Except it is when you're talking about replacing an engine core and none of the detail changes are relevant to anything other than the practical task of replacing the engine core and all the spitting, frothing and shouting doesn't make any difference. It's irrelevant.

So What.

There is an electric lift pump in the tank on an SDI, also a mechanical pump, also there are electronic unit injectors. I wouldn't bother risking clogging the injection for a few measley quid saved every tankful.

I would get a full diagnostic test done and repair only those faults which should get the car back on the road again.

Since there's such a lot of speculation, guesswork and hearsay involved here, I strongly recommend the OP gets an expert opinion from an independent specialist before spending a whole lot of money unnecessarily.

It doesn't matter because they would only have replaced like for like so that all your ancillaries and electrical/electronic systems would have fitted without modification. Power output is largely dependent on the turbo and ECU so unless they fitted a different unit it will be the same.

Absolutely not, what brand of fuel you choose to use is irrelevant.

You can't, it's deadlocked, unless you can get a stiff piece of wire round the doorframe to push the central locking unlock button.

The old Peugeot lump didn't use electronically controlled unit injectors though and unless you're doing a lot of miles it's just not worth the aggro.

I would advise against it unless it's thoroughly filtered and mixed with mineral diesel, particularly once the weather gets colder. You'll clog the injectors otherwise.

Go with Bilstein or Sachs for reliable OEM quality, usually cheapest from Germany via ebay.

They're £150 each and there's no surcharge, you can buy them on ebay from Bashers in Essex. There's a secondhand one for £105 if you just want to get the car going.

Value Engineering is the culprit, I had a very early 2000 Fabia 1.4 16V and the build quality was clearly superior to the later models I've seen or owned and many of the original parts were of noticeably higher quality, probably because it was the first production model using the Polo 9N platform.

You should buy one the same size so that it fits in the battery box. A three year guarantee will last three years and one day. A four year guarantee will last four years and one week. A five year guarantee will last well over five years. You get what you pay for.

Ok, ASS it is, I prefer ASS anyway.

it's fixed, well done.

How on earth did you manage to kill all four injectors simultaneously? Are you absolutely certain you don't have an electrical fault?

ASD surely?

HFA = Aspergers. It got renamed, I too enjoy any activity that involves the extensive use of my opposable thumbs and do not enjoy activities that don't, like IT guff, I leave that to the primates in the office.

Neurodiversity makes the world a more interesting place, however my observation is more to do with the futility of a desire for certainty in a probabilistic universe. Drilling down to the planck scale when splitting hairs is utterly pointless and guarantees disappointment for all, without naming names there are people like that on here and they have very large post counts inversely proportionate to their useful contribution.

I didn't actually mean you, you don't mind rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty, it was a jibe at those who don't but who pad their post count by starting stupid semantic arguments about matters of which they have little or no practical experience. But you're right, I am a bellend nonetheless.

The Aspergers meat robots aren't going to like the absence of numbers in those instructions, you're stoking a controversy that could result in a full-blown interwebs tantrum with extensive virtual keyboard heel-drumming!

Please elaborate so that we can help you, we need more information.

Seat belt pretensioners perhaps, or side curtain airbags if fitted.
