N75 - boost leak/ maf HELP PLEASE
kennedy replied to mexicovrs's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
I lost my clip and the plug came out of the N75 valve and I lost all power from the turbo. Could be that or yours is broken -
Okay,thanks No lights on the dash. I noticed it when I seen fumes coming from it. Couldn't believe the size of the split and yes there is a lot of hesitation lower down the revs.
-
So noticed a huge split in the Y shaped breather hose on my 1.8T . What sort of problems does this cause? I've ordered a new one so wondering if ok to run till it arrives? Bit of duct tape on for now.

My Fabia vRS was written off so replaced it with this. £1600 90K on the clock. What do you think ? Nice to drive
-
£300 I think, cant be bothered with it all though.
-
Not sure but sent me repair quote over and it totalled £2600 . I was quite shocked tbh
-
Well it's wrote off. Damage to A pillar CAT C . . Getting £2500 payout so will try to get another if I can find one at that price. Hate it when you really look after a car for years,keep it tip top condition for this to happen.

[ Got hit in the side by a delivery driver yesterday coming out of a side street. Just been took away to assess the damage,really hoping they don't write it off,been good to me this car.

My Engine management light has come on and my temperature gauge doesn't move anymore. I have a fault code of P0118 Engine coolant temp circuit high input. Is this fixable myself or a garage job? Seems to be a sensor or something. Any help appreciated and it's a vrs model.

Installed double din unit now key fob doesn't work
kennedy replied to kennedy's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Sorted it. Thanks. Had a problem with the last unit I had when it stayed on after taking key out, that was sorted by swapping red and yellow over so thought I would try that again which worked. Key fob sorted ,stereo sorted, jobs a good un. -
Anyone had this problem ? I bough and installed this today. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191538418498?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Once hooked up my key fob lost all functionality . Took Head unit back out and fob works again. I really don't have a clue about electrics so any help would be great.

Spiders, are they worth it
kennedy replied to pete_fabbie_vrs's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
I payed £350 for a mint set of 17" spiders then spent £300 on some michelin pilot sport 3 , expensive but the difference in grip is night and day compared to budget. Would never go back now. -
I know which setup I want which is this : http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/suspension-kits/car/skoda/fabia-00-07-vrs/2004/1-9td-130/eibach-b12-pro-kit-suspension-kit-with-bilstein-b8-dampers-lowers-front-25mm-and-rear-25mm Not clued up on places to buy so would like advice if it can be had any cheaper elsewhere ? I have just purchased some 17" Spiders and 205/40/17 tyres and am assuming they would be ok with the above setup ? Last but not least ,what else do you recommend me replacing whilst the garage is fitting the suspension ? Any links would be great as like I said I'm clueless when it comes to parts and online suppliers Thanks in advance , Peter

Maybe he is just covering his arse then, I know these turbos have a **** reputation though

Finally got round to having my car mapped and wow what a difference,absolutely love it now. One thing though, after he mapped it he told me there was a slight whine from my turbo and that I should be prepared , it's a kkk with 96k I'm now paranoid whilst driving it and thinking it's going to blow at any time if I put my foot down. Will put some money aside for a Garret PD 150 now but it has taken the buzz away from getting it done now.

94k 04 plate totally standard ,original turbo and clutch,never had a problem with it in the four years i've owned it. Bought it at 64k
