Hi everyone, I wonder whether anyone can help me? I have a Fabia vRS MK2 with a factory fitted Amundsen sat-nav/stereo. My system has stopped displaying the track artist and name of song, when I play a CD. It just simply highlights the number of the track, i.e Track 1, Track 2 etc. I'm probably being a bit thick here, but is there a setting I've turned off by accident or is this a fault? Anyone had similar problems, if so, how do I rectify it? Cheers Bingo

Who has had their twincharger longest?
bingo765 replied to Brian69's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
First vRS had 3 years from new, CAVE engined. Sept.2010 No engine replacements and not a drop of oil used. Second vRS had since Sept. 2013 CTHE engined. No engine replacement so far but definitely an oil user when I drive it hard, which I do regularly in Sports mode. One thing for sure is that the CTHE is definitely more powerful so I guess I can forgive the moderate oil usage for the wider grin on the face -

Fabia Mk2 vRS Meet - Santa Pod Sat 16th May 2015

Just like to say it was great to meet a few of you on Saturday, all very nice people as well. There was a nice array of colours too! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the fabias give the others a good run for the money. What cracking little cars we have! Hope to meet up again in the future and if work permits, maybe stop over next time. Cheers :cocktail: -

PURCHASED! skoda vrs RED! service history log
bingo765 replied to thomasaspin's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Thanks for the reply. I get what you're saying.According to my invoice I was billed for £3.50 worth of oil so my mistake,it wasn't completely changed,just topped up. I think I need to drain the oil completely myself and fill it exactly with 3.6 litres. Then there can be no doubt of the starting point. Only then can I get to the bottom of this. Cheers merry XmasB-) -
PURCHASED! skoda vrs RED! service history log
bingo765 replied to thomasaspin's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Hi goneoffski, you do seem to be the most knowledgeable about the oil issues so would appreciate your opinion. I had a cave engine that I didn't have to top up once in 3 years. I now have had a cthe with 23000 miles and just about used 4 litres of top up oil. For the extra performance of the cthe engine and I am certain it's more powerful than the last, I think the oil use is pretty reasonable considering. However, I had my car serviced at 20000 miles. My oil was replaced. My oil light came on at 22500 miles. Can you give me your opinion on this, I already know what skoda have said but value yours,is this acceptable oil use with this mileage?( ie 2500 miles to oil warning light) The oil level is below/at the lowest point on the dipstick,so how much oil is needed to take up to the top of cross hatch? Many thanks bingo -

Hi congratulations on your purchase! Welcome to a rare breed of Fabia vRS owners who must have the best 'value for money' performance cars on the road today ...Yes,there are good ones and bad ones but try not to get too engrossed in all the problems or it will take away all the fun you should be having. You're warranted til September 2015 so that's good news so just keep an eye on things for a while,log every phone call,get things in writing and more importantly enjoy this little car! -
I had one, 2005 Black magic. Beautiful car, but a very different animal. I was genuinely sad to see it go but am more than happy with the signifcantly improved performance of the mk2. Although not a fan of remapping cars, the mk1 had enough scope for doing just that, without too much of a risk. The main problem with the mk2 is that it's highly strung enough already. The perfect combination would have been the vrs Mk1 body with the vrs Mk2 engine. Now, I think Skoda would have sold more if that had been the case!
