  1. Yes, of course, but you'll get a new code because it isn't adapted.
  2. Probably, and it might just be his local store, it's not available from their website and the nearest one is over 20 miles from me so I ain't doing a 40 mile round trip to possibly save a fiver!
  3. No, get under the car and check this stuff with your EYES not your smartphone!
  4. Hell yeah, I wouldn't have spent that much on such an ancient engine but it's more than good enough!
  5. So adjust the right mirror until it's correct THEN turn the switch to the left mirror and adjust that. Job done.
  6. Throw a complete secondhand strut on there for ease and cheepniss.
  7. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16555/P0171/000369 Follow the diagnostic process until all possible faults listed have been checked and eliminated.
  8. What changes? I thought you were moving weight around, no tuning was mentioned.
  9. As an aside, you don't have to warm the engine to suck out the oil using a pump, it isn't really necessary these days at all in fact because modern synthetic oils are so thin when cold.
  10. It's a lot easier and quicker, however there are some seriously OCD people who don't like that it leaves a teaspoonful of old oil behind even though they're about to tip ~5L of lovely fresh oil in to flush it out and dilute it down to one part per thousand!
  11. As I understand it, the ASZ engine has a different EGR system to the BLT, so I suspect the manifolds may be slightly different.
  12. The 1980's called about ball bearing turbos... Joking aside, the turbo use oil bushes to float the shaft journals, when the shaft breaks the oil is pumped past the seals straight into the inlet and the engine runs away. Tldr, the turbo has failed catastrophically.

  15. You can't, take it to the nearest Halfords, they can do it all for a sensible price.
  16. The car hasn't been doing enough miles to keep the DPF clean, 68k in 10 years is very low which would suggest it's been used as a shopping trolley. I imagine the EGR valve is completely blocked so no regen will be possible until that's cleaned along with the DPF.
  17. https://partsforgermancars.co.uk/product/skoda-fabia-mk2-1-6-tdi-turbocharger-actuator-03l198716f/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwz42xBhB9EiwA48pT7xJRNDtewTK_ZAp7Y-Hxc4wGeVgyppYyKCzmUktLXMfwOtOR9MoGQhoCvtsQAvD_BwE Have a read through, is your DTC listed there?
  18. The turbo actuator on the 1.6 TDI is electronic so I'm not sure what you're testing but they often give trouble and have to be replaced and re-adapted.
  19. Some people are obsessed with viscosity, they erroneously believe that it somehow makes up for slack tolerances in their engine, some people also believe that changing gearbox oil will magically repair their worn synchro rings!
  20. If your engine does not use oil then you can stick with 504 spec since there's absolutely no reason to change.
  21. Please explain how tinted black headlights will be brighter than the clear units you already have? Simply fit brighter bulbs to your existing units.
  22. Just buy a secondhand liner, they're all the same, a VRS is just a Fabia remember.
