overdrive

Not 100% sure without stripping the door but sounds like it's the cable that has broken lose at some point on the mechanism behind the riveted panel that's fitted. I had the same problem with my fabia passenger window and turned out the clips had broken that the wire goes through. If it is that is causing the problem then the easiest thing is to buy the whole panel(via eBay) with the regulator, uprated clips etc already fitted to it and just swap out the panel. Hope this helps & good luck!

Ok, thanks anyway.

Hi, Have you a complete front grill for a 2005 Fabia vrs? Thanks

Fabdavrav, I presume that you didn't mean that you can put 17" type tyres on OEM 16" Mk1 vRS alloys as long as it's within the stated 2.5% rolling radius?

Thanks for the advice. I think i will do the solder + to + and - to - option as it seems the easiest option and will have no messing about in the future if i want to upgrade again.

Hi, iv bought some rear Blaupunkt speakers wich are sold by Skoda Auto as an upgrade to the speakers that come in the rear normally. As they were a Skoda replacement part i thought they would be an easy strait forward swap over until i saw that the +/- terminals were like most other speakers and without the connector that the original speakers come attached with. I didn't really want to cut the original wires with the two plugs on, hence buying these replacements rather than a higher spec pair but if i have to i will. What wires do i connect to the +/- of the new speaker as there are 4 wires per speaker rather than just a + wire and - wire.:think:

My furby vrs is due its oil & filter change. The thing is i recently was given a few bits & bobs that i had taken as payment for some work i had done for a friend & among the things given is a unopened 5ltr bottle of Shell HELIX ULTRA R 5w-30 Diesel oil(fully synth). The thing is it says "Meets Renault RN 0720 for Renault diesel engines fitted with particulate traps" and on the back says it was specifically designed for Renault engines fitted with the particulate traps requiring RN 0720. Has anyone else heard of this oil type & the main question is can i do my oil change with it as i know the car does not have a particulate trap/filter but the oil is designed to prevent dirt/deposit build up & contains special cleansing agents. What do you guys think?

For the new style rear vRS badge inc p+p to UK is 15 euros.

nice job

You can find most of the codes mentioned on www.fabia-vrs.com Hope it helps!

Iv asked Gareth 1.8T if he can give me the part number so soon as i hear back from him i will let you know what it is & the price ash9988777.

Any chance of grabing the part number from you then pls Gareth

Does anyone no the part number for the new style vRS rear badge? Iv looked high & low for a while now but cant seem to get it anywhere . I even have asked my local Skoda dealership as the parts manager & i are mates as iv been a customer for years now but even he is unable to get one for it so far. Just wondered if anyone else has come across this problem at all.

Regarding doing the egr delete without doing the ccv mod(elephant hose) i dont think it will do any damage but personaly i think it would be more to your advantage to do the ccv mod before the egr delete so that the engine is only drawing in fresh cold clean air rather than cold clean air thats mixed with warm oil vapour misted air from your cc that cakes the inside of all the boost pipes and you ic. Hope this helps and good luck.
