You should get better MPG, particularly on a long run, although to be fair that's largely a terrible journey on single carriageways, nonetheless I would expect about ten percent more but it might be hard to find on such an ancient engine.

These pulleys are fitted to engines with a lumpy tickover to reduce the pulsing and slapping of the belt and smooth the alternator output at idle.

Very essential, so you can see the fagsmoke in the dark in countries where even your GP smokes!

The old one can be repaired, given that it's all four needles I imagine they're all illuminated by the same failed LED which can be replaced by a workshop with the necessary equipment.

Obviously options unused on your car, your problem is bigger than just the loom, the control module has probably been shorted out when the old loom failed so badly.

I think it's been used as an idiots scriber or centrepunch.

...also TIG electrodes are generally 150mm long which looks about right and I'm not suggesting it's ever done any welding, rather it's been used for some purpose for which it was not designed.

I said it looked like one... Arse, covered!

Looks like a ground tungsten electrode for use in an arc welder for getting stuff really hot, really quickly!

There's absolutely no way they'll make stricter rules for modern cars applicable to vintage cars like the twenty year old Fabia!

I think you may have an air leak in the brake servo vacuum pipe.

VNT is not part of the turbo, it's part of the manifold.

Nonsense, EGR problems would not cause your symptoms, VNT or actuator might.

OP, you have three choices: Pay the £99 to get a huge quote from the dealer. Take it to an independent specialist. Fix it yourself.

Please tell us which engine your car has, Fabia 2012 really isn't enough to go on.

Errrr, up, air bubbles RISE in a liquid! You have the calipers the wrong way round.

Yes, that's all it is, helps make your VRS sound like a Massey Ferguson and pull the plod, does nothing else, win/win.

I imagine the Lambda and pressure sensor are badly fouled with soot because the exhaust hasn't been getting hot enough due to the faulty temperature sensor and also being stuck in limp mode for too long.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here but the boost control position sensor is the actuator, so this is confirmation that the actuator is faulty. Why are you looking for another problem when it's staring you in the face? Contrary to popular belief the actuator is available separately from the turbo and is only about a hundred quid, but the main dealers do not sell it separately so this is probably why no-one wants to fix the car for you.

I know that, I want to know why @skodafabia9000 is soliciting for his private number instead of trying to solve the problem on here in plain sight.

Why are you solving this problem off-forum, if you had solved this on here then we would all know the answer and be able to help others like @Maheshwaran when they post.

It's just a diaphragm in a can and it can perish and split, don't mess about just fit a new one.

Keeps him out of the missus eyeline so he's less likely to get bitten...

Your journeys are much too short, the car isn't getting into closed loop running and you'll be getting a lot of yoghurt under the oil filler cap due to condensation buildup, you really need to get the engine hot but that means motorway miles. Stick with the super plus unleaded on that engine but give it a run out or it'll start to play up.

Blimey, that's a racket, it definitely sounds like the top end, I suspect low oil pressure is responsible, you need to get an oil pressure gauge connected instead of the oil pressure switch and log the oil pressure at various RPM.
