Skoda Praktik engine issue

Yeah, I did read the codes, and it points to a faulty rail pressure sensor signal. That's why I'm leaning towards replacing the sensor. But I'm curious, when you had the issue with your Megane, did the error code specifically mention the fuel pressure sensor, or was it something more generic?

Okay, since you got a specific code, it definitely points to the sensor. In my case, the error code was related to fuel injection, but after some digging, it turned out to be the rail pressure sensor as well. Replacing it solved all the problems. If you're not super comfortable with car repairs, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop. Messing with the fuel system can be tricky.

Took the Praktik to a trusted mechanic, and they confirmed it was the rail pressure sensor. They replaced it, and the total cost was around 240€. Now the engine runs smoothly, no more check engine light, and the stalling issue is gone. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Whoa, sounds frustrating! I had something similar happen with my old Renault Megane, though it was the diesel engine version. The fuel pressure would fluctuate like crazy, and the car would sometimes just cut out. Check engine light was always on. Have you tried reading the error codes? It could give you a more precise idea of what's going on.
