Skoda Roomster Engine Issues

My 2007 Skoda Roomster with a gasoline engine is giving me headaches. Mileage is at 124380 km. Check engine light is on, engine stalls at idle, and power is significantly reduced. I suspect the fuel pressure regulator is defective and it could be related to the error entry after I recently changed the fuel filter. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Roomster a while back. Check engine light, stalling at idle, felt like I was towing a boat uphill. Have you checked the fuel rail pressure? Might be a pressure drop somewhere in the fuel system. I'd also look at the fuel filter, maybe it's clogged or damaged. A bad fuel filter can definitely mess with the fuel regulator.

Fuel rail pressure, you say? How did you test for that pressure drop? And where is the fuel pressure regulator located in the Roomster? I changed the fuel filter recently, that's when the problems started.

I didn't test the pressure myself, I took it to a workshop. They told me the fuel pressure regulator was the culprit, and that it could be related to the new filter causing a spike or some other issue in the fuel system. If the problems started right after the filter change, that's a big clue. Maybe take it to someone who can check the fuel pressure properly? Could save you a lot of time and wasted fuel efficiency.

Turns out it was the fuel pressure regulator. I replaced it myself for about 45€. The engine runs smoothly now, and the check engine light is off.
