FabRed

Just to update. I did the disconnect 30 idle 30 procedure yesterday and it has definitely made a difference. The previous owner was a woman driver and I can only think she never drove the car to it's full potential because it picks up and pulls better than before and doesn't feel as sluggish. Gonna get some Wynns EGR cleaner next, and clean that through. The car is having a service next month so will be having everything checked over then.

Thanks jamwatn, will give this a go on my day off this week and will let you know how I get on

Might try this on mine as my old mans fabia vrs feels a lot quicker than mine and they are both standard. I'm guessing I wont get any dash lights come on or have to put anything like a code back into the radio because I'm disconnecting the battery for 30 mins will I? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd rather ask than have problems later lol

I would definitely say the heat shield is the problem. Had this exact same issue about two weeks ago. Got underneath the car to find heat shield is only being held on by two of the four original clips or whatever you want to call them with the other two completely missing.

Are there Red ones in there as I can't tell the difference between red or orange lol

Any ideas as to where in Bristol they are as I can only see Banbury on their website?

Completely forgot to mention that I've got a cruise control stalk with all the wiring given to me which my dad gave to me that I haven't had fitted yet.

Near Bristol bud

Oh and I meant to say, it can be exterior or Interior as well

It's my birthday next week and I'm gonna have £200-£300 to spend and was thinking of getting a few bits and bobs for the FabRed VRS. Haven't had the car long so can anyone recommend the best upgrades to go for with this kind of money??? It can be mechanical or cosmetic, I just want some ideas.

Can you send me some pics and let me know what colour you have please bud.

Thanks lads, I shall reassure my old man further when I speak to him. He hasn't had the car that long, swapped it for petrol version as he has began doing more mileage so changing to a diesel made sense. I've only just recently become an owner of a Skoda Fabia VRS and I've enjoyed my ownership of the car so far :-)

Thanks Pasty :-)

Ok booke23, thanks for that. :-)

Ok, I will advise my old man who didn't realise this fascia trim existed via Skoda, Many Thanks
