By my local team/dealership here in Waterford Ireland, (SKODA UK? i live in the ROI:thumbup:) i didnt have to go any further. i had direct contact after my first post, so i can only assume somebody from Skoda Waterford read my post? not that they had posted a reply here. i just hope it all goes well and that i dont get messed about any more than i have been its gonna be a long 3 weeks!

Just had Skoda on the blower, they are keeping my car for another 3 weeks, seems they are putting an entire new engine into my car(something to do with serious over heating), at their expense, they have given me a run around to use for the duration, so it seems that maybe the dealers have come up trumps on this occasion, 3 weeks will tell alot!

its a small world i had a phone call this morning from Skoda to say that (they had seen my post here) and that they were disapointed that i had slagged them, anyways the car will be repaired at no cost to me, seems to me that i maybe retracting the post about Skoda Waterford! we shall wait and see!

this **** is just so typical of Ireland! thanks for those numbers jayc.

im gonna write me a few letters tonight,get this ball rolling, as i stated my dad owned the car before me and it was in mint condition even though it is 8 yr old now, he is one of those steady as she goes drivers and never ever drove her hard and saying that she has had a fsh by the same Skoda garage and there wasnt a sound out of her til they started messing about! thanks all for the advise, thanks again.

Hey all , i dont know where i should be posting this so if any mods feel the need to move this please do so, Here is my story. i am the owner of a 2000 fabia, my dad bought it new at the dealers and i am now the owner for the last two years, the car has always been serviced by our local skoda dealer here in Waterford in Ireland!(fsh). a month ago i brought the car into the garage with a noticible coolant leak, Skoda rang me later that day and told me i needed a new waterpump and timing belt, so i gave the ok and the next week i picked up my car after a paying a bill of 620 Euros, Ibrought her home and the next morning i had the same amount of coolant on my drive as i had had all along! i rang skoda and i had to return the car and they kept it for another 2 days, they rang me to say that they couldnt find a leak and that they had pressure tested it and all was good, the only thing they could think of was that the cap from the coolant bottle was worn and they replaced it with a new cap, i brought the car home again, next morning coolant on the drive again, i rang skoda again and this time they kept the car for 5 days, told me that they were down mechanics due to illness, they discovered a repair that had been done to my radiator and they needed to replace the rad, thing is as i already stated Skoda did all and any work that was ever carried out on my car, i had never been told about the rad being damaged and this is not mentioned on any of the work sheets i received any time the car was serviced. they replaced the rad without my consent and tried to bill my another 220 Euros. that didnt happen, i caused blue murder without actually abusing anyone,(dont ask). i got the car home last fri, by sunday the sensor light for the coolant had lit up 3 times over the weekend. I got home sun evening in the car and noticed a serious knocking sound coming from the engine, i turned off the car and was adiment that i was gonna cause murder with skoda the following day, Guess what?? the car wouldnt turn over the next morning, a neighbour of mine who is a toyota mec was heading to work at the same time as i was trying to start my fabia, i called him over to have a listen and he told me not to turn the key again as it sounded like the timing belt? i really do prefer to kissed a few times b4 i get bent over a barrell and shagged! Anyone got any ideas as what i should do next here?? any help would be great, all together now the fabia is in and out of the garage with over a month now,,

ok i bit the bullet and went to my local audio center and asked the guy what was what and he reluctantly told me (after i called him a miserable bstrd)what wires were what! i have my blaupunkt pumpin, i put 200 watt Sony Xplod on the back shelf,, happydaze!

hey all, this is my fisrt post here, and i have been the owner of a 2000 fabia classic since last year, the problem i have is the previous owner made a complete mess of the radio he installed, the muppet cut of the iso connecting box and all i have now are wires, i have purchased a new connecting box and i followed stu's instructions on another thread, i have the speaker end sorted but thats as far as i got! can anyone tell me which colour wires in the car i use to connect the 1 - ACC+12v 2 - memory backup (direct to battery) 3 - ground (i know i can ground this to any bolt thats connected to metal) but is there a ground lead already supplied in the loom in the car?

hey everyone, just wondering whats the proceedure in stripping the door down to get at the speakers(mine are f*****), i wanna replace and upgrade, all and any help wud be really great!
