Hey, thanks for your reply! From your description, it does sound very similar to what's going on in my car. Do you happen to remember how much it cost you to replace the injection pump back then? And have you had any other problems with the engine or anything else since then? I've now also realized that our carts are not untouchable... I hope to see an improvement soon. Thanks again!

Hey, no problem! I remember being charged about €640 to repair the injection pump at the time. But since I went to see my mechanic, the fault with the fuel pressure regulator has been fixed. Since then, my car has been running like clockwork again - no further problems with the engine or anything. So, take it easy and keep your head up, man! With a bit of luck, your Seat Arona will soon be back in top form. Keep us up to date!

Thank you very much for your help! Well, that gives me some encouragement that this doesn't necessarily mean the end for my little runabout... 640€ is quite a lot, but it's better than buying a new car. I'm really pleased that you haven't had any more problems since the repair. I'll definitely do some research and let you know how it goes. Until then, have a good time and thanks again, man!

Hello, I have a seat arona fr automatic petrol with 45000 km. We changed 6 injectors in two years, without finding the problem. Can you tell me if other people have this problem.
It's quite unusual to have to replace injectors so frequently. This could be due to poor fuel quality, a faulty fuel pump, or an issue with the engine control unit (ECU). I would recommend having a mechanic perform a thorough inspection of your fuel system and ECU to identify the root cause of the problem.
Let our mechanics help you!

Hey, I had similar problems with my 2016 Seat Ibiza. The same thing with the engine light, smoke from the exhaust, high fuel consumption and stench. I found out that it was a bigger issue. It wasn't the fuel pressure regulator, but the injection pump, which was really giving my engine a hard time. The jerking and stalling at idle also strongly suggest this. Maybe it's similar for you, but I'm not a mechanic, so off to the specialist. I hope this helps you a little. Our boxes are just not perfect. All the best, man!
