  1. @TwizGlad to hear it’s sorted, I had mine done as well but by someone else. I don’t trust them anymore. When I had my cam belt changed, for some reason they took off my induction kit which was well out of the way and they but it back in a funny angle so it was pinched, restricting the airflow.
  2. So far, I've ruled out the main culprits. Fuel is good, air is good and spark is also good. Next week, I'll be taking it down to a friend to have a look at the belt and see if it is out. I saw on YouTube, a fellow TSI owner having the same issue and VW said it was due to the timing being out a few degrees. @Twiz don't take their word for it, I kept getting told my KN filter was the problem so I reverted back to the standard airbox and the same thing is still happening. The main dealer is useless and I'll never take it back to the scammers again, last year I supposedly had a full service done. I had two out of four spark plugs go a few months after and found out they weren't even changed, all the plugs had corroded and the part where they sit were full of rust too. I changed my cabin filter yesterday and it looked like it hadn't been changed in a few years, there was so much dirt, it's like someone used it as a garden broom.
  3. Hey guys, I had my cambelt changed last week at the main dealers. On the way home, I noticed it was running really rough when driving normally ( 4th gear doing 30mph) almost like it was misfiring. I took it back the next day, they told me it wasn't boosting properly so they checked the boost pipes and sensors. I went on my way, same thing happened. They had the car for another week and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I've attached a video of mine holding the revs between 1500 and 2000 rpm. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Avi IMG_1946.mp4
  4. I have the 110 PS 6 speed, I do around 80 miles a day and can keep up with traffic in it fairly easily. There's enough torque as well to overtake, I'd spend the extra money and get the 6 speed as it sits in the right powerband at 60 mph.
  5. As FabiaGonzales said, they're standard for the Monte Carlos. You can try getting some from breakers, but you may need to separate them from the bumpers.
  6. That's right, running 7.5j wheels and no spacers. I've been told that spacers are unsafe, but quite a lot of people are running them. I would like the wheels to stick out a little bit, just to make them flush with the arches. Your fitment looks great!
  7. Are these 30mm front and 45mm rear? I'm running these and your has a lot less arch gap.
  8. Why does it need such specific conditions? Our 2.0 TSI GTI always does a cold start after standing cold for a few hours, that's during warmer weather as well.
  9. I believe Philips Racing Vision 150% Halogens have a blueish white colour. If you want LED, I think Nighteyes are good but you'll need adapters for them.
  10. I think SmartLink + may be a subscription feature, try contacting Skoda to see if you can purchase a license for it.
  11. I This one sounds quite nice, it's on a polo though so not 100% sure if it will fit on the fabias.
  12. Installed the hoses and turbo inlet adapter. For a small turbo it makes quite a lot of noise now, I can hear baby whistle sounds under light acceleration and full on hissing with wide open throttle.
  13. Is it a rattling sound that happens under light acceleration if you're holding out the revs a little bit?
  14. Have a look at Kormoran UHP tires, we have them on our VRS and they hold the road better than Pilot Sport 4's and are cheaper too! https://www.asdatyres.co.uk/kormoran/uhp/215-40-17-87-w-xl-uhp
