About Fuel Injection Relays

The Skoda fuel injection relay basically acts as an ON/OFF voltage control switch, allowing an electric current to flow to the fuel injectors that supply fuel to the cylinders of the engine.

The Skoda fuel injection relay will be housed in the relay box, usually found underneath the dashboard. The relay connects to the car's battery, as well as connecting to the specific part that the relay is functioning, in this case the fuel injection pump.

In a diesel engine fuel injection is essential but petrol engines also have fuel injection systems. In a fuel injected engine, the electric fuel pump/fuel injector injection pump operates with a fuel injection relay, and works by spraying a light, high pressured mist of fuel from injectors into the chambers of the engine, controlled by the computerised control unit, which manages the timing of this process. The fuel injection relay opens and closes the contacts that provide voltage to the fuel pump/fuel injectors. The injectors are fitted close to the inlet manifold, one for each cylinder, and are all calibrated (adjusted) to equally spray a mist of fuel into the intake of each cylinder in a sequence controlled electronically, for the sequential firing of the engine. The overall result of this ensures the engine is working to its optimum, providing more power and fuel efficiency.

When you need to change the fuel injection relay, a good quality Skoda fuel injection relay will guarantee a part that fits well, performs properly and has a long service life. Relays can fail because of oxidisation, overheating or due to a faulty connection in the relay socket. Faults can occur with the electrical contacts, relay coil and wiring. The connections can overheat and corrode. If there is a problem with any of the relays in your car, the warning light should illuminate on the dashboard.  It's always a good idea to consult with your mechanic when fuel system problems strike, to make sure the correct fault has been indentified. It's important when replacing the fuel injection relay to buy a part that will be compatible with the make and model of your vehicle. Buying the Skoda fuel injection relay will guarantee you get the right component that's designed specifically for the make and model of your car.

Skoda trivia

• Famous graffiti artist Armando Gomes once painted a Skoda with 125 different types of paint. This was done as part of a bespoke order for an anonymous buyer.
• In 2004, 1.8 million Skoda cars were registered in the Czech Republic. There are only 3.7 million cars in total that have been registered there, which means that almost half of all the cars available in the Czech Republic are Skodas. Every Skoda sold there is matched by a planted tree.
• The Skoda Kodiaq has some surprising features, many of which have been seen on later Skoda models. Some of the more 'out there' accessories include the ice scraper that is stored in the fuel cap and the umbrella that has its own dedicated space in the driver's door.
• The team that designed the Lamborghini Miura and the Countach also designed the Skoda Favorit.
• Skoda started off in Czechoslovakia, but they are now owned by a German company, while their cars are actually built in Europe.
