Fabia Monti Carlo

The model is a Fabia Monti Carlow.

Th Emissions light has lit up on my Skoda, I have had it diagnosed, and it appears to be the petrol tank cap, apparently it has a pump which recirculates the petrol vapour as opposed to venting into the atmosphere. According to the garage mechanic, it is a common fault on many German made cars, ie Soda, Audi, Mercedes, and VW. Has anybody else had the same problem.

Thanks, the vehicle seems to be running OK, no loss of power.

Hello, can anybody advise, the emissions light has come on in my Fabia, is it OK to still drive the veihicle, until I can get it booked in at the garage. Thanks Medic565.

Thanks for your information.

Thanks for your reply, I did see download the Fabia owners manual, I was thinking their would be a manual just for the Monti carlo. Thanks for your help Kind regards medic565

Can anyone tell me where I can download a Fabia Monti Carlo owners manual for free.

Thanks very much for your reply, really appreciated.

Hello, does anybody know the Torque settings for the wheel nuts on a MONTI CARLO 2020, 17'' wheels if that makes any difference, Thanks in advance. Medic565.

Thanks again, I appreciate the help.

Yes, I understand, it is this business of inflating when cold which seems to be causing me the problem.

Thanks for your comments, I do have a tyre pressure pump, I actually had the opposite thought's that the garage pump would be more accurate, as I would expect them to be calibrated on a regular basis, and be more accurate than my portable one, and keep mine just for emergencies. I have 36 psi in now, I have increased the amount thinking to allow the diference from cold to hot as I understand is about 5% increase in pressure, so I have allowed a bit more, with them being hot when checking, I will keep a check on them.

Thanks for your comments, the label on the fuel cap does say 32 psi, as I said before it seems too low.

Hello, yes they are 17 inch wheels, I do have a 12v inflater, I will try what you suggest from cold and see what results I get, thanks again for your advice.
