Hello,

My wife has a 2011 Fabia which she loves, but it has been a bit of a problem child (partly due to botch repairs / cheap parts before our ownership), we have had it nearly 5 years, and in the last 2 years it has gone through 6 injectors (waiting on the 6th one being done, was only swapped 3 months ago!)

We and our garage are stumped as to why, the fine filter was checked last time and found to be clear of debris, we have started using a different place to fill up as our nearest had work done on their tanks just over 2 years ago, and we think that might have something to do with it.

We love the car but have thrown so much money at it!

Where ever you fuel will have Filter from the tanks to the Pumps then the pumps have filters. There will be hundreds or thousands of diesel vehicles in your area that fill up there so surely local Mechanics would see many cars with FUEL issues. Did your 1.2TDI get the Emissions Fix carried out, new Software / Engine Management applied?

Has it ever been mis-fuelled with petrol, to your knowledge?

How many miles done to date?

We have never miss fuelled it, got about 110k on it.

Yes had the recall work done once we got the car and realised it was still outstanding.

Had a new dpf/cat about 3 years ago as there was a hole in the cat

One of the mechanics at the garage said he has gone through a few injectors in his car (non VAG) in the last couple of years too

What a pity you had the Fix done but then at least your car is still going which is not tru of many 1.2 TDI,s that were done.

The fix was done early 22, and has run fine since apart from going through injectors the last 2 years!

I had the fix done on my previous Octavia (2011 mk2 1.6tdi) which then needed an egr and 2 injectors replaced within 5 months of it being done. Never had any more issues with it after that though.

There were many that never had The Fix because not compulsory and of no benefit to the owners. They might have had issues, but many will not have. Sadly there is something far wrong with your car or the Injectors supplied.

Our garage likes to use OEM or equivalent, the ones fitted to ours are Delphi, who made the originals as well

Took the car away for the weekend, did 260ish miles, mix of motorway, dual carriageway and A roads...

Ran fine until we started it up to come home, revved higher on idle and the coil light started flashing. Turned it off and back on and it was as normal.

Had a few seconds of shaking at 70 about the halfway point but nothing else after that.

Would old glow plugs be a cause of the issues?

Another idea I had was could it be the cam angle sensor?
