It's a real let down its took this long and it's not finished. I sold my fabia vrs over a year ago (drive 58 plate audi s3 now) but everytime I get a notification email about an update to this thread I'm over here as quick as a flash but there doesn't ever seem to be much progress. I would be absolutely raging with them. Ross

Sold!

It's one of the best mods on the car imo. Don't see why more people don't do it while they're upgrading the clutch.

Bump

215bhp and 320ft/lb. Power could be upped slightly as it was a conservative map as the clutch hadn't been replaced yet.

Well after 4 1/2 brilliant years of motoring, I have finally decided to move on from the fabia. it has come along way lol. From completely standard, to a 215 bhp car that always put a smile on my face. Funds allowed me to move onto bigger and better things so two weeks ago I purchased an audi s3 Just want to say a big thank you to everyone on here. if it wasnt for all of you I would have probably had bigger garage bills lol.

The skoda not yeti line did make me have a little chuckle to myself. I think it did come over light hearted.

I should have updated sooner. I ordered and fitted two new vents (£25.48 for two at the stealer's). I fitted them last week and it seems to have sorted the water ingress so far. Its a revised part so the above number is no longer in use. The new number is 3T0-819-465

Always wanted to do mine white to be unique. I was gutted when others people beat me to it.

Most recent one of mine while the rear alloys were getting fixed after the garage damaged them.

+1 here for someone that didn't know the steering wheel had reach adjustment. Even tho I've owned the car for over 4 years.

Ment to say I typed the above part number into Google and its coming up with an air vent so it looks like its the right number.

I took the one that was still in there out and think it is ok, the sponge was a bit wet but apart from that it wasn't disfigured or anything and looked like it was giving a good seal. My thinking is to replace this one anyway. Dont think there are going to be to dear, I found another topic and it said they were about £7 each.

Already checked this bud. Cheers anyway. I've currently not got the trim on the boot lid as I was trying to see if the leak was coming from anywhere behind there.

Hold on Hold on a minute I never said that I drive like miss daisy, just that I treated my clutch with a little bit of respect before I uprated it (when I knew this was a weak point). You are saying that a the clutch can't even handle the smoothest of torque curves when I bet there are hundreds off remapped cars out there that don't have clutch slip. Anyway it didn't make sense to put a pd130 on it again when I blew the last one up. Hence the reason I put the hybrid 150 on it.

Here's my forge intercooler not as big and sits a bight higher up than the above intercooler.

Looks nice bud. I've always been a fan of the sprint yellow ones. Really wanted one when I got mine but there weren't any decent ones about so I had to settle for a black one. It's murder to keep clean.

I'm going to get a new one anyway. It might solve my problem, it might not. It's something i can score off the list.

When I used to go down to my gran's in workington I saw an awful lot of vrs's. Alot more than i ever see up here on the west coast of Scotland. also agree with this, doesn't look like a front mount to me.

A sad day :( tho I suspect I might be joining you soon. Keep thinking about getting an audi S3 or S4 but I can't seem to bring myself to get rid of the fabia.

I ran my fabia with a pd150 hybrid at 320 lb/ft for over a year on the stock clutch and when it was removed there was still alot of life left in it. Only reason I removed it was because I had the money and also wanted a LSD fitted. To be fair it hadn't had too hard a life. I'm not one for giving it death low down in the rev range or lots of hard starts.

i am now on my third one of these pipes. The first split just after I had my hybrid fitted. Must have been weak and the extra boost blew a hole in it. Cost £87 + VAT to replace it And then just the other week my front intercooler pipe was working it's way off and this pushed the hose and connecting pipe into the driveshaft and and buffed a nice hole in it. . Was a rather expensive bill. £101 + VAT for the boost pipe and £116 + VAT for the boost hose. So the hose has went up £20 in 2 years and 3 months.

That's a good idea Alex. My old splitter got ripped off before. It might not have happened if I had done it your way.

I have since investigated this further and on removal of my spare wheel found that there was a puddle about an inch deep in there. not the best photo: I removed a grommet and let the water drain out, then dried the well out with some old towels. I then had a quick look about in the well and found this. Does anyone have any idea of a part number for the missing vent? this number is wrote on it - 1H0819465E is that likely to be it
