I don't think that the spark plugs are culprit, have two sets of used ones, Bosch and NGK, in good condition with gap properly adjusted and same thing is happening.

Hello everyone, Must say that on this forum I'm writing only when have some sort of a problem, but in addition to that must say that Briskoda is one of the best forums out there. 😊 So, if you guys could help me again or just give me honest opinion once more I would be much appreciated.. As title says, it's a 2007 Fabia 1.2htp, BZG is the engine code with some 100k miles on the clock. In past several months I'm noticing like the engine is missing but only at idle and it's like slight judder. Drives just fine and obd11 scaner is not showing any codes. I was wondering could it be that coil packs are on their way out? What's your thoughts and experiences?

Yes, on every oil change used to check filter and there was no glitter. Tried on one of the bigger chunks and no it wasn't sharp, managed to fold a little one piece, it was soft material, much like Aluminium, but then again flakes are soo thin that it could be any metal.

Well, I agree and disagree with you. If I wait to hear something or wait for oil light it's going to be too late to save engine components.

It should be vw spec 502 00 and above, with gradation 10w40, 5w40, 5w30. If there's no excessive oil consumption choose one of well known brands.

Hello, Yesterday decided to change engine oil and when inspecting old, used filter - spotted glitter trapped inside and also in the oil. Odometer reads about 100k miles, never skipped oil service. Always used quality parts. Engine runs just fine, no strange noises or warnings on the dashboard. No excessive oil consumption. Timing chain replaced, as preventative maintenance, on some 60k miles. The glitter is not magnetic, but then again it could be non-magnetic bearing cementation. This engine is known for all sorts of problems above crankshaft but rarely with bearings. Has anyone had similar experience? Any thoughts on this subject? P.S. Waiting for my mechanic to be available to do some initial tests like measuring oil pressure and compression.

@fabia_simon Hi Simon, by the looks of it, I have the same problem on my 07 Fabia. One knock when reversing from parking space and not always. The car was inspected by several mechanics, each one changed parts but without success, the knock is still there. I'm wondering if you solved your problem and if yes what was the solution. By the way, today I've tried to investigate by myself and only thing I found is slight play on left side inner tie rod when pushing it in forward-backward motion ( let's say from firewall to gearbox). Since there's no play in left-right motion I'm wondering could this be some steering rack issue 🤔 Would be grateful for yours and anyone else help.

Ok, thanks for your reply. I've came in possession of some Fuchs gear oil, but wasn't so sure that it's suitable for this gearbox. Their oilfinder suggests this oil for 02T. They have got 75w90 (factory recommendation) but it's API GL5 spec, which isn't suitable for coloured metals.

Hello everyone I need help. Can 75W FE gearbox oil be used for 02T 5speed manual transmission?

Ok, I understand need for making fun but I would much appreciate somebody's actual experience with a bac cv joints rather then assumption etcetera.

I'm asking in general or to narrow it down what are some unusual symptoms, in VAG group, of bad joints. In my case it's fabia mk2 1.2htp..

Hello, I'm having some issues with my front suspension/undercarriage, strange noises and vibration which neither me or technician can't pinpoint. I'm interested what are your experiences with a bad inner halfshaft joints or with some atypical symptoms of a bad CV joints such as sounds or vibration. Thanks in advance for all replies 🤗

Update, I didn't touch anything but whole last week everything is back to normal. Is it permanent i don't know but for now engine is acting as it should..

Idk, no fault codes for those ones. Apart from that funky behavior on cold start, the engine is working like Swiss clock, no misfires or increased consumption etc.

Battery is few years old, didn't tested it but starter motor is cranking strong, so I think that battery is good. Pete, if I understand you correctly, I should get 12V on both of those wires you mentioned?

Update.. Nope, replaced PCV valve and regarding engine rpm it didn't helped. I'm wondering, ecu is comanding cold start rpm as it's outside temp below zero, as I mentioned before, coolant sensor is working properly and cluster gauge is showing temp as always. Is there any other sensor from which ecu is gathering information? There is some kind of sensor on back of engine block just below intake manifold. What is it for? My assumption is that it's for oil temp, can't see it on dashboard, but it's giving readings on obd11 scan tool.

Hello everyone, Problem started about month ago. On every cold start engine is keeping revs on about 1100rpm even when outside temperature is very high, talking about 30 Celsius. I checked, with obd11 scanner, live data and it's showing me intake temp, engine output temp, oil temp and ambient temp all working properly (thought that maybe engine coolant temp sensor was faulty). Does anyone have any idea what to check next? P.S. I discovered that membrane on PCV valve is thorn, and new one is on the way, could it be cause for problem 🤔

As title says - I'm wondering is it possible to retrofit newer steering wheel without multifunction options from fabia mk2 facelift to older pre fl. 🤔 Has anyone done this?

Maxi dot is a kind of more complex instrument cluster or to be precise it shows more info on car status, consumption, distances traveled etc.

I have same situation on my car. Think that situation is on cars fitted with maxi dot instrument cluster. Is your car fitted with one? About a month ago I purchased a obd11 diagnostic tool, service is due by end of the month and I sincerely hope that finally I would be able to reset oil service light by myself 🤞.

How you determined that there's no spark?

So, I think that we elaborated this subject enough to be of some use in future study of Fabia cooling and chilling cases 😎

Ok, this is clear to me, but as I understand how things work in case of my car control for engine cooling goes through AC module. Isn't it better for those two systems to be separated.. 🤔

Ok Wino, you provide very useful informations and I want to thank you for that. Now, if you have some free time, can you explain why did Skoda or better VW (or maybe its not just theirs design alone) made that fan function to be intertwined between A/C and engine cooling. Isn't it better for those two to be separate systems?

If I manage to repair it, I'll make new post about what was the problem and how much it cost.
