I’ll definitely do that tomorrow 👍 J.R I’ll post the outcome 😃

Looks like the worst news, however it only appears to be reverse gear so I’ll have to avoid going backwards till I’ve saved up £500 for a new clutch 😃👍

It’s right at the bottom but always has been, I’m not experiencing any slipping clutch though

I have a MK1 04 Skoda Fabia 1.2 which is not fully engaging in reverse when the clutch is at full depression. Before I pay for a new clutch could this be anything else such as an airlock in the clutch or a faulty master/slave? also could bleeding the slave cylinder help? The gearbox has an external slave cylinder see picture below. Thanks in advance 👍

Sorted! While tracing wires back they started working. Fingers crossed it doesn’t go again. Thanks all 👍

Hi All Both my dipped beam headlights have gone out. Bulbs are good, side, full & fog are all good. I'm reading 12v to the fuses and fuses are good, but reading no power on the connector that plugs into the bulb. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks so much Chris

I'm in a 2005 MK1 1.2 (3 cylinder) and I've got a dodgy coil pack, but the car's done 155K (I think they're the originals) Do I replace all 3 or just the 1? I didn't know if the others will be on there way out Cheers & all that

checked it out and i cant feel any leaky hoses & I've retested with VCDS lite & now it's 2 Faults Found: 16804 - Catalyst System; Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold P0420 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 16555 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs P0171 - 35-00 - Please Register/Activate

It's an engine code from a scan with VCDS-Lite, not sure whether its a AZQ or BME engine (3 cylinder, 1.2, 12V, 2004, Skoda Fabia Estate)

Its definitely running lean!! 16804 - Catalyst System; Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold P0420 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 🤣

I must have owned 30 cars but I’ve never come across MPG quite like my 18 year old Skoda Fabia 1.2 on my way home from work last night I got 62.6 MPG, over 33 miles averaging 42 MPH Can’t quite believe it! I’m so happy 😀 Is this normal? What do your Skoda’s do? Chris

I've checked the pipe & its not split but I've just put a diagnostics cable on (thanks PipH) and it reads Cote P0170 Fuel Trim; Bank 1: Malfunction Any suggestions?

Thanks so much Philip

You mention the VCDS diagnostics does the 'VAG K+CAN Commander' do the same thing as I can get it on Ebay for £15

I'm literally the slowest car on the A14 as I'm on limited funds and I do 20,000 a year in a 16yr old car, I did manage 60mpg (honest) when the there was no petrol in the pumps and I was running on fumes but this has by far been the most economical and loveliest car I've owned,130,000 miles £550, a bargin!
