sorry danielon, i have sent you an e mail instead of a message on the forum, i have the same problem with my fabia classic , how do i clean the throttle body, and what is a throttle body adaption vag-com. thank you. bob.

hi all, thanks for the replys, i am traveling a few miles to work and back, about three, plus a few miles during the week, shops etc, have not been on a long run yet, maybe being a bit ambitious. will check the mpg on the dash, as stated. i like the car so i hope that this is just winter problems. ta again. bob

hi all . is 25mpg correct for the fabia 1400 8v classic, i hope not, i have had a new temp sensor fitted, new air filter, new plugs next, booked in the garage to see if there is a fuel leak, the timing chain is a bit noicy, but the cost to renew is £230.00, so that will be a last resort. any advise please. bob. ps. what does vrs stand for, is it the diesel car.

hi all, had some good advice from rico4urs, car would not start very well, so as adviced had new coolent sensor fitted, all well but now notice the temp, stayes low all the way to work, 3 miles approx, after 3 miles goes to half way, and stayes there, that seems ok but car is drinking a lot of fuel, about 28 to gallon, i have not had the car long, is this normal winter running for the fabia classic 1400 8v engine, i hope not, should i have a new stat fitted . ?. regards bob.

thanks rico4vrs. spot on. had new sensor fitted, now starting ok. bob

thanks for the welcome, i don't know if this is common, my car is having trouble first thing in morn, it will start okbut just keeps cutting out until warmed up, then bit lumpy for about a mile then ok, ithink at this rate i will have a flat battery by end of week. what do you think.?. regards bob.

hello all, could any one offer advice on my wreg fabia 1400 8v, the trouble is starting from cold, the engine starts no problem but just cuts out when pulling away, i have to wait to engine warms, then can pull but a bit dodgy for a couple of miles.i hope this can be corrected as its a nice little car. regards bob:(

hi all, i have just become a second hand skoda fabia owner, its a lovely little car, but with plenty of space, and nice to drive, i am having some starting problems, but hope this can be resolved with some advice from this forum. best regards. bob:thumbup:
