Hey, thanks for the input! Your experience sounds pretty similar to my current one. I wouldn't have thought that it could really just be the software values. Can I ask how expensive the whole thing was for you? And did you have any problems afterwards, or did everything work smoothly? Thank you for your reply!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! I paid €45 to correct the software values for the fuel pump back then. It was really manageable and went really well. After the visit to the workshop, the defect in the fuel pump was also rectified. Since then, my Skoda has been running like clockwork and I've had no more problems. I hope that reassures you a little! It's really great how such a small thing can make a big improvement.

That's really reassuring to know, thank you! 45 sounds perfectly acceptable and the fact that your car has been running smoothly since then is really encouraging. I will definitely check with my garage and hope they can fix the problem just as easily. Thanks again for your help and advice. It's always good to hear from someone who has experienced something similar. Helped me a lot!

Hi, I drive a Skoda Superb (diesel, year 2013) and had similar problems to yours. In my case, it was actually the software values for the fuel pump that were set incorrectly. I was told at the garage that these are responsible for the correct operation and injection of diesel into the engine. I became aware of this mainly due to the jerking when accelerating and the occasional stalling of the engine. These symptoms probably indicate that either the fuel filter or the software for the fuel pump is incorrectly set or, in the worst case, the pump itself is broken. But don't worry, this is not a problem that should cause serious damage to your car. At least that wasn't the case for me. As soon as the correct values were set, my car ran great again. Hope this helps you!
