Thanks guys. I think it is either the HDS & JNC gearbox code, so question answered!

Does anyone have the speed in each gear at 2000rpm for a Fabia vRS 2006 to hand? Thanks.

I did change dealer after the 20k service as the original one closed, so their version of the 30k and 50k service could well have been different. I just booked them in as 30k and 50k services and left the rest up to them. The brake fluid change was included with the 20k and 40k services. I suppose I took a bit of a chance with the cambelt and let it go slighlty past the four year limit.

Hi, I have updated the thread with the latest service and MOT cost. I also forgot to add the VAT to the 40,000 service so I have also amended that. I have also had the Cam Belt changed and all 4 doors sealed and the trackings sorted (all at the same time). I had the parts for the turbo and intercooler as goodwill as the car had a full Skoda service history, had only covered 27,000 ish miles and was around 6 months out of warrenty. To be fair the dealer was extremely helpful with this. I didn't even ask for the goodwill, they just offered it straight away.

Could be a blown turbo?

I'm not sure how you would check, but mine did a similar thing and it was the wire. It's fairly common.

+1 Same thing happened to me. Sounds like the turbo has blown unfortunately.

As above, labour was £207 from my dealer. Not sure of the cost of the parts though but I'm sure they mentioned something in the region of £1500 for the total cost of repair.

Sounds like the turbo to me too. I had the same happen. As mentioned, if you have full Skoda service history they should pay for parts, you pay labour. This was my bill .... "Traced fault to collapsed turbo charger. Replaced turbo charger & intercooler. Cleaned air intake pipes. 100% parts goodwill contribution from Skoda (Mileage 27,815) - £207.00"

Had exactly the same thing and got it repaired at the dealers. I didn't know what the problem was at the time, so this is what they did .... "Checked battery, starter motor, located cause as problem with live wire to starter" - £90. As you already know the problem it should cost less than that, as a lot of my cost was the investigation.

This is how i hold the steering wheel.

Sorry, I couldn't tell you if the oil sprayed on mine. I have no technical knowledge so i'm just going on the "cutting out whilst driving and not starting" thing. Hopefully it's something less serious, or that you still have the cover. If the turbo has gone again within a year is it not covered?

Could be a blown turbo again. Mine cut out a while back and wouldn't start again which was diagnosed as a blown turbo.

I had something similar with my Fabia vRS and it was a dodgy earth wire to the starter motor. I know a couple of other people who have had the same.

I would definitely try the 'good will' route. I didn't even have to ask my dealer, they offered. I think it's unreasonable for the turbo to go that early and you definitely have a case. The latest service may be a stumbling block as I wasn't in that situation, but if Skoda have serviced it up to 1k miles ago then i would push it if you have to. Hopefully it wont be the turbo, or Skoda will be as reasonable as they were with me.
