UPDATE Garage has said the the boost hose from the turbo, it has split. I looked on ebay for a replacement but it looks different in the pictures to what I have, I have the pd150 turbo so what do I get the hose from for that please guys

Hi dude, turn the car off and back on after 5 mins and it's all fine and dandy now

Ok, well I have another issue.... I've lost boost, so the car is not boosting

Il try get a video uploaded this afternoon

It has just had a new pd150 turbo and came with 20 months guarantee, that's why I haven't suspected that

Hi Ken, Unfortunately I dont know who done the map, I believe also it wasnt mapped on a dyno just via a laptop. Tbh the smoke isnt excessive, like I had seen on other fabias. I'm just wondering if the noise is meant to be there ( but I doubt it ) or if I have a boost leak. MPG seems ok but only had the couple a couple days.

Hi dude, yeah tbh its not actually loads like you cant see the back of the car, but the smoke is there. Again doesnt seem slow and seems ok-ish on mpg, but is the whoosing sound like you would hear from a boost leak.

Hi guys, recently brought a fabia and I'm having a issue. The issue is when the turbo comes in, you get this loud whooshing/hissing noise. The car doesnt seem to be bad on mpg, but it does give off black smoke. The car has had a darkside egr delete and a pd150 turbo, apparently its mapped to 180bhp. I have taken off the bottom boost hose (90degree from intercooler to turbo) and done the tap and dye method, still make the noise. I also checked all nuts and bolt to make sure everything is tight, but I'm not really to sure where to start, I did read somewhere that could be a split intercooler? Anyways if anyone has some pointer I would sure appreciate it, as I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be that loud. Cheers

Fits the octavia mk2 right?

I'm after one of these, but going away on honey moon next week. Talk about bad timing lol, if for what ever reason you have in a few weeks il be in contact dude. £300 the lowest pal

All done thanks mate hardest part was pushing it back in lol

Ok cheers mate... I was going to do that but just wanted to make sure I didn't snap any lugs lol

Hi people. Right the switch has stopped working so I can only lock the car, I Brought a new switch... is there a how to quide? I know how to take the side trim off, but how do I get the old switch out to put the new one in?. I was hoping I didn't have to take the whole centre out lol Many thanks

Cheers dude will have a read

I think it's starting to slip, getting a few quotes and keep getting asked Wether I want smf or dmf. Has anyone fitted a smf and what's the difference? Some people say they chatter some people say they don't. I believe it's slipping as if 4th gear underlay changing into 5th at 2000 revs the Rev slight jump up a bit, doesn't do it in any other gear though. Thanks

Just got a quote from luk or what ever it is, the guy says its a genuine clucth kit for the vag models. Please don't hold me to that though, my quote was £499.93 for clucth, dmf and new set of bolts

As above guys, where is the best place to put the 3mm vac hose in the engine bay? Can't find any link Cheers

Yeah light went out thanks guys. I don't a quick search and found that, why does that happen ? The car was stood on a for court for a few weeks I believe

As above.... an exhaust light has come on. What to do?

Thanks guys, got it in a garage today for the work to be done. Not cheap but as said couple hundred is cheaper then couple thousand, got the cambelt water pump and auxiliary belt to be done

^^

Hi moley Timing blet and water pump done on the 6/11/12. So do you think I should go ahead with new belt etc

Thanks for the reply gaz. Yeah looking through the records it shows it was done at 62k, loads of service by skoda etc. Nothing in the book abut 1 being done at 120k, as said it's on 156k so that's 100k without a belt doing, o got it booked in tomorrow for belt. Water pump. Auxiliary belt and tensioners,

Hi people. I just purchased a octavia vrs tdi, and I am looking through when the toothbekt was done. I found 1 at 60k and then mainly services.... but I was looking through the book and found this. Pictures show, can people please give me advise o what this mean? Does it mean the cambelt was done at 120.000 !! The car is sitting at 156.000 Please thanks

Hi people My cambelt is overdue... I mean well over due! Is there anyone in the southeast who's done one before able to give me a helping hand ? Never done one on a skoda before. Willing to pay obviously Cheers
