Mtec (ebay) Drilled & Grooved discs Fabia vRS
tramman replied to Motoract's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Just looking at these myself, if you buy the front and rear discs and pads seperately it works out at £134.97. Think I may take a shot and invest in a set -

Asked if they could take it from the chassis number, and they said it couldn't be done. Which was a very surprising response -

Just contacted my local dealer (DM Keith) who have quoted £65 for the kit, however they will need the car in to connect it up to their diagnostic equipment to ensure it has the correct ECU prior to selling me the kit which will incur an aditional charge. -
Unfortunately they're the fabric seats as fitted as standard

Thanks for the advice guys, going to contact my local Skoda dealer tomorrow to get a price for the kit as well as practice some contortionism to get to the T11a socket -

Thanks for the replies guys, definately gonna go the proper pin method. even though I'll probably lose my knuckles in the process. Is there any difference between the VW and Skoda kits? -

Would you have a part number for this kit, and would it be the best option or would I be better with this one again off of ebay. -

Are the eBay kits a worthwhile proposition then? Looking at this one at the moment -
Picked up a 2004 Fabia VRS yesterday and although overly impressed with the car the one thing I am missing is cruise control. I've being looking through the various threads and it appears to be quite a task (I've being retrofitting Vauxhall Corsa-D's, Astra's and Zafira's for a number of years now as I have my own diagnostic kit) however the fabia looks to be very involved and with two different methods of installation being recommended, can anybody recommend anywhere near York willing to retro-fit cruise control and would I need to check any modules first to confirm that my car will be compatible. Also what sort of price should I be looking to pay, I've seen a kit on eBay for £65 is it worth doing it myself.

Hello everyone, Google has just brought me to your door. Well earlier today (well yesterday now) I picked up my first Skoda, a 2004 Fabia VRS and all I can say is WOW. It's a 2nd car for me and my wife and didn't know what quite to expect took it for a test drive and haven't wanted to get out of it since. First thing i it requires a good detail, interior and exterior hopefully tomorrow (or later on today now), the seats will take some cleaning unfortunately. Second thing, I would like cruise control and although more than competent, I need it sooner rather than later so any help and advice would be greatly appreciated on that one.
