Hi I have a Roomster not a Fabia but I believe they both use exactly the same heating/AC system so trying for any answers on here as no response on the Roomster forum my 2006 Roomster doesn’t seem to have any heat or cold ac, the ac light is on but the blower just blows the same temperature whatever hot or cold setting you choose Just wondering where to start to find the fault, could it be the hot to cold knob ? Do I need to buy a scan tool to scan codes and if so what type ? any advice much appreciated before I start looking

Not sure but 95 is what Skoda suggest on the inside of the filler cap

Dry day and plenty of grip with newish tyres all round no wheelspin Its using 95 petrol here in Portugal I think I will give it a full service anyway whether it needs it or not and replace the fuel filter wherever it lives will check the battery too

Not a very steep hill and a very full fuel tank The dealer was vague about servicing but I looked at the engine oil which is very clean and obviously changed very recently Its not a problem related to the power of the engine it is a sudden and complete loss of power that then comes back just as if the ignihas been turned off briefly

The guy was just about stopped in the road so passing in any other gear wasn't an option, clearly whether anyone thinks its a good idea or not the engine acceleration should not drastically fail in any situation putting the driver in danger so its an important safety question really as it might well happen again in different circumstances.

Only had my 2006 Roomster 1.2 for a short time and its running ok so far although I noticed the exhaust is a bit smelly when ticking over Today I was late for an appointment and stuck behind a person in a car driving about ten miles per hour up a hill so I attempted to pass him in first gear accelerating hard and about half way past the engine died twice like the fuel or ignition had been turned off, I took my foot off the throttle and the revs came back both times and managed to finally get past then it drove normally Could this be a blocked fuel filter or any other ideas what this might be ? A bit disconcerting when you are on the wrong side of the road with a blind bend ahead and absolutely no revs !!

Hello all, I was looking for an inexpensive car to have in Portugal so I could stop hiring each time I come and came across a 2006 Roomster 1.2 Comfort and I was quite taken with its quirky looks, drivability and well built feel. I like to work on my own cars when I can and as I have bought the car from a “dealer” without much information or feedback on what’s been done recently I wanted to ask the forum what I should be checking, if this model has a rubber timing belt ? Any other issues I should be looking at before I start to use the car regularly? Any advice is very much appreciated. Bob Scotland & Portugal
