    my fabia vrs

    just a few pics i took today after cleaning it.
  4. so ive owned my mk1 fabia vrs now for 8 weeks and from time to time it has trouble starting in the mornings. it turns but in the process the oil light and coil light flashes up and sometimes the eml comes on and stays on. to date ive had a new engine coolant temp sensor fitted had my egr taken off and cleaned and also both crank shaft and cam sensors cleaned although it feels a little more responsive now its still having this starting issue ... has any body had a similar problem that could help shed some light on the situation. thanks in advance
  5. thanks mate any suggestions on coilovers dont really want to spend more then £500
  6. Great thread mate I have to ask where did you get that centre console trim with the cup holder I need one in my life keep up up the good work
  7. Nice car mate my fabia is virtually the same other then mines been lowered 25mm I also went for led bulbs all the way round the car make a huge difference. keep up the good work buddy
  8. Wicked motor mate just picked my 07 mk1 vrs up the other week looking to lower it and put some nice shoes on it soon and maybe a map. What fmic is that ?
  9. So I've recently bought a 07 plate fabia vrs mk1 and I love it only thing is that it's been lowered on yellow springs I'm guessing spax!!! It's not a huge drop maybe 25mm at most but the ride is SO hard and I'm not sure why could it be something to do with the shocks being stock or just **** springs ??? Ideally I want to go lower any way but not sure if springs are going to give the ride quality I'm after. Hopefully somebody can help with this conundrum
  10. hi im new to the whole skoda scene and im only in ashford so sign me up
  11. ive got the delete kit but aint got round to doing it yet as ive been told by many tuning companys the only was to fit that kit properly is to have it remapped at the same time which is annoying as my car is already running a stage 1 map. the reason i wanted to do it is because ive been told you get more mpg so im now wounding whats the point
  12. hi everyone so today i had a mobile mechanic come out and fit a new engine temp coolant sensor as it had pinged up on a diagnostic the other week but now its coming up with another problem and that is the engine speed sensor. now ive been told there are 2 one for the timing belt and one for some thing else does any body know how hard these are to change and is it worth paying skoda prices on parts or just get patterned parts ? thanks in advance
  13. great job mate. just one question when you did this delete did your car run ok as ive heard it can throw up engine management light and sometimes go into limp home mode ?
  14. ive noticed its kicking out quite alot of black smoke when i put my foot down. more then normal any way
  15. hi guys and girls im new to the skoda scene after owning several civic type r's and im loving my new fabia vrs BUT i need some advice on a couple of things..... EGR DELETE... ive bought a egr delete kit from darkside developments and i relise just fitting the hardware with out doing the software would put my car into limp mode and not run very well but what i need to know is can i have it deleted without having to have it mapped again because its already running stage 1 and dont really want to pay another £300 ??? FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER... can any body suggest a cheaper alternative to the airtec and forge units but is still sensible quality and how much i can expect to pay to get it fitted etc ? thanks darren
