Just got my new fabia on the road after a new rocker cover and a service drives ok but the gear stick dose not feel very tight my old fabia had more miles on the clock and was loads tighter is there any way of tightening up the cables or anything?

Seems a shame to scrap her

Quick update if any one is wondering I went to scrap yard armed with loads of photos of my rocker cover and got one off an audi a4 with a different engine code and it fit just fine , just need to find a towbar and a dog gaurd now

I need a new (second hand)rocker cover for my 1.9 I think my engine code is AXR , will other covers fit or does it have to be an axr ? Thanks in advance

After a few years with no skoda I am back just picked up a 07 plate 1.9 fabia estate, its quite tidy 120k on the clock ,

Sorry to hijack the thread but how easy is a front wheel bearing to replace? On a mk 1 tdi ?

Xmas run on the pc 50s 4 of us all on 1970s honda pc50s was a good laff And yes that is a 6ft Xmas tree on the back ha

Quick oil change and engine flush for the pc , I will be decorating it ready for our Christmas ride on the 29th

Both my fabia and wife's touran have passed ther mot last week am going to service them both , my fabia is a 1.9 tdi and wifes vw is a 2L tdi my question is , will this oil be ok ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MANNOL-Audi-VW-Quantum-LONGLIFE-3-Engine-Oil-5w-30-20L-Drum-504-00-507-00/264424741934?pageci=ebf1e1ab-5423-4f3a-9959-6d5dd9a43663

My fabia passed its mot but macanic said that my drop links had play and needed changing , I ordered a pair of meyle drop links n started fitting them this morning only to find out it was the bush on the role bar its self not the links that was shot , luckily our local moto factors had a pair in and only £5.50 a pair i fitted the new links to ,

I have a old 77 gs750 n did have a gs550 that I was going to chop

what bikes you in to Elsie?

Safe

I will have a look tomorrow will it be getting a live from there ? You think its save to pull out and see what stops working?

wifes touran popped a fuse other day when I replaced it I noticed this wire any one know what it can be ? Car is completely standard apart from a towbar

Ha ha I no longer have the sdi as the gear box gave up for a second time so she was scraped, I never had any issues at all using oil I changed the diesel filter regularly and every now and then put a full tank of diesel in , maybe I was just lucky but it saved me a fortune

50 50 in winter it was old oil from the pub I cold filterd it thro a cloth ,

I run my sdi on vegetable oil fine no problems all tho I may of been lucky, my old landy 90 run on 100% oil in summer bloke down our road used to complain about the takeaway been smelly but it was the 90 ha

I replaced the console bushes and suspension the difference was amazing felt like a different car
