Hi Folks Long time no post - son just bought fabia vRS - reg CW05GBZ (Black with standard alloys) Does anyone know anything about it so I can give him an idea of how its been cared for etc. He's now a member of the vRS club. Have told him of the site so hope to see hime here soon cheers all

From what I can remember when I sold my old turbo the fitting is different, so a turbo from an ASZ engine won't fit a BLT engine. Not sure about the actual turbo itself but if you are lookng to replace best go like for like to avaoid fitting issues.

As it seem P-Torque are getting a bit of stick I'll recomend them in an instant - Speak to Will and you'll get great service - very knowledgeable and eager to help - Had 3 remaps from him (including Hybrid on Fabia)and couldn't be happier Probably not as big as the others mentioned here, and as I've not used tham I wont compare, but don't write P-Torque off as they are deffinately specialists and not cowboys.

Still have the Fabia (wife driving it now) but I changed for a BMW 335d M-Sport - cracking car and remapped runs at 340bhp and 500lb/ft - love both cars but BMW is more user friendly if not quite as economical.

Pmd also.

Totally agree. Will mapped my fabia twice. Second time with hybrid turbo and all the works. Great job. Taking my BMW 335d to him on Saturday for remap. Hope it's as good as I anticipate.

Hi Folks I have passed my cherished Fabia to the wife as I've just bought my first ever BMW. I don't think she will spend much time on here, though I will be checking in every now and then to catch up with the latest news. I'll still be driving the Fabia because it is so much fun and I can surprise more people in it than in my new one. Wanted to say thanks to all those who have helped me out with advice etc over the years. See you later

Try flushing the system till it runs clean and then refil. Did this to mine which had similar problem and it worked. I also changed the expansion tank and cap as a precaution which may be your next job if the flushing doesn't work. Good luck

Finally got mine sorted (fingers crossed) - bought new expansion tank and cap from eurocarparts - flished system until it ran clean (was very brown to start) then fitted new tank and refilled - seems to be OK a week later so hope thats it - will have to drain again before winter though as no antifreeze in it at the mo. hope yours turns out to be as simple PS don't buy tank and cap from ebay as that added to my problems for ages as that was leaking worse than before.

part nimber is 1ML805903 (at least was about 18 months ago) - easy to fit and if it goes wrong you are only screwing into bottom of bumper molding so you won't see anything - takes a bit of time to line up but once done just a case of screwing on - search on here for fitting guides good luck

Set mine to middle first and changed it to stiffest after about 2 days. Never had any problems with the so called lift off understeer. Think you'd have to be really pushing it to achieve that. Give it a go. Pretty easy to adjust if you don't like it.

I've got a pipercross induction kit - it does sound a little more throaty but is not excessively noisy. Never had a problem with the police. (at least not from this).

Had all my tuning done by Will a P-Torque and couldnt be happier. Give him a call. Great bloke and maps the car to protect components Haven't used unit 18 but all the reviews on here a good but I can defiantly recommend P-Torque.

Was good meeting you all on Saturday. Will hopefully be able to stay the distance next time.

sorry to hear this scotty - unlikely to spot it down here but hope they catch the Feckers and you get it back in one piece - like the idea of the Leon FR+ - let us all know how it goes if you still get the chance. hope it all works our well
