Mt brother-in-law spoke to his mate - an AA recovery chap and he said "ignition coils" so we're trying this!

Hi I've posted previously about this and had a couple of replies which we've looked into but sadly the problem hasn't been resolved. The engine of my father's 03 Fabia 1.2 cuts out when the engine's not got up to running temperature but isn't cold. It did it again last night, 5 times within about 20 yards going down a steep hill - rather worrying as of course the steering and brakes are affected too! It starts up again without any problem and nothing is showing up on an engine management computer check! The car has done about 53,000 miles and is in good overall condition. Any clues? Thanks

Thanks guys - we'll look into these possibilities and let you know the outcome!

Hi My father inherited my 03 Fabia when I got another car and it's generally running well but he's had a puzzling fault for a bit now - when the engine's warming up it cuts out occasionally. It restarts straight away but will do it again after a short while. This doesn't happen when the engine is cold or at normal temperature, only when it's getting there! Any ideas what this could be and how to resolve it? Thanks

I'm new to this website but have owned 5 Skodas in 14 years , the latest being a lovely red Fabia! While on the subject of the Fabia, does anybody know where the oil filter is hidden? My Dad is going to change the oil and filter for me, but we can't find it! Thanks. A happy New Year to all
