Hi all

Skoda Fabia VRs TSI not starting

Hi all had this message up on Vagcom any ideas

Before replacing the sensor look for ruined wire, vacum leak from intake to for exhample the brake booster or the pcv system, or it can be a timing issue, according to the notorius timing chain in these engine be sure is not that, also look at the MAP sensor if is clogged or similar.

Notorious Time Chain issues are with the CTHE not a CAVE but yours is 16 years old now. Sorry i can not see your Fault codes, i will take a look later when i can enlarge and use a magnifying glass and my specs.

true, but the car in his profile is a 2010 it could be a CTHE?

However it could be a chat that is due for a replacement because Is stretched, in the picture there is the vin I could try to see which engine does it have

It could have had a Transplanted CTHE engine, but that would need to be after CTHE,s when introduced in 2012.

It's a CAVE manufactured: 18.10.2011, so no notorius timing chain issue, but could still be a timing chain problem, look if you can see in via vagcom the value in % for the timing chain elongation, the replacement value is 5%

The voltage reading at terminal 30 I think is battery voltage so at 12.109V seems to be low and will probably drop further when cranking which may be affecting starting etc. I may be wrong but maybe battery is low and could do with a check/charge.
