Ok i have a look and update thank you

Hi i got a skoda fabia 1.4 16v petrol 2005 the engine light was on and i had code p0401 so i cleaned egr vavle and the pipe and the tb then cleared the code and come back after one day the code was p0402 this time i checked everything but not sure what it can be any ideas Thanks

I sorted my problem it was less mix in the washer bottle causing things to freeze up and something was stuck in the rear washer jet nozzle now its way better the water gets right to the top and i checked all the connections they was fine but the one inside and near the rear wiper i put shrink tube on so they don't come off the only ones that can come off are the ones that are in the engine bay and under washer bottle but they are easliy accessible so don't need to worry about ripping the plastics off Thanks for your advice

Is that a new pump that i have to get or can i repair it and yes i have put in stronger mix now but might be to late

I did try it after a 30 min drive was the same thing the pump was frozen tho but after 30 min drive it worked but just had the problem no matter which way i pressed the stalk the water came from front

Hi I got a problem with my Skoda fabia 1.4 2005 when i push the stalk to activate the water jets forward or backwards only the front works both ways. when one way is for front washer and other way is for back use to work fine but it only started with this cold weather can someone help please

Hi thanks for the reply i pushed one of the piston back maybe got stuck and its working fine its been ok for a few months now the weather is not good when its better im going to take the hub off just to look inside see if everything looks ok even tho there no problem with braking at all

I will be changing the wheel cylinder its cheap but so far the breaks work fine now no problems at all will open just to check the drum when the weather is better been driving it for a few days now and its fine but will let you know when i open it up

I pushed one of the pistons back in as it got stuck and its working fine now i took it for a drive now the drum is cold and it stops good aswel so that was the problem

Updated I pushed one of the piston in as it seemed to be further out then the other one and it all seems fine now been driving all day and never got hot so think thats all it was Thanks to everyone for helping me 👍👍👍👍👍

I took it for a drive for 10mins and the drum is cold so think it's sorted unlike yesterday when it was really hot threw some water on it and was steaming like a kettle lol anyway thanks for everyone's help much appreciated will update tomorrow if the problem comes back

i just took the tyre off and pushed one of the piston back in and now its only rubbing a tiny bit which is normal so think the piston got stuck but going to take it for a drive and then check it again tomorrow to see if the same

how do i go about sorting that out?

they all been fitted and checked they are all brand new and its not my 1st time doing drum brakes have done them lots of times but think found the problem is the handbrake mechanism is not all the way back maybe due to getting stuck on something its raining so when it stops will have a look and report back

i have checked all the parts they look fine and the only problem i can see is the T bar near the handbrake adjustment the side with the problem the cable looks a bit longer so looks like the handbrake mechanism on the drum is not all the way back or stuck will take it all off and put it back on with the handbrake mechanism pushed back think its stuck on some thing or the cable is stretched

i checked it they the same and don't think that is the issue as one side is perfect been watching some videos and think its the handbrake lever on the drum brake side not all the way back will have a look in the morning and report back

yes i done that. I have done drum brake job lots of times before but never come across this problem. I have done the other side with no problem at all and it only gets stuck when i put the t30 screw on when i loosen the screw its ok but when i put the lug nuts on it gets stuck again and i drove it and the drum gets really hot after 5min drive I take some photos tomorrow to see if you can spot something i might have missed

yes i released the handbrake tension before i started changing the brakes. When i put the drum on its ok just when i put the t30 screw it stops turning i left the t30 screw off and just put the lug nuts on same thing

hi i have a Skoda fabia 1.4 2005 petrol I changed the break shoes one side is perfect and the problem is the driver side turns easily but when i put the little t30 screw on its really hard to turn the drum but when i loosen it. it starts to turn fine so i loosen the t30 screw and put the wheel back on same thing its hard to turn and took it for a drive and the drum gets hot I opened it 10 times and cleaned it few times and checked the adjustment tab thing its fine. can someone help please Thank you Got a feeling it might be the drum that is bent but dont want to buy it if its not that

Thanks which side do you think i have replace

Hi everyone I have a Skoda fabia 1.4 2005 petrol the problem is when im driving slow and turn left or right it starts a clicking sound but not all the time some days not even once but sometimes all the time when i turn left or right if i dont accelerate while turning there is no sound . I read its the CV joint but everything looks in good condition apart from outter track rod end on passenger side looks flat but no grease leaking. I did change the anti roll bar links as one was damaged thought that was the problem but its not. Thanks in advance
