Is there anybody there???????

My central locking is not working with the ignition key. I have changed the battery without a positive outcome. Any obvious checks to identify the problem or even fix it?

Thank you

Anybody know of a breakers yard that specialises on mk1 Fabia vRs’s? South of Birmingham towards Bristol would be ideal, but I am willing COVID permitting to travel.

Front passenger door. Inner I think. The inside handle has broken from the link with cable opener so the passenger cannot open the door. it opens from the outside, but not the inside.

I would like to purchase a passenger door handle for a Fabia Mk1 VRS 05 reg. Nobody seems to have one. Anybody know where I can get one?

Thank you for your speedy response. That is a really good data point.

As we are old and “modern”, we are looking at converting from diesel VRS mk1 Fabia and diesel VRS mk3 Octavia to a 1.5 Tsi Karoq. Just done a test drive and was NOT impressed with the 1.5 engine in normal mode. So the salesman said use the sport setting. Now that was a lot better. Even sorted out an individual setting with only the throttle in sports setting. Now the bad thoughts start to creep in. How much worse is the mpg in sport compared to normal? i know it is wrong, but we have been spoilt by driving beautiful cars around.

I actually know of a person who has taken an old power unit from a Tesla Model S and put it into a VW Splitty Campervan. Have not seen it yet, but the anticipation is wonderful. But really haven’t considered it for the Fabia..............yet!

Now that is interesting. Been stuck in the diesel camp because of this VRS. Will look into this one.

The Bluemotion donor is wrong in so many ways. Fugal while being good, I am looking for the other f (fun).

A new car is not as much fun as this car. Also we have a new car, but I am old and weird and just love driving this smooth pocket rocket. Told you I was weird.

From Wino’s reply. Like the retrofit kit for particulates. But it is basically maintaining the long term running of this car with a little bit of conscience. Thank you Wino

Would a Euro 5 compliant engine fit? Would it involve the whole drive chain change? Not impossible?! Written off recent VAG car with “nice” engine and gearbox in it could be possible. Getting the new taxation class would also be fun.........and expensive. Thank you
