Ah, cheers for that it has put my mind at ease now! will be avoiding it being done and when it goes in for servicing i will be quite clear that I do not want that action performed! Cheers

Aye I wasnt actually keen on getting the 'fix'. Will hold off and hope that it doesn't become mandatory. Its a little bit frustrating because I only just got the car in march and not once was it mentioned by the main skoda dealer that it would be subject to this recall even though they must have known it would be at that point. I suppose that is partly down to me not asking the question but at that time i thought it only applied to the 2.0's.

I got a letter through saying that its time for the EA189 NOx emissions service action to be applied. Is there any more information with regards to the 1.6? Worse to drive/economy/reliability? I've read alot about people having problems with other models but cant seem to find much out about the Mk2 Fabia 1.6 or maybe im just using the search wrong!

Aye it cleans up well but give it a few days of normal road dust and it looks faded! Not to mention the seagulls around here will spot any clean car within minutes and undo all that hard work

2013 1.6 TDI 105 Pretty basic spec wise not sure if it has many options at all. Main priorities for now are to tidy up the paintwork as there are some minor swirls and scratches looking to give it a good machine polish when given the rarity of time and good weather! Brakes are needing a good tidy up and a good coating of paint. Other than that looking to upgrade the headunit to either the Columbus or maybe a decent spec Android unit. Extremely happy with the car so far having moved on from a MK4 Golf 1.9tdi that i had owned for 7 years! only thing missing is the little bit of extra grunt the Golf had but once the dealer warranty is out then a remap should sort that out.

Hello, new to the site having just purchased a 2013 Fabia Monte Carlo 1.6 Tdi in red. Finnaly got the right car after looking for a good while and every single Monte Carlo being snapped in no time whatsoever. Was very lucky as i seen this particular one being test driven with the trade plates in the window and thought to follow it and see where its for sale, luckily when we got there it turned out that the person test driving hadn't made up their mind on whether to buy it luckily for me! So one test drive and a bit of paperwork later im now the proud owner of a stunning wee car! will be collecting it later this week after it gets its MOT, service and a wee touch up on one wheel. Was very suprised and happy with the quality having come from a Golf 1.9 TDI and yes its got a bit less power but it felt much better to drive in every respect. Will most likely be on here fairly regularly Cheers Matthew
