Had a really annoying intermittent buzzing/vibration coming from the rear of mine, which I thought was inside the car but turned out to be the rear exhaust heatshield rattling due to corroded fixing holes. Decided to bin it as it's not really needed on a food-mixer powered 1.4 MPI.

Fabia 1.4 2005 - Engine Won't start BBZ Engine 75kw 100hp
TMB replied to viragomidget's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Yes, and there are no incandescent bulbs, all the warning lights are SMDs. Nothing to stop someone bunging a lump of Blu-Tak in there though. -

Oh well, good luck with it. -

The ECUs hardly ever fail on MK1 Fabias. -
Unfortunately I don't have a photo, but yeah, just follow it from the servo.
-
In particular, check the plastic brake servo pipe for splitting at the end connectors and non-return valve. Example...

Would the BKY engine be the same? -

Oh, I kind of see what you are saying, that you think the crank sensor might be reporting a slower speed than actual? I doubt that very much tbh. -

Yeah but that's nothing to do with the crank sensor, all it does is measure the crankshaft rotation speed. Slow cranking is to do with starter motor/battery/bad connections. -

That is bizarre. The crank sensor has nothing to do with cranking speed. -
Forgive me father, for I have sinned... Hocus Pocus

Ah yes, a nice mouthful of 4 Star. Been there, done that -

Has the old stale fuel been drained out and fresh put in? -
Make sure you inspect them very carefully as the cracks can be vitually imperceptible. Give them a wee poke.
-
Not really. Check the big strip fuses on top of the battery as they are known for cracking. The jolt could have affected the ABS one.
-
Sounds like an abs sensor or the wiring to it. Had the same on mine with a duff offside sensor. Have you got a code reader?

A weird problem with my front passenger lock
TMB replied to Melon's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Yes, it's worth checking as they do like to break, although it's more often the drivers' side door which obviously gets the most use. You can see the broken yellow/green wire I had on mine...... -

TMB replied to Melon's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Ah, ok 🙂 -
I'm not sure. Done two of them and never had this problem. The only way you'll find out is to strip it down again, unfortunately. It's a pig of a job at the best of times.
-
Sounds like it's catching on something or there is too much resistance. Is the window sitting properly in the two clamps?

I don't know what spam unlock & spam lock means but it sounds like your passenger door microswitch is faulty. Could also be the wires inside the door bellows. -
Put a bottle into my Talbot Sunbeam 1.3 years ago. Didn't seem to do any harm but probably was a waste of time.
