thanks now i see it, how do you get it off? and is the sensor inside? .

I`ve looked into what engine I have and I believe its the AUB version, my car is a 2001 1.4 16v Fabia, I`ve downloaded all the pdf`s off the mediafire site but none of them are for the AUB engine :( Even a basic drawing in ms paint will do .

Hi, I have been getting the egr insufficient flow error, Ive cleaned the throttle body but have no idea where the egr valve is for me to remove and clean, I`ve read descriptions but still dont get it....does anyone have a pic or even a basic drawing? .

On my Fabia its the plastic underneath the steering column that rattles, it took me a whole year to find the rattle as I thought it sounded like it was coming from higher up in the car. When it starts to rattle I just push or pull the plastic under the steering column either to the left or right and it goes away. .

Just a bump as I am keen to make a start .

Can anyone else comment who have done it themselves, whether you do have to remove the gear linkage?. Thanks. .

My starter motor has started sticking for an extra second, I would like to remove and refit so I was wondering if there a specific guide to do this?. I remember seeing one for a VW but don't want to get stuck halfway through....oh and is it an easyish job to do?. .

Read this thead Here one of the symptoms is a Hugh draw on the battery which drains it faster than it can charge, thus a dead battery.

I tried to get one cheaper than the £115 from skoda but nothing, I too saw the eBay one. . Thought I had found a bargain until I noticed it was for a left hand version. I was tempted to pop into my local scrappers but the other half said no. .

I went down the battery route first as it was the cheaper option... I always try the cheapest things first Battery cost me £65 for a Bosch and later £115 for the sensor and fitting on top. .

Have you had the steering angle sensor checked?, just had mine done after intermittant loss of power steering and its all back and working now. .

Thanks for the reply devonutopia, apart from my dealer where can I source the part? Checked the local suppliers and even visited ebay, I will call round my local independents who work on skoda or vw's to get a more realistic labour cost.

I`ve narrowed down the fault on my fabia 1.4 16v (2001) to the steering angle sensor (thanks to the search function), my dealer wants £120 and another £130 to fit it (DM Keith Huddersfield)....which to me seems alot. I can`t do it myself as I cannot get the car up high enough, what sort of labour cost should I be looking at?. Cheers

I`ve had this problem, took me ages to sort it out, anyhow....(cannot sync baud rate) error, just change the baud rate from 0 to 9600 in the program options of VCDS . I found it better to restart the laptop and turn of the ignition for at least 20 secs after making any changes. If you get poor latency go to the com port in device manager change the latency from 16 (work downwards...ie 12/8/4/2) .

Mine failed because the orange indicator bulb....wait for it.......was not orange enough!. Remember what the insurance companies are like, anything they can find to get out of paying out they will use it...so why give them a reason?. .
