hi guys ,

need a bit of advice ,have octavia 1.9 tdi 110 bhp 2006 [tour] 320 km on it .story goes was driving it the weekend and it gave a miss ,and engine felt rough .turned it off and restarted and it seemed ok again .thinking dirty diesel ,pull a jett cleaner into it and filled the tank .next day didnt start first time ,but it did the second time ,and later that the day again gave a miss ,no management lite coming on .gave car to local inde ,replaced fuel filter and a valve ,as well brakes and disks i asked him to do .he said drive it and see if problem sorted .thing is when i went to start it today ,only started on the second turn .... im thinking and i havnt realy a clue would it be the fuel pump on the way out ???? had a new turbo fitted last year ,tanks for any advice

I have a 2005 Octavia and had the fuel pump replaced when it gave up the ghost. The dealer said thats its common enough problem.

I would be asking them are they 100% sure the ecu will fix the problem before telling them to go ahead with the job.

I'd ring around a few skoda dealers in the north and see what they would
charge for the job....I'm not sure about skodas but maybe they could try a
ecu download...Thats what peugeot do...
