Seriously considering buying one of these. Am I right in thinking these are only available in 60hp? Day

Hub falling off / bearing coming out?
Day-VRS replied to hutchysrs50's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
If I were you, i'd get it replaced as soon as. Go to a specialist who have the correct tooling. You need the special locking collar to press the locking ring and bearing in properly. Day -

I would advise against using the laser tool, it is of very poor quality. I had to return mine and purchase a Sykes-Pickavant kit to finish the job. However, you do have to use correct tool to use it. Using a press won't do the job correctly as it could damage the bearing. The only thing to hold the bearing in place is the locking ring on the back of the bearing. Incorrect fitting of the bearing can damage the locking ring. Day -
Hey I dont need to be fooled. I'm not saying one is better than the other. The composition may be different, the distillation process may be different. But in the end the octane rating is still the same. Had a look at numerous data sheets and comparisons on websites. Each one states different information. Day

Cleaning variable vane turbo while its off the car
Day-VRS replied to Volvomeg's topic in General Maintenance
Caustic soda lol. Breaks the carbon down a treat. We use it at work (glass factory) to clean the moulds which are covered in a graphite based lubricant. Everything comes up spotless. Day -
Some cars react differently to momentum99 / Shell V Power. Momentum contains 5% ethanol aswell as other alcohol based elements. Shell V Power contains minute amounts of these chemicals. Shell however contains certain additives similar to redex for a cleaner injection system. Also, the base petrol from which Vpower is produced is of a higher quality than that of momentum. Seen reports of some cars having hissy fits when they've been run on one type of fuel and then switched to another. Day

Everyone has their own acceptable limits. Bearing in mind a turbo with no oil versus one with oil will alter the play. Cant the garretts be rebuilt quite cheaply? Day

Finance companies tightening up their belts?
Day-VRS replied to Jane_i10's topic in General Automotive Chat
I've never had any sort of finance/loan or anything like such so cant really comment. Day -

Day-VRS replied to Jane_i10's topic in General Automotive Chat
Its good that finance companies are taking a stricter approach. Most companies are too quick to levy people with debt. Same goes for these payday loans. They need banning. Day -
Depends how much has broken away. If its all rotten they wont have no material to join. They might be able to patch it up though. Rust isnt the easiest thing to weld together haha :P Day

Replacing the clutch ... anything else while i'm at it?
Day-VRS replied to shaiz's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Didnt know if it used a concentric slave like the diesels Day -
You should be able to have it welded/bodged if there's enough material. Day

Motor Trend, greatest drag race 3. (2013)

The jap enthusiast in me votes for the skyline. But it just shows how pure brute force from the SLS and Viper can cause some damage. Day -

A friend took his auris in recently. Can't remember the exact figure but it was over £1000 less than what they originally quoted. They'll still try to screw you over Day Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Could be something as simple as a gasket Day

Currently got a Pd100 fabia and I fancy a change. I'm not doing a long commute anymore and I fancy something more interesting to drive. Are the 2.0's any good? The 1.4 seems a little underpowered. What are the 1.4tdi's like to live with? Any thoughts/comments appreciated! Thanks Day Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

They offered £2575, take into account they'll knock you down a few hundred. Admin fees etc. You'll be lucky to leave with much over £2000. Day
