Check the wiring where the boot opens first, remove the bendy rubber grommet to check cables. Mine were broken, I just fixed them about a month ago...

This is theory When you touch the pipes and follow the hot ones of each one then you understand what actually is happening I know this information from SSPs but practice has proven otherwise The charge cooler draws directly from expansion reservoir and return to it and is the non problematic part and is quickly bleed of air bubbles. The engine and cabin heater takes some cycles and driving to fully bleed out the bubbles. This is what I have learned during my testing after water pump replacement.

Use the G13... it is labeled on coolant expansion reservoir... I have disconnected the hoses on both sides of radiator on bottom and let it drain out as much as it did, and when you take out the water pump (I have changed it, do not unscrew it if you will not change it!!! You can take off the big hoses on the water pump and let it drain there, just cover the gearbox vent hole on top with some duct tape not to spill the clutch with the cooling liquid) quite a lot had drained from there also (unfortunately to the flor ), then reassemble the hoses. Pull off the upper big hose of the radiator and pore in about 3l of G13 down the tube to the water pump, so engine and pump has some liquid to turn over. What is left, if any, put then in the expansion reservoir. Now use distilled water to fill the rest of the expansion reservoir. Turn on the engine and wait for it to heat up, fill up the expansion reservoir with distilled water if it is sucked in the system. Do not fill to top, but always to max marker... You will wait quite a long time for engine to heat up and open all the valves. Also turn the heating on in cabin so water is circulated also there and verify that it is blowing hot in there. It is also handy to have a OBD reader of any kind to verify coolant temperature. The coolant fan turns on at about 100 degrees Celsius. Please also turn of AC, since it uses same cooling fan Maybe also pump wit your hands on the big coolant lines to help move the trapped bubbles in the system. I have monitored the coolant level for first 50 km I have made and refill the coolant reservoir if it was missing fluid.

Hi all... My Fabia 2016 1.2TSI 110 DSG also had a loose bolt to left side of fuel rail. I have inspected it during cambelt and water pump change. I have just replaced the bolts and locktite them also, just to be sure. It was around 160kkm on the milage of the car. Good thing I have checked. By the way, just take the cambelt and water pump to be changed at the dealer, because it is a right pain in the ass to do. It took me 8h to do both on jacks (I have no lift) and the amount of disassembly of the engine is quite high compared to official guides (in the guides the engine is usually out of the car and can be accessed easier). No need to use official tools, a white marker does the job quite good, just remember to mark the sprockets to block of engine and not only the belt, because the belt does not align after couple of turns when checking. After this milage, the belt and pulleys were quite in good condition, but the water pump was a bit loose (free turning compared to new). I have also noticed some carbon buildup on the valves and will be likely take it to the dealer for cleaning later this year, since this is something, I cannot do on my own unfortunately.

The Naturaly Aspirated 1.0 engine just has no real gain from any Tuning boxes or tunings. You bought the wrong engine, with a turbo one you could do miracles, with NA you do not have this freedom. Use higher rev's to get power, it is a 12 valve 3cyl engine, it breathes good in higher revolutions, where its peak power is also. Do not worry, NA engines love higher revs.
