Said goodbye to the Fabia Monday 😢 I'll be sad to leave the forum as well because everyone has been really helpful. I've posted on two different BMW forums recently and not got a single reply 😐

How do I post stuff for sale one here? Went into the marketplace section but I can't see anywhere to create a post? Selling the Fabia now so I've got a few bits going.

Looks really nice! I was looking at a set similar to these in black for mine. I decided on the multispoke instead because I was worried about the offset.

What you have described is exactly how mine is. When I go to drive it within the first 30 seconds or so it drives like a dog and then all of sudden it's fine, boost kicks in as it should. From the times it's happening it seems like it only does it in a certain temperature range. So stone cold is fine and warmed up is fine but if I've drove it then left it for a few hours it does it. When the car is warm it sits at 950rpm and doesn't ever fluctuate.

Ah fair enough if it's normal behaviour. I've just never noticed it before. Thought it could be down to warmer weather coupled with the remap and/or induction kit.

So after a bit more testing it only seems to happen when I've been out in the car then its been left for a few hours. Stone cold in the morning is just normal behaviour of 1100rpm for a minute or so then back down. I've noticed that when its up at 1200rpm its also drawing air in when revving it in neutral, like its under load. I can hear the induction roar which it doesn't do when the idle drops after a minute or so.

AC and fan are both off.

Yeah it's been remapped but I've only recently noticed it doing this, like since its gotten warmer.

I'm not sure, i usually just drive off. I'll have to test it out. Not sure on the GPF? It's a manual.

Whats the normal idle rpm when engine is cold? I feel like mine runs high sometimes at about 1200rpm until I've done a couple of minutes driving then it settles down.

I think it was around £50

I've had mine done, didn't attempt it myself though.

From what I've read it doesn't invalidate the whole warranty. If something failed they would have to prove that your modification caused the failure. If you got air suspension and your turbo failed you'd still be covered for the turbo.
