Considering Fabia Estate1.0 tsi purchase. Advice please.
Scottk replied to mark999's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Our one is 3 years old and 60,000 trouble free miles so far. Got a 4 year warranty as I was a bit wary of the 3 cylinder but it has been great. Just change the oil every 10k for piece of mind. -
Just noticed Amazon had 2 x 10l with a filler hose for £16 delivered. Was thinking about getting it as adblue is supposed to last 18 months.

You can buy bonnet bras or some companies will fit the clear plastic film to protect the front end. It’s called ppf (paint protection film).

Probably need to go to the dealer and it will be pricey.

And then you go to the US and the gallon is different again!! -
Help needed for parts and availability
Scottk replied to Scottk's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Thanks. I got a headlight from eBay but that one you linked is a good price. I managed to find a good used one for £115. Just waiting for another quote to replace the wing, so far I have been quoted £500 and £800!! Just a bloody bolt on job! -
Hopefully someone will manage to help with my query. This weekend our fabia was damaged when one of the kids hit a deer. Luckily it's not too bad but we need a front headlight (drivers side) and a new wing. Any idea the best place to get them and the cost. I have seen some headlights on eBay for around £200 and no idea about the wing. i will replace the headlight myself but will probably need to get someone to fit the wing! The headlight has the led running lights.

The 1.0tsi certainly doesn't go like a rocket but performance is adequate. If she want more power, you might try a polo gti. Golf is bigger and aligned with the A3. Really depends what she is using it for. Our Fabia 1.0tsi is great for pottering about, the daily commute and we do take it on the motorway but if I am going for a run, I prefer the S3 but that isn't a fair comparison. The Fabia is comfortable and brilliant at what it does (ours is a manual as the kids were learning to drive and they use it too).

Things You Might Not Know About Your MKIII

Definitely one in ours. Never been out of the wrapping but it is in a long slot under the passenger seat. Can't get a picture as I'm not at home at the moment. -
July 2017 Fabia 1.0 tsi 110 SEL manual. Red with black colour concept city brake thing and parking sensors. Got it the middle of July and now almost 5000 miles.

I used my hp washer before fitting them with no issues. The worst bit was trying to find the holes which are sealed over. I am also going to fit some noise reducing matting but will probably only do the boot area and rear arches as there is nothing there as standard.

To turn off the climate control, turn the fan button all the way down and it switches off. Umbrella under the passenger seat. Start / stop button to switch it off is on the right hand side near the lights The fog lights switch on by pulling the light control. -
Fabia - PCP OR HP/ Polo or Fabia
Scottk replied to lp_brentford's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk III (2014-2021)
Also bear in mind that if you are applying for a mortgage soon, a PCP or HP application will show on your credit report. -
This is an SEL but only electric front windows!!

It's a hatch although the picture above makes it look longer. Plenty space in the rear seats too.
