Worries with the Skoda Kamiq Diesel: symptoms and possible fuel pump problems

Hey guys, I'm really worried about my 2019 Skoda Kamiq Diesel, which already has 76,432 km on the clock. It shows various symptoms such as a lit check engine light, the engine just stalls, cold starts take longer, the engine loses power, runs rough and jerks when accelerating. Sometimes it won't even start. I have the feeling it could be something with the fuel pump... Have you had similar problems and what was your experience with the garage? I just don't want to be ripped off again like last time. Thanks in advance!

A 2019 Skoda Kamiq Diesel with 76,432 km is experiencing issues such as a lit check engine light, stalling, delayed cold starts, power loss, rough running, jerking during acceleration, and occasional failure to start. These symptoms suggest a potential fuel pump problem. A similar case with a Skoda Karoq was resolved by updating the fuel pump software and performing calibrations, which successfully eliminated the issues.

Hey, I completely understand your concerns. Had similar challenges with my 2017 Skoda Karoq. And yes, it definitely sounded like a fuel pump issue, in my case it was "incorrect software values for the fuel pump" according to the garage. My car also lit up like a Christmas tree and started cold longer, not to mention it sounded more like a tractor than a car. I went to a garage who did a technical check. And yes, it was indeed the fuel pump software that was causing the problem. They had to update the software and do some calibrations to get the pump running smoothly again. It was quite involved and yes, it is a serious problem. But since the repair I haven't had any more problems with my Karoq. Hope this helps you a bit.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! Great thing that they were able to solve your problem. Can you remember how much all that fun cost you? And have you had any other problems since then or has everything gone smoothly?

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! The repair cost me €45, which I thought was really okay for fixing the wrong software values for the fuel pump. Since the mechatronics technician got to work on my Skoda, the car has actually been running smoothly again. The defect in the fuel pump was rectified and everything has been great ever since. Not even the slightest problem like before. I hope your Skoda makes the same positive steps as mine again soon!

Hey, that's really cool! I'm relieved that it went well for you. 45.0€ is a really good offer, hopefully I'll be that lucky. Thanks again for the information and yes, I also hope that my Skoda gets better soon. I wish you continued good and trouble-free driving. See you then!
