Such a clonking that your experience can be caused by nackerd/worn console bushes, get them checked before having a go at the Mech

Keep the fabia nd mod the girl! Although the s3 maybe nice etc nd initially is faster etc, youd be amazed at the difference some mods to the fabia will make to the fabia, may not necasarily be faster 0-60 but cmon who does 0-60 on the roads these days? all you need is rolling start performance? and theres not much out there that does it better than a modded fabia, even handling wise, get yourself a Rear anti-roll bar nd some sorted suspension nd you will be flying the corners, Lets not forget the economy you get from the fabia? you could get yourself running the same amount of BHP as the S3 and a hek of load more torque! and still be getting much better MPG form the fabia? nd then at the end of the day you get to see that "I have changed and customised that car to how i want it! yet its still cheaper to run and cost me cheaper in the long run than it would have to get a petrol powered equally fast car" Plus the fabia is an awesome sleeper car! noone expects a diesel skoda to be that fast!, especially when re-mapped + more etc etc :-P

Ah rite thanks for all the replies guys, it doesnt need to be vag-com, just put that as i thort its the only thing u can adjust stuff on the car wtih :-s Sherlock how much would you charge to increase the engine tickover on a Fabia VRS? cheers :-)

Big sorry to you guys! my mistake i shulda put "Idle Revs" lmao, im looking to increase the idle rpm lol. Thanks for the replies none the less lol. (original post now edited to say idle rpm) lol

Hey guys, does anyone here have the ability to increase the engine idle RPM on a Fabia VRS using VAG-COM? Cheers and how much will it cost nd where you located? :-) cheers guys.

Hey guys, can some1 tell me the exact size of speaker needed (including depth or magnet type) to fit in the front doors of a 2003 Skoda Fabia VRS, Cheers in advance, also any recomendations on a good set for less the £40? cheers all.

Cheers for all the replies guys i had 6 x 1L bottle of castrol edge turbo diesel here that i bought from Opie Oils (under the recomended products for your car bit) a while ago so have used one of the bottles for topping up wats already in the car until i do the oil and filter service on it. Thanks once agen to all, much appreciated.

Hey guys, ive got a 2003 Fabia VRS and the oil is on minimum, but i cant find any small jacks of the same oil i used to fill it up, but i am able to get oil that is the same type (5w-40 fullysynthetic) in a small jack, seen as they are both the same type of oil is it ok to top it up with a different make, i.e. top up Carplan tripple r with Castrol Edge? as they are both fully synthetic 5w-40? cheers guys.

As you were saying? Brake Caliper Carrier 312mm Conversion Mk4 (Pair)

Jabbasport supply a 312mm Carrier which you can use on the existing 288mm brakes on the Furby VRS, all you need then is 312mm discs and vwallah, you have your 288mm calipers and pads on 312mm discs.

Yeah that howl will allways be there when in higher gears such as 5th and 6th, not quite sure what causes it but the guy at Jabbasport said to expect it and its normal.

For anyone whos had the priveledge to take a Type-r round the track or to even compare to the other two cars, you will come to realise that for all out fun the Type-r wins, although it has a lack of torque, its sheer mentalness more than make up for it, all it takes is a good driver to keep the type-r in its power band (just the same as a bike) and the lack of torque will soon be forgotten (although i must say i am a torque man due to my relaxed driving style) any driver looking for summer weekend fun should get the type-r over the other 2, check out the nurburgring lap times the Type-r anhilates both, and the ST is too subdued for what it is to really bring a grin to your face. Although with the Type-r, Hit V-TEC and you will be grinning from ear to ear whilst listening to the mental sound of the 2.0L VTEC Engine and flying through the corners as if they were not even there. (as for the comment on the new RS, its a bit lame really isnt it, not the comment the car, 300BHP and loads of trick bits which sound great yeah, well this is 2009, the good old Escort Cosworth was quicker than the new Focus RS and it only had 230BHP, an Impreza is also faster and cheaper.)

over-fueling wont damage the turbo, however over-boosting will.

That looks like quite a radical torque spike too, you should look at trying to get that smoothed out slightly too as it could mean youll be due a new clutch before long too.

Could perhaps just be that particular stretch of road?
