UPDATE: Just received a call from the garage. They say theres clearly an issue when the engines warm and their best guess would be an injector issue however their diagnostic kit didn't pick up anything at all and with no codes store they can only guess. They've suggested taking it to Skoda or a Skoda specialist who apparantly have equipment to look deeper. I've relayed this to the dealer whose suggested a tank of premium diesel (which I've done) and a good hard 100 mile blast to see if that sorts it out. He's not convinced that another specialist garage will be able to see anymore than this one already has but it's up to me. He has offered a full refund and return if thats what I want. Should I cut my losses and give it back?

Cheers for the reply. I've since found out from Skoda that last September it was in for the software emmisons update and that in October it had cylinder 1 replaced free of charge by Skoda. The dealer I bought it from has asked me to book it in with a local mechanics to get it diagnosed and says we'll go from there. It's in this coming Tuesday morning. Based on what you've said it sounds like it's following the exact same pattern and now I'm waiting for the eml to come on. Tell me there's some good news and that yours is trouble free now?

Hi all new here and hoping someone can help, I've very recently picked up a 2010 Fabia SE 1.6 TDI and am now worrying I've bought myself a pig. The car visually looks in great shape with full service history, has 90k miles on the clock, and had a cambelt and water pump change last year around 80k. It drives great however I've noticed at standhills at traffic lights and idling on my drive it's started to shake a bit and the rev needle wobble ever so slightly. At idle I can also hear a very feint intermitant chirp/whuring sound that increases in speed as I move off and disappears once I start moving. (I've not had a good look but this sound is definitely coming from under the bonnet and not the wheels) I've spoken to the dealer/trader I bought It from and as he's some miles away he's asked me to get a mechanic to look at it , get it diagnosed, we'll 'go from there.. I've said I'll book it in asap. I've added a link to a short video on the off chance anyone's had the same issue. Fingers crossed it's nothing major.

Morning all, Recently brought two Skodas into the household - a 14 plate Octavia Estate1.6 TDI Elegance a few months ago and recently a 10 plate 1.6 TDI Fabia SE... The Fabias causing me a few concerns so am now going to jump over to the Fabia forum where I am sure some wise peoples will.h2lp me out.. Have a good day all!
