2009 09 Reg SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI PD SE - Fuel Injectors - tonnoir

Hi

I have recently been a victim of 4 x fuel injector failure in my 2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDi SE. I am considering changing to a 2009 09 Reg SKODA Octavia 1.9 TDI PD SE. Does anyone know which type of injector is used in the Octavia. I wouldn't buy it if the Siemens piezo injectors are used.

regards

tonnoir

Aren't all of the PD injectors manufactured by Bosch?

Even the 1.9 PD engines have Siemens piezo injectors after 05, they don't have the dodgy oil pump/balancer shaft drive though.

Were the siemens injectors only used from 2005 - 2006 ?

I thought the 1.9 used Bosch PD Solenoid injectors. The 2.0 seem to be the VAG cars that suffer from injector failure.

Hi,

I've been thinking of buying an approx two year old 1.9 TDI Octavia and have read about the injector issues. Given the debate about what injectors are fitted (e.g. see above), I contacted Skoda customer service, gave them the registration plate of an 09 example from a local dealer and asked who made its fuel injectors. The answer was Siemens. (I also asked if it had a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and they said it didn't.)

Having read quite a lot of bad things on the net about Siemens injectors on VAG diesel engines, my impression is that the Siemens injector failures are way more common on the 2.0 engines than on the 1.9 ones. Is that correct?

BTW, am a software engineer not a mechanic. So, apologies if any of the above is incorrect :).

Thanks,

Mark_Space.
