It was the spark plugs causing the hesitation. All sorted. They said coil pack initially but after investigation that was fine.

It's an 04. I might see f I can get the guys at Halfords Autocrntres take a look and mention what you have said. I'll at least be able to see if there are any fault codes for a start. Thanks for your help. ps I work for then so they should hopefully look after me.

No warning lights so far nothing to read codes either though. It's ok just a bit annoying if it is s know issue I could guide the garage rather than them potentially taking me round the housed. Perhaps it is more of a hesitation for the revs to pick up.

Sorry should have been put in Skoda I area

As in title any idea what this could be. It's a slight dip in the revs when I press the accelerator and a psst noise. Drives fine just annoying. Oh and by the way hi again not been in here for a while! Alex.

i suggested a main agent, bt like you said bit more expensive, it seems to be sorted now, so not much we can do about it, shame as its ruined for him what is otherwise a superb and usually reliable car.

I have had 3 differetn vRS's and bought helped my cousin buy one as I was sure it would be a dead cert for a reliable car, since then he has had a large clunk and black fumes etc, I told him it was probably a pipe come lose but the garage said it was a knakered turbo and that it had damaged the oil filter too, so £1,500 later and it still has the same problems, they then diagnose it as a possible lose pipe! He also had a little squeaking when pulling away etc, and the same garage said to replace the bushes, which he did, I had this on all three of mine and never replaced the bushes and it was fine. Then he has an intercooler pipe that is broken, £140 later and now he wants to swap the car. Its a low miler with full service history used by a dissabled person with only 60k miles on it and I think the garage have been screwing him over, he just wants to swap it now for something of a similar value. Is he unlucky or does the garage sound like they are taking him for a ride. It works fine now but he just doesnt trust it, and I am trying to convince him that he should keep it now as he has sorted all of the problems out! Any thoughts appreciated.

My wifes cousin bought a Fabia Vrs recently 45,000 miles 2004 reg, and he lost power in the same way as described by the OP, initially he says there was no smoke, but he carried on driving it and now he says there is black smoke coming out the back end too! The garage have told him he needs a new oil filter and turbo and its gonna cost him £1,500!!! Thats seems steep to me and also could driving the car with a boost pip off cause the turbo to blow? Any help appreciated as he may have to sell it if he is facing a £1,500 bill.

I think they look the nuts...

top ones you know it makes sence, im sure everyone will agree.... waits for agreement...

Ok fine... gear stick!!!

I like the dwarf gear ****..

There arent any so long as you go to a reputable dealer they are all pre devised, if you see what I mean.

Just to let you know, I have a black magic 56 plate (6 months old), 9k motorway miles, I'm a Surveyor, esp, heated seats, 6 cd changer, extra airbags, front pass airbag deactivation switch, xennons, pd160 intake, green filter, 17" alloys, Jabba sport remap which has completely gotten rid of the stutter which didnt really bother me when I had it.
