I've decided to trade in my solidly reliable and lovely fabia vrs for a mint mk5 vw r32,too good to miss out on..so I'd like to say a big thankyou to Briskoda for having such an informative,very helpful and comprehensive website,that has helped me out many a time,and a big thankyou to all it's Members who,without their knowledge and experience it would not be possible. Many thanks, Mickvrs1

Rear Screen Washer not working
mickvrs1 replied to skoda.driver's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I used to experience the pipe coming off in the bulkhead a lot,until i carried out the cage mod in miniature on the pipe,taking care to not crush the pipe that is..very awkward to do but worth persevering. -
intermittent air recirculation?
mickvrs1 replied to mickvrs1's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Hi, it's just the air recirculation not working when stationary..not when reversing.did work but now only intermittantly?? -
Hi mcc,i had exactly the same symptoms as you with my vrs,had the cables adjusted..better,but still a problem,then had new clutch,flywheel and release bearing fitted and was instantly better,although tbh,i can still feel a little bit of notchyness..but previously it was horrendous to get into 1st,2nd and reverse.hope this helps?? mick.

vRS 1st/Reverse Gear Selection Problems
mickvrs1 replied to Asmith's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
hi guys,think i've got to the bottom of the gear selection problem i've been having for some time now.had the clutch,flywheel,pressure plate and release bearing replaced and the gears are pretty easy to select now,and power delivery is smoother.asked my mate who did the work,about the condition of the old clutch at 125k and he said it looked ok,and that he thinks it was more likely to be the dmf that was at fault..either way i'm glad it's got rid of the problem,having had the cables adjusted,and gearbox oil replaced in the past..fingers crossed no more problems. -

hi there,i've had exactly the same problem,tried changing gearbox oil and had cables adj on gearbox,was slightly better but still acting up,hoping to get my clutch/dmf and release bearing done soon..i suspect the release bearing myself.hoping to get a concrete answer from someone on here. -

Perhaps a dumb question............
mickvrs1 replied to Bildeborg's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Hi there,i had the same problem of headlamps misting up,so waited for drier weather,where by then they had cleared, then loosened the screws holding them in place,and apllied generous amounts of clear silicone all way round the light unit..has been perfect ever since.must have had a small hole in the seal where damp air was condensing on cold days..hope this helps. -

vRS 1st/Reverse Gear Selection Problems
mickvrs1 replied to Asmith's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
my cars done 124k,mostly motorway mileage,problem started about 3 months ago,just prior to doing the nurburgring..the poor selection problem almost drove me mad..aargh! a mechanic told me to try turning the engine off when having problems,and if it went into gear at that point,whereas previously it wouldn't,then it would be the clutch,i'm no mechanic..so trust his judgement..although i did think gear selector fork ?? anybody who's an expert,i would appreiciate your opinion.cheers.
