130vrs

fabia vrs 05 plate 22,000 miles hi guys long time no post. i have a strange steering wheel wobble at slow speeds when returning back to straight ahead ,i have had wheels balanced and tracking checked.the only thing we did find was that when the car was jacked up on the ramp and turned the front wheels while in neutral, we noticed that they turned in the same direction as thou the car has limited slip diff ,as i thought wheels turned in the opposite direction does that sound right ?. any ideas? other than this the car is great. thanks mark

well just had my 3rd year service done at a new garage in Malton £120 , was expecting to pay £300 , i have left break fluid change until august when i get new disc and pads fitted can certainly recommend him.

cheers jon nice car was looking at a silver furby myself but could not find a decent one anywhere so got a black 05 with 5000 miles last november for 9000 regarding the handling i find i have more confidence than i had with my 01 puma the only prob i have is with wheel spin and torque steer maybe wider tyres will cut some of this down, mark

cheers buddy do they look good on as well sorry for all Qs mark

cheers has anybody had any probs later on after fitting on standard rim i.e uneven tyre wear thanks mark

hi all can you fit 215 x 40 x 16 to the standard rim as there is a difference off £20 a corner over standard thanks mark

thanks guys ill leave it in then

hi all the other week i did the mod but my question is do you cut the flap out of the plastic housing where it connects to the front end above the grill.. thanks mark

well i had a 1.7 puma 00 plate 35000 miles for about 18 months at first i loved it ,thought it was quick etc but after a while i began to get fed up with the driving position door pillar was always causing a blind spot then the rear view mirror would get in your line of sight at roundabouts . so i took a vrs for a test drive and it blew me away i would 0 - 60 was amazing so from personal experience vrs would leave a puma standing although its a better looking car

have fun buddy i have had the same probs as well def a skoda fobia thing

hi mudflaps are from halfords, i fitted flaps to cut down the cr*p on the rear of car they seam to have altered the air flow as well as there is not as much soot either thanks mark

well just fitted some cannon mud flaps to my vrs , what do you think

cheers guys i will take my own oil then which is the best oil then? mark

hi guys i have a 05 vrs due for its 2nd service ,my local non skoda garage has quoted

been out today 60 miles @53mpg so fuel consumption about the same and the smoke as died down turbo sounds mint as well james was saying you can get even more out of the 105 bhp motor much more potential:D

yes awsome no clutch slip although car as only done 7500 miles

would like to say a huge thankyou to james at chipboost for an excellent job done i only called in to ask a few questions . while i was there he was playing with a golf tdi the young lad was very pleased with the outcome then he did mine there and there without an appointment approx 175+ bhp what a transformation smooth as hell all the way with a bit of black smoke lol i will have to get the pd 160 intake kit now to finish it off once again thanks www.chipboost.com

replaced rears at 7000 miles due to rust which had caused deep grooves i think fronts OK all under warranty

you are not the only one had my vrs 2 months before i checked tyres all at 25 psi now set to 33 psi as a compromise as i feel 36 is too much but what a difference

thanks i should have also stated that both discs had grooves scored into them as well as if the pads had i stone or something embedded in to them

had my 05 fabia vrs 7000 miles, now for 2 months and over the last couple of weeks i noticed that the rear brakes at started to make a grating noise so decided to go to my local dealer chapmans of Pickering this morning thinking the worst (cost wise) they replaced rear discs and pads under warranty as car was under 12000 miles so as this been a common problem with the vrs? anyway thanks to chapmans:)

thanks i will give it ago in morn

hi all what is the best way to get at the bulbs on my vrs especially passenger side there is not a lot of room is there thanks mark:confused: :confused: :confused:

on the rear several years ago 5th gear did a test on this, front or rear and they found it safer to put new tyres on rear, i cant remember the reason why tho, so i always put new on rear

april 05 6000 i have had it 2 weeks
