Hi everyone,
Recently bought a Fabia 1 as a commuter vehicle and to generally save having to use my Toyota Previa which uses substantially more fuel than an F104 starfighter on full reheat!
It's a 1.9td comfort on a Y plate (2001) and came to me as spares or repair with the power steering US. Just been using it 'as is' and having done lots of research on here before buying am pretty sure it's just wiring or soggy sensor, will have a pop at it soon.
Got a few more issues to address as well, most of the answers seem to be on here thankfully
Never thought of owning one of these really, just gathered up all the available cars in my price range and this one came out on top on many fronts for my needs, Being an estate and having a tow bar with the grunty 1.9 makes it a pretty useful little car and much more grown up than the other 'shopping' cars I looked at.
The biggest attraction to this car and model, and I'm pleased to say turned out to be achievable is the fantastic fuel economy of this pokey little engine. I'm getting over 60mpg (journey average) travelling at the speed limit on A and B roads. It's saving me a fortune, something like £280 - 300 per month!!!
