Strange. That mk3 Golf was definitely older than '97. But the cable worked. Yesterday I tried the cable on a '02 Fabia and also on a '97 VW Caravelle. Everything worked. Well almost. On that van easyOBD said that OBD is incompatible or something. But still, I was able to read measurements and fault codes.

I mean, like, does it happens more often than, lets say on Toyota D4-D engines?

How often does DMF's on Fabia fail?

So which interface is for my car?

Just got thisOBD2 scanner from my cousin to check fault codes on my octavia. The problem is that it didn't work, tried various software like VCDS Lite, ScanMaster, Scantool.net and Easy OBD2. Easy OBD showed an error- No vehicle response. ScanMaster- No ECU respone. So, whats the problem? My cousin used this scanner on his SAAB and mk3 golf. Everything worked.

Corolla is an OK car. 4A-FE engine is very responsive and smooth, has an adequate power for that car. And also is pretty economical. I get around 38 mpg from pretty sporty driving. An it has a very high quality interior and feels really solid. And all this is let down by completely numb steering. You actually can get bored driving a Corolla I think the verdict is- buy a car which is in better condition. No matter its a SDI or TDI. But i guess I will try to get and TDI. Here in Latvia it's hard to find a good VAG diesel. About 90% car are clocked and they have worn out engines. I with my mother cover up motre than 15 000 miles per year so a diesel or lpg is a must. And whats for Fabia- only 36 car are on sale now in Latvia (including mk2) http://www.ss.lv/lv/eur/transport/cars/skoda/fabia/ I guess I will need to get one from Germany or Lithuania.

I always liked Fabia. But today I realized how good it actually is. My friend bought '02 Fabia 1.4 MPI for reselling. It's an ex-fleet car and has done a bit more than 225 000 miles and still drives very well and quiet. Thats really impressive for a small car with an ****ty engine.

Yup, gonna try them both. Have you had any problems with your SDI?

Well, 60 motorway/ 40% city driving. But on motorway speeds rarely go over 70 mph. And I also gonna drive that car a lot. Strange thing that SDI is more economical. My father had an Astra 1.7 DTI. It had superb fuel consumption, but despite turbocharger it felt underpowered. It had 75 hp. So I'm thinking how it will be with SDI 64 hp and no turbocharger. And I've driven various VAG diesels. But never a TDI PD or SDI. My mother drives slowly, I usually drive a car a lot sportier. I'm not looking for a sports car, but I still think that car car has to have enough power to overtake safely. I now drive an '98 Corolla with a superb 1.6 engine, never felt it underpowered. I wonder how I will get used to a 64 hp car. And two more questions- What's the fuel consumption on your SDI? And how does an SDI copes with situations when the car is full?

Hey. Here's the thing. Soon I will need to buy a new car for my mother. One of the most possible buy is an Fabia Combi. She covers a lot if miles so a diesel engine is a must and also i don't like VAG petrol engines. The question is? How painfully slow is the SDI engine? I know that these VAG engines are really reliable and will cover a lot of miles. But in i'm buying a car it also has to be drivable. SDI is a lot more simpler. An TDI is harder to find, it's more expensive and I don't know about the reliability of unit injectors. But it will have an extra puch, when it's needed and it will be more economical in the real life. So two questions for SDI and TDI owners. Is it's possible to overtake with an Fabia Combi SDI? And Your experience about TDI PD engines?

Here's the measures. Brake system- Ate Length [mm] 146 Height [mm] 54,7 Depth [mm] 19,7 Test value E990R01214/1204 Weight [kg] 1,7 Without a wear sensor Thanks a lot!

Oh. So these should fit? https://www.eparts.lv/catalog/#tab:3/part_number:FSL1094/type:0/detail:FSL1094_62

Does brake pad size also differs? and do Ferodo make good brake pads?

Yes. They're FS-III Thanks for help.

Did some more research. Could it be 280x22mm (1LR,1LS,1ZM)?
