VRSFABIA2021

Alright guys, So for a while now I've been certain there was a boost leak on my VRS and sure enough, found the cause to be a split intercooler hose (under the car on the passenger side). Does any know where I can get a replacement from or know the part number? Thanks in advance, Rob

They changed the spark plugs about a month ago during a major service 🤔

They changed the N80 intake valve in May! Which I'm sure is all part of the same system isn't it? That's my concern

Just had a call from the dealership. Been told its the charcoal canister which is causing the car to misfire. Been told it will be £260 to have this changed. Before I commit to anything, have any of you guys experienced or know of misfires being caused by a knackered charcoal canister? Thanks in advance

Yeah I had them changed last month by the dealer. I've called them and they have agreed to have a look over it tomorrow at no charge. Fingers crossed 😏

So finally got my car back. Was a whole new mechatronic system replacement which ended up costing £1200! Driving it the other day and now the bloody car is misfiring! I literally can't believe how many issues I've had with this car in the 2 months I've owned it. Fault codes are as follows: P0300 PO301C P0304 I'm praying to God that this is just a coil pack issue and nothing more serious. If so, does anyone have any recommendations for coil packs as I am reluctant to get skoda to replace them.

Thanks for letting me know but unfortunately I don't have any expertise. I spoke to a gear box specialist who have told me it's going to need the entire mechatronic system replaced, which will cost me £1080. That's not including the £240 it's going to cost me to get it towed to them. Skoda wanted £2000 to replace the mechatronic. Do you know what the fix is? Thanks for getting in touch

UPDATE WITH FAULT CODES. Had diagnostics on it this evening and has the following codes logged: * P17BF * P0841 * P189C Been told that these suggest it is the mechatronic system which has failed. 😭😭

Just come off the phone to skoda. Explained the symptoms and their tech believes the mechatronic unit has failed and will need to be replaced. Quoted £2000!!! Only owned the car for three months 😏

It had a service around 2 weeks ago at the main dealer. They changed the spark plugs etc during the service. Other than that, the car has been looked after. No modifications etc

I don't recall hearing anything. Is there any common places I should be looking? Also would this cause the revs to be only be restricted when in drive as it revs without any issues when in neutral. Thanks for the reply

Wondering if anyone would help me. Today I was driving to work when all of a sudden the car lost all power and wouldn't rev past 2000 revs. Managed to pull over on the hard shoulder but the car won't drive. I've put the car in drive but it won't go anywhere or rev past 2000. When in neutral it will rev freely, but when it's in gear it won't allow the car to rev up. Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause for this? No engine management lights on either? The car is a 2011 fabia VRS Thanks Rob

Is there any way of telling? The only receipt I have with regards to any of that is a Dsg gearbox. Nothing with the paperwork with regards to replacement engine. It's done 58,000 miles and since having it (4 weeks) I've not had any issues with oil etc. I asked the previous owner if he had remapped it, he said it hadn't.

Thanks for the advice. Just concerned after reading so much about these engines (Cave) and wondered whether anyone had remapped one without issues.

Looking into remapping my 2011 fabia vrs. Have found a dealer who uses Celtic Tuning software, has anyone got any experience of using them? Power gains quoted to be 200bhp after map. Thanks Rob
