Skoda Roomster Engine Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2007 Skoda Roomster with a gasoline engine experienced issues such as the check engine light being on, engine stalling at idle, and reduced power. The suspected cause was a defective fuel pressure regulator, potentially linked to a recent fuel filter change. After replacing the fuel pressure regulator, the engine issues were resolved, and the check engine light turned off.

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.

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.
