I had a problem a few weeks back with my engine cutting out, it turned out it was the throttle body that was gunked up and the poor thing couldn't breathe properly haha a bit of carb cleaner and elbow grease and it was good as new. now 3 weeks on it's started doing this again, would putting some injector fluid into the system make sure this doesn't happen again? or do i need to clean something else? Thanks -
it's a family friend, £25 for the kit from tps and then £50 fitting. ring around and get quotes off all local traders and play them against each other is what i've found best, can find out if your being ripped off or not then too

What's the Skoda Fabia 1.4 2001 like in the winter?
Slongy93 replied to Slongy93's topic in General Automotive Chat
That's lovely thank you, other half has a freelander 2 which is ok in the snow but not excellent, dad's always had Audi quattros which were amazing in the snow with proper tyres on. So it would of been pay a fortune for insurance on my partners car so i could drive that to work but now i know it's OK i'll get some proper winter tyres and be ready for it! -
Sorry guys my heads not with it today, Before i bought it it went for a service and an MOT. Now they said to me they had replaced the sensor which I've heard you can't or is very hard to do. seen as though the clips to the tank weren't on properly i presume they've just replaced the whole tank. Hope that makes more sense

Thanks for that! I live in a hilly and high up area so this is handy! i'll be moving to a place on woodhead pass soon so need something that's good for that in the winter! -
I knew that, was just testing you all!!! I spent ages as a kid watching dad in the garage but i get my own and can't remember a thing! this is why dad gets left with the fixing jobs haha

So I've finally fixed the mucky carb problem which meant my car stalling now there's another problem!!!! When i first start my car up whether it be in a morning or after it's been sat my engine coolant light comes on in red. Now the temp gauge says fine even on a 100 mile odd journey it stayed at half way, the coolant level is fine. It's recently had a new sensor fitted to the coolant but when i looked under the engine they hadn't put the clip on right. Anyone elses does this? or do people just think it's a dodgey wire? the light goes away after you run it two mins switch the engine off then back on again.

turns out the carberetta was gunked up, the poor thing couldn't breathe. 20 mins of carb cleaner and elbow grease and it's fine now, not done it since and I've done over 200 miles this weekend.
