Hey, thanks for your answer! My Octavia already has 167890 km on the clock, and I've only just had my last service. Your experience sounds very similar to my situation, so I'll pass on the suggestion about the fuel pump software to my mechanic. Thanks for your tip, hopefully it's a simple and cheap solution for me too!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! Your mileage and exact model sounds like my case. I would definitely ask your mechanic to check the fuel pump software. It could be that's where the fault lies. If it is, you've got off lightly - and 45 euros less. Keep your fingers crossed that it gets fixed quickly! Let me know when you know more. Have a safe journey!

Hi, I experienced something similar with my Skoda Superb (built 2015, diesel). I would rate my knowledge of cars as low, but I had the same symptoms as you describe. My mechanic found that the wrong software values for the fuel pump were responsible for the problems. It was a fairly simple fix, only cost me 45 euros. Could you please share more details about your car such as the exact model name and how many kilometers it has run? That might help me to give you more specific advice.
