You will feel it slowdown after 4k revs if it's standard

If it still pulls hard past 4k revs all the way upto the redline. It will have been mapped standard cars run out of puff after 4k revs

Timing chain wears on them aswell resulting in the chain jumping -

-
the replacement is called toyo px-4 all weather tyre instead of summer i had them on mine 205/40/17 grip was execellent wet and dry. even when it snowed at christmas my car was not unuseable like when i had parada spec 2 or t1-r's. only complaint i would have is they wasnt the quietest of tyres. look on ebay i paid £220 for 4 brand new with free delivery

Just wondered if my old vrs has ended up on here? Black 06 fabia vrs Tinted windows, back lights Black s3 wheels Was traded in at Evan halshaw in Ashton under Lyne

Worst comes to worst cant you trial fit one? Imo they should fit over the caliper but at 8.5in wide id be more worried about them hitting your strut.

Check for coolant leak when possible the level has dropped for a reason bottom corner of radiator is a safe bet

Just been speaking to VOSA about 2012 MOT's
ste372 replied to Funky Fab's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Missing airbags are an advise from the 1st January 2012. After April 2012 they become a reason for failure. Cats have to fitted on a car subject to a full cat test e.g. Petrols....... Diesels are tested for smoke levels at present. Make sure you get a fresh MOT in march then the aliasing airbag will only be an advise ;-) -
Has my turbo died? What should i do?
ste372 replied to fergvrs's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
like i say get the turbo done and then if you still set on selling. you can sell the car for a good price but if you do sell you could then buy into someone elses problems with another car. -

Having read your post about the condition of the car. First off you have done well to get 126k out of the kkk turbo. Second cambelt waterpump has been done, the turbo is getting done. The only other big bill I can see in the future is the clutch needing doing. Get the turbo done and you have done 2 of the 3 major jobs that can go wrong . -

ste372 replied to fergvrs's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Why are you so keen to get rid of the car? Id personally just put another turbo on it. Get a garrett replacement instead of the kkk, then if your so keen to sell up you will get more money by selling a decent a car. Just my opinion -
bump this is still available

Anyone used gutter sealent leaky doors, does it work?
ste372 replied to Matt m6ceb's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I used unibond roof and gutter sealant and it was fine after two years. -
that sounds very dear for what is essentially a stainless pipe with a tip welded on. as above get the piper set up its larger diameter, cheaper price and choice of tailpipes.

Either wheel bearing or your rear tires are 'stepping'

Which Fuel Do You Use?
ste372 replied to XLBaconDoubleCheese's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
i used shell v power diesel everytime. engine quieter and smoother, less smoke, more miles out of a tank so paid for its self over the regular diesel. also racked in the v-power points on my shell card so got more money off vounchers aswell all round win tbh -
