Thanks for this Paws4Thot. Will update as I'm going Tinto the garage this afternoon.

Mechanic said tried on a rolling road and wheel speed double on one side. Also brake peddle went to the floor - soft. Seems to him brake sticking on one side Mechanic advises sending it for rebuild - much cheaper than the 900 quid plus Skoda want. Bit concerned about the two part and the electronics not working fabdaverav had above !!

Hi - yes checked by the mechanic who usually maintains the car. He's trusted. Son who drives it said it had been pulling to one side. Judder when braking - I experienced it when taking it to the garage.

Ignore the above twaddle about email address. Managed to o it now so back on the site. Any info on a company that can recondition my ABS pump appreciated.

It has changed to [email protected]. I can't change it on the Briskoda website as I've forgotten my password and a request to send me a reminder will go to my old email address which obviously I don't have any more -- wasn't willing to pay BT £7.50 a month 4 years ago to keep it!

This is my first post in 9 years I have an ABS failure on my Fabia 1.2 6Y2 BME 47Kw 64HP - 56 plate fabia Hatch - yes 2006. Horrendous cost so looking for a way to get it repaired at a moderate cost? NOTE: - My email address has changed and I can't update it to my current one as

Interesting thoughts thanks.

xman thanks. There was a loss of compression in 2 and 3 cylinder before the head work was done. Would a fault inject account for that? Points take on maintenance. 1. Diagnostics £ 75 - ouch - acerbic comment on wasting my brass please! 2. Not changed fuel filter -- will do. Oil and filter were changed with head work but perhaps another one is in order 3.Have a contact with a digital microscope x 400 magnification so going to see if he can look at them next week. Might get them cleaned then. 4. I agree that most likely cause 1 injector no 2 but as I want to keep the thing now I've "wasted" so much dosh, why not start afresh with 3. It means i potentially have 2 good OE injectors spare and at some point in the future someone may need them. They are in sealed labelled plastic bags. Going to keep the cable as I will run diagnostics from time to time to look after this beast!!

Cheers RichF. Gonna rev the spherical objects off it tomorrow on the motorway !!!!!! Will keep the maintenance routine up!!!

Thanks to freelander and thinkpad...It works. Wow cool software and diagnostics!!!!

Regarding the VAG cable . I have Windows 7 on the laptop and the instructions state you need to download the usb drivers from the internet. It should be plug and play i.e if I put the usb lead into the slot on the side of the laptop then it should be automatic? I see there is a red Led on the top of the 16 pin diagnostic socket. Instinct tells me this should light up when I plug it into the laptop? Well it DEOS NOT!!! Have plugged other devices into the laptop usb port in the laptop and they work.

see post 213.. Looks like I owe my neighbour as few lemonades in the pub!!!

Didn't get the dealer to fit them I sourced them on fleabay and local mechanic fitted them. Wow talk about garages charging for their labours!!!!

Ok so....... New injectors fitted and the car seems to be running just fine!!!! I have the Gendan VAG cable in my hand but can't seem to get it to be found by my laptop.. Trying to resolve and will let you know if ?I need some help!

will set up in the morning !
