Welcome back

How does a 17yr old afford 3 grand for insurance? I'd give up driving if insurance was that high

Welcome. As George above says , there's already been a relevant topic on the fabia II forum started by Sheppeygirl on this very subject. But at the end of the day it's down to you. IMHO you need to drive them both.

Seriously give plantman a shout. He's local to you. Should give you a v CDs summary for the price of a pint , IMHO, This'll help with your situation

2 pages into a welcome thread and welcome! hope you get yourself sorted mate. I know the good people of briskoda will help where they can

Welcome

Sort of. You get the feel that whoever is doing the tinkering knows there stuff and stick with it. If not, run away.... But seriously edc15p+ and BNV engine should be no probs to any tuner who knows their ****. We Are running mark1 engines in mark 2 cars with no ECU protection and it should be straight forward. Mine cost 200 notes. Happy yes. Pining for more power... You bet.

Lovely and standard. Wonderful Really pleased for you mate, you've got a good 'un there! 6 yrs fssh and mots AND 75k for 9 yrs great stuff

Welcome and let us know how you get on mate

Welcome. Lovely car - yes Jealous? - you bet ya!

A quick vcds/vagcom assessment could help you know the depth of the problem before you go back to them. But to be honest I agree with me old mate mark's comment on complaints. But if you get the codes and work out the problems you may be able to get some evidence to prove they sold you a lemon or it could be a £40 sensor fix. My suspicions are they knew about the issues, light was on, they cleared the codes and it has returned. Cynical yes. Justified, you decide...

How many miles? FSH?

Get it on vcds and see what fault codes are making the light come on.

Nice one. Welcome.

Hi and welcome, nice motor. Congratulations on your impending arrival in August. What your vrs diesel or petrol? I'd love one as my fabia is too small for us with having a 21 month old son and an adult daughter.

Welcome and sorry to hear ya car's not well. If you need help with it post the problem in the Fabia I section, others may be able to help.

Hi and welcome. Try the vcds forum on here, post your query and/or look at he vcd map on their to find someone local.

That's what I was gonna say Unprotected ECU on the BNV - easy car to map Happy days

Mine is a 57 reg fabia II 5J (new shape) but has a BNV engine which is technically an engine from the old shape. I'm pretty sure shark told me I had to go to an agent to determine it couldn't be done. I didn't like this approach so didn't bother. What engine is yours and what kind of ECU have you got?

Welcome along mate

Think that's just normal. All my previous diesels have done that. Only difference is in winter it stays on for longer

Hi and welcome. Got to echo what Mark and Longyear said. Remap all the way. Find a specialist. I've got the same car as you

Welcome along

Amateurs.... That must be what you learn on the first day at dealer school - the limp excuse

Welcome. You should use this area for introducing yourself and then post your query in the relevant section but nevermind. I found reference to the part here http://www.pim-engin...t/4%20pin-3.pdf Personally I would try and get one off a scrapped car, if possible, but you should be able to buy one from any vw group stealer. I just noticed a price in germany of 1 euro - so it should be quite cheap. Where are you located?
