Skoda Fabia 1.4 16v 2005 - Hard to start, will not rev up cleanly - Fixed #

Posted by Paul Chard on January 16, 2013, 3:31 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2005
Engine Size and Code *: 1.4 16v
( Optional ) Scanner Used: SOLUS. VAG COM

Car brought in by RAC hard to start wont rev up clean and engine smokes badly. Scanned system and only 1 code sensor 1 oxygen sensor fault. we have replaced that. Seems like plugs are fouling up.temperature sensor readings are OK. There seems to be a lot of crankcase pressure when oil filler cap is removed. Car fills workshop with what seems to be oil smoke.possibly a blocked breather?any advice would be grateful.

>>> only 1 code sensor 1 oxyen sensor fault. we have replaced that <<<

What testing was done between the code read and relacing the part ?

Sorry its taken so long to respond as weather as held us up a bit. You were right David we did drain tank and yes there was diesel in with the petrol. Strange as when we removed injectors it smelt like petrol. Car belongs to a elderly lady and she says she has not put diesel in but some one did. Also where it had been trying to run on a mixture of petrol and diesel it has damaged the cat.

Thanks again for your help.
