Skoda Fabia VRS Hybrid

[Taylor477]

Hello everyone

The time has come for me to sell my 2006 Skoda Fabia VRS as I have purchased a new car!

 

I purchased her May 2012 on 64000 miles with 1 years Skoda Warranty on and she has been brilliant to me!

I would not be selling her unless I had reason to, and that reason is a new car that I have paid the deposit for, so unfortunately she must go.

 

 

2006/55 Skoda Fabia VRS 1.9TDi

108381 miles (the mileage will rise daily)

2 Keys

Fresh MOT will be supplied

 

 

Engine

- Custom Built (by Top Tune in Poland) Stage 3 PD130 Hybrid Turbo with 7-blade billet wheel

- Sachs performance clutch with dual mass flywheel rated for over 360lbs/ft

- EGR & ASV Delete

- PD160 Air intake

- Airtec FMIC with complete aluminium pipework to the EGR delete.

- Piper Exhausts 2.5" De-Cat Downpipe

- Full engine head rebuild during head gasket replacement less than 2000 miles ago. 

- BM Conversions remap to be done next week to roughly 220bhp along with a fresh MOT. 

 

Suspension & Handling

- Seat Sport front struct brace

- PB Coilovers Mono-tube setup with Linear Springs for sharper performance which are fully Height & Damper adjustable with pillow-ball top mounts

- All SuperPro suspension bushings with Anti-lift kit (perfect for keeping the power down) & PowerFlex 65shore Dogbone engine bushing. 

- 312mm brakes with brand new Pagid discs & pads

- 17" Octavia VRS 'Spider' alloys (these are in need of a refurbishment)

- Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on the front with Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on the back with plenty of tread left

 

Interior

- Kenwood BT60U Headunit

- MTX Roadthunder 8" subwoofer

 

Exterior

- Freshly resprayed front bumper done by Banburys Bodyshop in Segensworth.

 

 

A bit more information:

When I purchased her she was completely standard and she has been thoroughly looked after and

has never had any issues except for a Camshaft position sensor which was replaced under warranty.

The engine & turbo work has only been completed within the last few thousand miles and a new remap

is going to be done by BM Conversions in Southampton.

 

 

There are some negative bits:

- There are a few stone-chips on the bonnet.

- Alloys could do with a refurbishment. 

- After roughly 6 months of owning her I accidentally broke the lever that lets the larger split of the rear seats forward.

  Fortunately this has never bothered me as I have never needed to put the rear seats forward.

  This can be repaired by a professional and the kit can be purchased from Skoda.

- Unfortunately when I purchased her she did not have full service history stamps as a previous owner had lost the booklet however

  she does have all the receipts of any work carried out & she was fully verified by a Skoda Dealer when I purchased her.

- I had the recent work performed by a good friend of mine who is a fully certified and qualified mechanic which means

  that there is no stamps for the most recent services at 94k & 106k.

 

She will be available when I return from holiday 26th June with a new MOT & a professional valet.

 

I am aware that VRS's have been going for upwards of £4.5k in similar condition so I believe I am pricing this fairly.

 

Please do not hesitate to message me regarding any questions you may have.

 

Car is located in Hampshire.

 

£3850

I am open to offers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I shall add more pictures shortly!

Just out of interest, how do you do for fuel consumption with the hybrid turbo set up?

Hybrid gets better mpg as turbo is working less.

Generally 3-5 mpg increase

I normally get around 57-59mpg. Long slow journeys I will see 65mpg+

Short town trips and is normally around 45mpg

How does the car drive in traffic with the uprated clutch?

How does the car drive in traffic with the uprated clutch?

I opted for uprated organic-plate clutch with Dual Mass flywheel therefore keeping standard clutch feel but with increased performance capabilities.

Thank you for your reply I remember when I bought a Nissan Pulsar GTIR with an uprated clutch it was like pushing a brick through the floor and impossible in traffic.
