Fabia Diesel Engine Trouble

My 2003 Fabia diesel is acting up. Fuel consumption has gone up, engine power is down, and it stalls at idle sometimes. Noticed some smoke when I accelerate too. Suspect it's the injection system at fault. Cable or plug connection maybe defective. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with my Fabia a while back. Loss of power especially when accelerating. Have you checked the air filter? A clogged filter can mess with the air/diesel mixture and impact performance.

Air filter is new. Was your issue exactly the same? Smoke on acceleration and stalling too?

Ok, the air filter was just an initial check. Yes, similar symptoms especially the power loss and rough idle. For me it was a dodgy connection in the injection system as well. I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. They should be able to pinpoint the fault quickly.

Appreciate the insight. I booked it in. They were able to diagnose the cable and connection issue to the injector system pretty quickly. 95€ all in. Runs like new. Thanks again.
