Hi, Iwondered if you still had diagnostics to look at a Fabia 1 that will not start sometimes car is in Radcliffe nr Bury. i will gladly pay for your time Thanks in advance Mick

Can you help? I have a Kodiaq registered Jan 18 with 9.2 Columbus infotainment. I retrofitted an Skoda OEM rear view camera kit. The car has been into the dealer but they cannot find the camera. I think they only have experience checking faults!
Need someone who tell the system the camera exists.

If your still looking I’m located in M31.

Autel scanners seem to be getting a good rep at the minute, how ever I haven’t used one personally. VCDS is the best diag tool for VAG based cars and is worth every penny imo.

I shall PM you.

I have VCDS in Manchester

I didn’t know that was the reason I just always assumed they were stretch bolts with the angle after the torque, you would be surprised how many dealers don’t fit new bolts especially with the fixed pricing, how ever if they ever go wrong warranty would kick it out and the dealer would be left with the bill. id still rather replace tho for a sake of a few quid but that’s just me.

I’m just going off what the manual states. I have done a few also, reusing the old bolts and like your self I’ve never had a problem, but I always advise them to be replaced for the sake of a few quid they cost I would do them personally.

Might be worth noting that the engine mount bolts are stretch bolts and should be replaced. I also prefer to took the bottom of the mount out of the way rather than remove it. Id also get a torque wrench if you don’t already have one.

I get where you are coming from When you compare it to the likes of a Mk4 golf. I wouldn’t call the VRS rare, more uncommon and I think that has a lot to do with it, and you don’t realize how uncommon they are especially in half decent nick until your looking to buy one. Cheap ones come up on Facebook all the time if that helps you. -
RIP Fabia VRS. What to do next?

I wouldn’t scrap it I would sell it privately, If you really can’t decide on what you would be happy for it bang it on eBay with a 99p start and no reserve. -
1 and half months later, another turbo gone!!

It does look like a bad core and the fact they are sending out a replacement with out question suggests they are used to it. Were the VNT blades stripped and cleaned correctly, if it were me I would fit the new core And put a standard map on the car, then I would check the actuator is set up correctly via vcds and adjust if necessary. Run it it like this for a while and if all is well with no issues I would upload the map back on to it. Who mapped it btw? -
How to tackle excess condensation in interior?
lupoluke replied to Wench's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Sadly there is no miracle cure, first step is to eliminate all moisture. Theres lots of info on this very forum about all the fixes if you search, but here’s some pointers to get you going. Use plumbers gold on the door carrier. Check spare wheel well for water ingress as the boot vents are known to leak. Cheak rear washer pipe for leaks inside the car. Leave the blowers pointed at the floor when left parked at over night. Remove carpets and underlay to dry them out. HTH
