[Fabia vRS SE - Buying help]

I think after a front end crash it should have a new timing belt and pump etc. right after the crash, not at 60K + new crash bars and lots of other parts  (all depends on how severe the crash was...)

 

Thanks, 

 

The chap who's repairing it comes recommended from other people, I believe he was an army mechanic prior to opening his place. I'll be having a chat with him about it tonight.

[Fabia vRS SE - Buying help]

Good morning all.

 

Forgive my noob-ness as this post this is my first (hopefully of many different ones) in this forum. I'm looking to buy a Fabia vRS SE that has been put back on the road after a front end crash and I would like to glean advice from people as to what I should be looking for before I buy. I believe the car has 80,000 on the clock.

 

I know I should check if the timing belt and water pump were change around 60k, reading a few of these threads the bushes seem to wear as well. I'm also thinking of TerraClean quite early on as I Intend to keep this pocket rocket running well. I've looked at stage 1 remaps through Durham Remaps which seems to offer 166BHP and 266ft-lb needing no parts upgrading. 

 

General styling advice welcome such as bulb upgrades and things that are readily accessible.

 

Thanks in advance
