there are two racks on the fabias,ibiza, polo KOYO ones and TRW I might be wrong but i think most that are not within first few years of production will be TRW. Best thing you can do is get under it and look for a part number/brand on the rack Maybe there is other ways of knowing. I think the track rod inner joints are different but not like you can see that until you have it in bits

some reputable companies like pdparts or FADR sell ecus on ebay. sure they can advise!

as above or a blob of some tiger seal or something to hold it up

You've just triggered me. My two ibizas are very pretty (if you don't view them from the side) Ibiza should be a little lighter than VRS. as above it's probably just not in best condition, do it up for more power!

it looks good, i might end up trying the same on my Ibiza, thanks!

Nice project Have you got the bulbs in reflector headlights? Do you know if the ones you bought are supposed to work with reflector housings? I know nighteye ones are bright but don't have the correct beam pattern for reflector. Thank you!

bought some on ebay for £7, worked very well so far and came with about 10 different parts.

join the fabia vrs facebook page, someone will be selling one. I put a seratsport one on my stock mapped pd130 but only to get rid of the shocking standard boost pipes and possibly for upgrades down the line. Easy enough to fit on my ibiza with a bit of trial and error. Fabia needs a bit more messing with the crash bar and bumper but still easy enough

The randomness of it suggest to me it could be moisture/bad contacts somewhere, possibly your instrument cluster. That is quite a guess though

What kind?

is the Fiesta a 1.6tdci? My Partner has a mazda 2 with the same engine, doubt i will ever mod it but curious how well they mod? how much power do you get from them? Good luck with the fabia!

I thought they did do a 1.9pd TDI in one of the MKii models. think it is a pd105 which might not be the strongest for modding. 5 speed as far as i'm aware eg.

wash the area with degreaser, dry it then look for where the fresh oil comes from, hopefully easy enough

if you plan on doing any electrical stuff get a electrical clip removal tool If you want to do work inside the car a cheap multiset of trim removal tools is really handy would reccomend multispline bits too balljoint splitter

I filed out the 1/2" square hole on mine to fit a long allen bit through the socket. Either that or some mole grops on the allen key works great
