as being dodgy

I replaced today and its till the same problem  ,just wonder could it be tps

Or has anyone had this problem that can help me 

Thank you in advance and love the site

You're not used to three cylinder engines are you, they're all a bit uneven at idle.

 

Nothing to worry about.

Thanks but this is a little more than uneven it's fluctuating between 8oo and 1100 revs roughly it ticks over fine if I barely  increase the revs 

Any ideasbout the throttle  position  sensor on these

Yes, it's a diesel, it doesn't have a throttle unless you mean the electronic accelerator pedal sensor.

Not sure what i mean just that the throttle  seems to clear the uneven idle if pressed a tiny bit

I'm going to take off the egr tomorrow And clean that as maybe  that can affect  it

Good idea.

Is VCDS actually showing injectors as a fault code, or are you just looking for those values based on an internet search. What model is it, and what mileage is it showing.
