What did/would you get after the VRS?
hussarman replied to John-'s topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
[ Well I did chop the Fabia in for an Astra 1.6 Twinport and glad I did, it shows up the many design faults associated with the Fabia. The ride in a Fabia is akin to being in a bath tub on a high sea whilst the Astra is similar to riding in a limo. Above all, mine returns 58 MPG and that includes driving round the M25 on a Friday night. -
What size flare nut spanner for rear brake calliper?

Likewise, I have a full set of 'Whitworth' sockets and spanners, what the hell do I need them for. -
Oil filter removal - tearing my hair out
hussarman replied to BigJakk's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Just enter "12" ADJUSTABLE OIL FILTER PLIERS" into ebay.co.uk Been using this tool for many years, it's never let me down yet and at 4GBP post free you cant go wrong. I always use Mahle filters, they have that lovely hexagon nut on the end. -
That's going back a bit! I had replacement Cibie headlamps on my 65 Mk1 Cortina, they were awesome.

Anyone ever gone back to a Fabia after selling up?
hussarman replied to MattyD's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
No way would I ever touch a Fabia again, I am not and never have been a speed merchant, so have reverted to a Vauxhall 1.6 Astra, sheer luxury after the Fabia jam jar. -
There are two drain holes, take the rubber surrounds out from the bulkhead and throw them away. No more bloked plenum chamber.

Engine warning light 03 Fabia 1.4 16v
hussarman replied to deets's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Exactly same thing with the Fabia I had, the previouse owner ditched it because of re-occuring engine warning lights. I got fed up with "Living with it" so got rid of the car. -
Buy something other than a Fabia

Did you unplug the electrical connector to the throttle body to take it off and clean it, if so this could be your problem.

I have done just that, just got rid of mine as I was fed up with bad response from the throttle and numerouse stupid fault codes being thrown up, very irratic idling on tick over. The very bad design of doors letting in water and other design faults. Put me off Skoda's for ever Gone back to 'A Proper Car' A Vauxhall Astra
