Hi You're gonna love this. I am the 2nd owner of a 2007 Fabia VRS. Previous owner was a gent of advanced years who drove it like he stole it from the word go and never went very far in it. I became the 2nd owner in 2017 with 27000 miles on the clock. About 10 miles later the turbo went, sheared off on the exhaust side. New turbo and ALL the ancillaries replaced. June 24th 2021, turbo gone again with 53000 miles on the clock, sheared off on the exhaust side again. WHAT THE F**K. Vehicle is totally standard and has always been that way. Full service history at dealer and independent. If anybody has any thoughts on what could be a possible cause, I'm all ears.

Hi all Great resource this site. OK, so I bought a MK1 1 owner, 26000 mile, FSH 2007 MK1 Fabia vRS this past Tuesday. 1st one I saw, tut tut. Got it booked in for a cambelt next Thursday. More worrying however is the noises coming from somewhere, quite likely turbo related. Whistles, whines, some undescribable noises on light thottle, medium, full, you name it. I've never driven one of these before and was wondering if there were any members in the Gatwick area who would be willing to have a listen and just tell me whether theirs makes the same sounds or not. It would be massively appreciated. Cheers all Dean
