For sale is my much-appreciated Fabia vRS 6-spd on an '04 plate. Bought as an approved used car in 2006 from a main dealer and serviced by them until they stopped trading - thereafter by local independent VW garage. It's silver and in good shape for its age. No dents or rust. Usual marks of age - minor kerbing on NS alloys, some small chips from poor parkers (not me, of course :-) 34,000-ish miles (about 34,300 at the moment). Cambelt has been changed twice on age (obviosly not on miles). The car has been great - used mainly for runs into London and back. Extras include Full leather interior (two-tone grey) from Seatworks Audi TT front brake upgrade (all discs replaced last year) Koni rear shocks 40 pin Apple audio adapter Centre console Cup holders "Golfball" shift knob Added auxiliary power sockets Pop-up glass sunroof MOTed in March 2014 (no advisories) Tyres good Contis - half worn Cash/transfer only please - no PX, etc. Contact via PM - Thanks

Thanks for the info!

Hi - I'm a current Fabia vRS owner in the market for a Yeti. I will probably buy an approved pre-owned model as I did with the Fabia. My Fabia has the 1.9tdi engine, which I have had no problems with. The cambelt change with age requirement is a bit onerous (I've only done 34K miles in the eight years I've had it, but changed the cambelt twice) and adds to the service cost. Not sure if this applies to all Yeti engines? I've read the new 2.0 deisel has some issues - but then you only hear the bad stuff. I don't really need diesel with my low annual mileage, but I do like the "grunt". Just wondering what others think of the 2.0 diesel in the Yeti (which I hear uses more fuel than the 1.9) compared to the petrol offerings (of which I have also heard issues). I would want the 4X4 Yeti, so that narrows the choice a bit. Thanks!

Thanks!

My 2004 Fabia VRsS has a cracked OS/Driver's side front fog lamp. It still works, but I would like to replace it. I'm assuming it is a sealed unit, so no chance just getting a lens. I see this Depo unit on Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skoda-Fabia-05-07-Right-Included/dp/B00AKBV0UI for a good price, but it says it is for 2005 - 2007 models - is this just an error as I thought 2004 and 2005 were the same? Thanks

Thanks for the reminder - saved £15 so all in t was £85.

It's time to replace the front discs on my 2004 Fabia vRS with the 312mm upgrade. Can anyone provide part numbers for suggested plain discs and matching pads. Pagid? Mintex? Bit confusing looking through Audi/Octavia listings as there seem to be variations. Many thanks - Steve

Cheers!

So if listed as Gold they are 312mm Golf IV? There just seem to be more listings for the VW versions, although we know the boxes all have the four logos... Thanks for the info!

I'm on MOT warning that it is coming time to replace my Fabia VRS's discs so I will probably do all four and the pads at the same time. The rears are stock, but I installed the larger 312mm front discs some time ago - what listing should I use for getting the correct parts? For example, one seller lists "VW Golf MK5 Front Brake Discs and Pads Mintex 312mm" - would those be correct for the vRS with 312mm? Thanks

Thanks for the tip. Am I the only one that finds the tube to suck in cleaner to be positioned way too low? It seems if you have any decent size bottle of cleaner, you end up unable to get much of it out. I must say the layout of hoses and power cord on the Karchers is diabolical.

Still available...

You seem to be the only one interested. Do you want me to just leave them in the drive and you can collect when able or will you not be able to get them at all? I don't think tyhe weather will hurt them much - they are brakes, after all. Cheers - Steve

Cool! And very clever. Thanks - Steve
