Roottoot , makes perfect sense, cheers 👍

I fully get the search and Google options, but after countless time of searching, it's apparent this is the best place to ask! I'm a member of many forums over the years, and found Google searches are alright, but they always seem opinions of people....just that... opinions! Not actual first hand experience or expertise from people that own and live with the models in question, who can give real professional/experienced advice. Hope again you all don't mind the questions ✌️

Another question if you don't mind guys, instead of starting a new thread! Have just learned about fuel rail problems, where bolts snap or something, saw a video of a 1.2 TSI engine with this happen and petrol being sprayed everywhere, causing havoc and a hefty bill! Anyone shed some light on this? Also turbo actuators failing seems another one! And bolts working loose on what looked like a pulley on the engine inlet?? which apparently is another common problem, getting nervous now 😕 I come from honda and Toyota engined cars which are simple but bullet proof! Hence my concerns before spending my savings on a Fabia with an engine I don't know! Again your knowledge would be greatly appreciated 👍

Thank you all for the info/advice, it's informative, helpful and appreciated 👍, great forum!

Knowledgeable info so far guys, I understand the aux belt, just raised my curiosity with info on a second cam belt behind the aux belt/water pump. Interesting to hear about a second water pump, Never would've known! More info to take on board, again just like a second cam belt that no-one seems to know about, I do wonder if there is actually no second cam belt, but just misinformation...any one else know these engines well?? Thanks again so far 👍...

Hi, looking at getting a fabia 1.2 tsi 2016, however I will be checking if the cam belt has been done, it appears there is a cam belt to be changed (hopefully along with tensioners) at 5 years regardless of mileage, and the other side of the engine is the aux belt and water pump, but have also been informed there is a second cam belt, which requires the aux belt and water pump to be removed to get to it! Is this true? Is there anyone in this group that has the knowledge of this? I'm getting really conflicting information on Google searches, so thought I'd ask in a place where actual owners are, and who have better knowledge! I'm viewing it soon and would like to be armed with information from people actually in the know! Thank you in advance for any information from you all 👍
