The question

My 2004 Skoda Octavia petrol engine died and would not restart. It has a good battery. Any ideas?

Hi Terry,

It's very difficult to assess such an issue from afar I'm afraid. Is the engine turning over (i.e. the starting motor is fine)? Is there fuel in the tank? Is the fuel pump in the tank working? Is there spark? Has a sensor failed and there's an electronic problem?

You'll have to bring the car to a mechanic I'm afraid. Best of luck with it.
