My 1.2 tsi would get into the 50's on a long run but im quite light footed. Around town it would drop like a stone most of the time to low 40's. Try using different petrol. My tsi responded better on Tesco 99ron fuel where mid 40's round town was fairly easy.

Yeh there great. There both averaging well over 70mpg on a tank to tank calculation.

Just a quick post to say thanks for your help and support over the past year or so. Ive recently sold my TSi fabia due to an ongoing dispute with skoda and needing better mpg now my work has changed. So THANKS GUYS !!

Hi guys, Ive browsed the 'how to' and also had a bit of a search but cant seem to find the answer to this question. My dad has a Mk2 VRS (60) and recently hit a bit of debris on the m6. Luckily the front bumper was undamaged but its smashed the passenger side foglight to the point thats its junk. Now i can obviously buy a new fog light but im wondering if any Octavia owners could point me in the general direction on how to fit one. Many thanks Ben

Thinking more of another aygo now as we get 80 odd mpg out of that Toyota offering 9k for the fabia. Considering the problems its had I may just jump while its working

it'll be a year old in may

Yeh thats what im thinking. Skoda themselves are only offering 8.5k. Hopefully the VAT offer will end soon

Hi Ive recently moved locations with work and now im doing a lot more travelling meaning im possibly going to have to go back to a diesel. Ive been having various offers on my tsi elegance with 4500 on the clock. They range from 6500 - 8000. Now i appreciate that the VAT offer is going to keep second hand values down but i thought there taking the p*** a bit. Whats anyone's opinions ? Ben

I'd say being a skoda if its only a few years old with very high mileage i'd probably avoid.

No the window wasnt frozen, the car had been garaged most of the day. I had no option to use the window as none of the doors were working again (from the outside anyway) so had to pop down the window using the remote and open from the inside out. I'm sure its something to do with dodgie central locking but im no mechanic. Its so frustrating as we brought an Aygo the same week as the Skoda, its done double my 2500 miles and not missed a beat !

Well its broken AGAIN !! This time the glass has actually popped out the top of the drivers window (this is kinda hard to explane) but there seems to be a bit of plastic come up through the door and is stuck to the window leaving it unable to close. After a few attempts the motor has completely stopped working now and the cars gone back yet again. This im my opinion is getting silly now. The cars less than 9 months old and been trouble free for less than 2 of that. Seriously starting to think about getting rid now and moving brands - feeling ripped off !!

I have the fabia 1.2 tsi and the petrol cap says MINIMUM of 95 RON. I run mine of 99 with no issues now.

I was wondering if this could happen. I keep wanting to wash my screen but im sacred that the washers would get stuck in the out position. Won't give it a try now. Tried using some warm water to see if that clears the ice (if there is any??)

Yeh it wasnt frozen but the handle and mechanism are actually damaged

First off must say very impressed with skoda assist. Rang them this morning at 5:45am in sub zero temps and they were out within the hour. The Fabia door finally gave up the ghost this morning and wouldnt shut, it would just seem to bounce off the latch. Anyway a call to SA and they came out the guy spent hours looking at it and managed to bodge it together to let me get to the dealer. SA rated A+ in my opinion.
