Hi, thanks for that. Had a look on the mot and at some point it did have a major leak of exhaust gas at the front so maybe that was the cause? It also had a dead battery so do you think that could be camshaft signal error? As for windows I will have a look and see what I can do. Sounds like it wont be an easy one though haha

Hi all, I am now the proud owner of a mk1 Skoda Fabia 2006 classic with the 1.2 HTP 6v engine. I have a few questions about the car and engine as I have not owned one of these models / engines before. First of all I am wondering about fuel economy - is 30 mpg good for careful round town driving? I am not really going hard on it and doesn't seem to change no matter how I drive, on the motorway at 65mph I get about 37 mpg. I read online I should be getting about 50? I scanned the car and these fault codes were stored: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address 01: Engine Labels: Redir Fail! Controller: 03D 906 023 B Component: SIMOS91 1.2l 2V 1413 Coding: 0000071 Shop #: WSC 13765 VCID: 1D4D5A7784A9 3 Faults Found: 16555 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Lean P0171 - 006 - Short to Plus 16726 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40): P0342 - 009 - Signal Low - Intermittent 16514 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: P0130 - 009 - Malfunction in Circuit - Intermittent Readiness: N/A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next is when the engine is idling, it seems to 'hunt about' for the idle rpm. Usually between 800 and 1100 rpm over about 3 seconds repeating until I set off then when I stop again it may or may not do it. This might be normal but just thought I'd check. Finally is the interior, none of the front windows work. I haven't had a look but was told the actual door motors work but it is just an electrical fault. Is this common / sound like an easy fix? Thanks all for any help, Ethan
