High fuel consumption on Fabia 1.9 TDI
mathepac replied to spinneybangor's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Hello and Welcome. -
That one was about additives in a Rover K series petrol engine - YouTube - Fifth Gear - Do Fuel Additives really make you faster?

and there was I thinking that I was old. :eek:

I know that since I put the Allard Race Pipe on my Fabia VRS, removing the EGR, the ASV has gone as well and I get the "shakes" a trifle when switching off. I don't know if they are in the same assembly on the PD100.

On the other hand its modus operandi is to raise the cetane number of the fuel by 4 IIRC, so why would it not do this for Shell V Power etc?

Clunky Reverse and 1st gear after Helix setup

I'd be concerned that the release rearing wasn't changed. Site sponsors (JabbaSport in my case) always ship a replacement clutch as a kit including a new release bearing and new clutch-cover mounting bolts. Another possibility is the dog-bone mount either loose or worn. I didn't realise how bad mine was until I did skudmissile's (thanks John) DIY dog-bone mod on a spare mount he supplied me with. Fill the gaps around the rubber insert on a spare mount with clear silicone and leave it to cure for a day or three. Leave it somewhere the smell won't bother you. Old one out, remembering to use a trolley-jack and a block of wood to support the gear-box, filled one in, which should be good for 10k to 20k miles, when you can repeat the process with the one you removed earlier. -

I have no sympathy for the tax-dodgers; there is a statistic somewhere that shows non tax compliant drivers are more likely to have no insurance cover either. -
help needed asap with tyre sizes

and if odometer is not recording the correct mileage, the service interval calculations and fuel consumption computer will also be out (assuming they have a degree of accuracy now). -
