Have an error code (garage confirmed, I don't have the specific code #) and symptoms of the fuel pump relay being intermittently faulty - but the garage could not find the fuel pump relay, it is not under the dash under the steering wheel (the 646 where we all expected it to be does the horn not the fuel pump) nor does it seem to be under the bonnet, please can someone with this make and model confirm where they have found it on theirs?

No power to Fuel Pump Controller on 2009 1.4 TSI

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/526608-no-power-to-fuel-pump-controller-on-2009-14-tsi/

 

In @icarusi@hotmail question they have written:-

 

"I had a look for circuit diagrams, but the one I found for 2009 was showing an FPR rather than a FPC"

 

If FPC means Fuel Pump Controller and FPR means Fuel Pump Relay then I strongley suspect that like @icarusi@hotmail you too have a fuel pump controller.

 

Where that is I don't know, maybe @icarusi@hotmail can advise.

On my 2009 TSI the FPC is under the rear seat, set into a recess in a black plastic plate, covering the fuel pump access hole. 

Thank you, and is the FPC ran off fuses marked for FPR and would the error code which says issue with FPR mean issue with FPC?

I had a quick look at my car today.

 

It too has a FPC. Yes the 15amp fuse does control it. I suspect it does throw the relay error as ebay listings also refer to it as a relay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simply lift forward the back seat behind the drivers seat and lift the flap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FPC lifts out of that slot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you pop off the round cover there is access to the other connection. Lift the red tab and it slides off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No tools required.

 

Replacement from ebay.

 

£18.99 for eBay item number:166876102990.

 

But a quick search shows up loads. VAG part number 1K0 906 093.

@tetleythank you so much, that's so helpful given Skoda themselves couldn't tell me, I'll order and do that myself 😊

@tetleyI ordered that and got my seats up etc., and it seems to be exactly the same but mine ends with a F, and now my car won't start with either plugged in, I don't suppose you know if the last letter actually crucial to the code or are they interchangeable and now I've triggered something else (since it won't start with either now)?

@ggpowell2

 

To be clear I am not an expert on these things. Like you I only realised a FPC existed on Thursday evening through reading the questions on here.

 

As far as I am aware the letter is a revision number and could simply indicate which factory made the FPC. I have replaced parts on my car with later revision letters in the past without issue. In fact I look for the latest revisions when sourcing parts.

 

Have you checked the fuse? It's a 15amp fuse in the cabin fusebox. Is there power to the FPC?

 

Also, did you slide the red tab down again to lock the FPC?

 

If the FPC had failed, then the only fuel to start the car would be in the fuel lines. Once this is gone the car won't start until the FPC failure is rectified. Where did you get the replacement FPC so quickly? Could it also be a bad part?
