Hi Sorry I realised my first post was in the wrong place. I wounder if anyone can give me some advice I have a 2006 mk1 skoda fabia 1.4 tdi and when going into second gear it grinds like you haven't put the clutch down I've been told it's the synchromesh it been like it for a while but has gradually got worse I can get a gear box but is it a big job to do the skoda Haynes manual mentions supporting the engine as you have to remove some subframe bolts I will be working on it in my drive any help or tips would be welcome I've worked on cars in the past but this will be my first skoda fabia. Again sorry for accidentally posting under the wrong thread. With thanks Colin.

Thanks for the reply to be honest I don't know anyone with a garage to rent and paying a garage to do it would cost more than the cars worth I brought it last year as a cheap run-a-round I don't really want to give up on the car as its needed and I can't afford to replace it at the moment with times such as they are. Anyway thanks again.

Thank you so much guys I really appreciate it you have been a great help.

Would you happen to have a picture showing which pins it is.

Thank you for the reply and answer.

Thanks for the reply I took the cluster out and looked but to be honest it's to fiddly for me to do where abouts in the country are you if you don't mind me asking I myself am in Chesterfield Derbyshire.

I have a skoda fabia Mk1 2006 1.4 tdi and wanted to know if I changed the instrument cluster on my car does the replacement instrument cluster have to be reprogramed I'm only asking as my cluster has a fault and I'm unable to repair it myself.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help.

Thanks for the fast reply Im not to bad at soldering is it a simple fix. Thanks Colin

I have a MK1 skoda fabia Ambient 1.4 tdi and I've found the fuel gauge is incorrect I have a full tank but the gauge is reading wrong and displaying half a tank I went out and brought a brand new pump and sender (as they are combined) and fitted it today only to find the gauge still says half a tank. Has anyone else had this issue? I've checked the plug and cable and all are fine any help and advise would be much appreciated. With thanks Colin.

Hi all I'm new to the forum I have a skoda fabia that I've had for four months so it a learning curve at the moment. Anyway just like to say hi to all.
