@pab567 knows all about these very knowledgeable

That’s a real shame they are very nice motors. Are you sure you can’t repair the affected issues keep the car going. Are you interested in just a straight swap or something on top for the trouble. Where are you located? I must admit the only dislike for my standard 55 plate vRS is that light interior, all my very good condition seats covered only 83k on the car. My first cars had a seat surgeons leather retrim when I got it. I know why now. I am interested in wheels and interior depending on location.

The wiring loom between the door and body. Do a search it’s very very common

Not sure on your model worth doing the Slave Cylinder whilst car is apart if inside gearbox.

What issues are you facing ?

Somewhere near the front right of the engine. If it’s one of those fool the car thinking it’s cold and over fuel ?

I could make the first Superb Harlequin, remember those ? https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/yourwagen/magazine/polo-mk3-harlequin-edition.html

Beats this look

lol, no it was a hatch. Totally mint too. Maybe I could go with a mix and match look 🤕

Thank you The difference is Aqua Blue vs Shark Blue. Maybe some changes introduced as part of the green line range or facelift depending when they came in.

This is what they quoted me as the paint colour, but when I compare car pictures they look the same in a different light

@Breezy_Pete are you a master in such areas or is that just the Fabia 1 Forum you excel ?

No it was done by an Indi. It was a very long time ago pre 2008. I think about £300. I suppose cambelt kit would be an idea at the same time, yes

I had something similar on a mk3 golf TDi only when using the car on the motorway did coolant expel from the expansion vessel leaving the tell tale white/pink residue in the area. Once cooled the coolant was low and the low warning came on. New HG resolved issue. I can’t remember what mileage it happened but it had 189k on it when I sold it.

Hoping someone here can help as I have no access to the donor cars chassis number as it’s been crushed FH13HRM donor onto KM11OUV. I believe both are Aqua Blue LF8K-3U paint code, can someone confirm, please

I reckon you need about half that bottle to get towards max. Don’t risk running it low

I used some sticky pads like numberplate ones on mine. They stayed stuck for years however in further sun dropped a little and sat comfortably within the mirror housing.

I was looking for the sticky but there is only one for engine failures with this engines, the OP should do a search for excessive oil consumption,has happened to numerous members on here over the years.

Try using the uk key over a mobile call. Signal could relay and open.

I don’t think it has stop start so just replace it. I would get an 096 type as it will fit perfectly and you get more CCA and AH. Try Advanced Battery Services EBay 4-5 year warranty next day delivery. Or Tanya batteries if you want branded like Exide or Varta.

Is that heavier than others due to 4x4 paraphernalia?

My solid flywheel kit juddered 2005/55 1.9 TDI BKC Octy. It took all the smoothness out of the car. Plenty of people also had good experience

Scan the car with VCDS. The ABS traction and PS lights go on and off due to faulty ABS speed sensor and hub bearing rust. Had mine replaced about 150-160k.

VCDS will tell you which wheel but you may require a hub/bearing as well as wheel sensor

It’s not much to expect a car to not have those faults you have had to deal with and the costs it’s incurred. Perhaps it had a hard past even at 9.5k referring to gearbox/clutch. The other stuff should have lasted longer period. Saving grace no cambelt charge after 5 years old
