Welcome. If it is a 2012 car it is a Mk2 Fabia.

There was a model change later on 2014 when Mk3 Fabia were introduced and started arriving at Dealership. Mk2 Euro 5 emissions, Mk3 are Euro 6. Citigo is a 1.0 MPI, no turbo. As is a 1.2 MPI Fabia, or a 1.0 MPI. & a 1.2 TSI has a turbo. What is it you have seen , is it a 1.2 TSI or a 1.0 MPI which could be a Mk3? MY2015 cars, late 2014.

@Richardcnhave you checked what your present car would cost if you had to get a years insurance today for it. There are some crazy 1/3 rd or more increases in insurance?

@22 minutes 'cost'. Personally i am not a 'Starbucks' for 2 people having Regular Drinks & a Pastry & £15 a throw. I did pay out last week a couple of times that crazy prices. Usually i have Cold drinks and munchies or hot drinks and even more munchies with me as no point bothering about the cost of a charge and blowing crazy money. But i am tight and buy 100 gram jars of coffee that cost me less than £1. & bags of 5 doughnuts at about the same.

I did ask a mod to move the other post, but they are busy / short handed. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/514442-in-a-need-of-change

@Cropzy You could start organising a 15th anniversary meet for Mk2 vRS in 2 years time. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/332715-skoda-fabia-mk2-vrs-2010-2014-how-many-left-members-driving-them/page/11

For anyone with a car from Motability that needs AdBlue, you do not have to pay for it topped up at a Main Dealership. It is included in the Servicing. Just check with them when you need it topped up and arrange to pop along and have it done. 'Not a lot of people know that', As in the Service Desk Staff. It is not only at Services. You are allowed up to 20,000 miles a year on your lease, and you do not pay for the AdBlue. There are places that will do the Servicing and not top up the AdBlue when the car is in. They should if it will take topping up. But then the car might come to you on Variable Servicing so is not getting serviced until 24 months, or 18,000 - 20,000 miles then again before it gets handed back and at that service they likely will just add some AdBlue, not fill it up before it heads off to Auction or the Dealer that buys it. If anyone is buying the car you leased from Motability be sure they do fill it up at the service. (Sometimes cheaper to let them sell it at auction and then buy off the Dealers that buy it than the price Motability offer it to you for.)

Welcome to the forum. For parts. Car breaker / Salvage yard. Ebay. Briskoda forum parts wanted / swap. ............................................................. Is this a 1.2 TSI that you just got? Do you know if the car is remapped or any other mods which might also need putting back to factory? Is the suspension, brakes, wheel / tyres factory standard, & how many miles has the car done? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/440242-minor-mods-complete You have a Forge BOV. (Blow off valve.) Maybe if your thread is moved to the Fabia Mk3 section you will find someone wanting your parts in exchange for standard parts. ............... ??? Have you got any Service History with the car. Was the Cam Belt maybe changed 25/1/2022 by any chance? ? Have you looked in the Air Filter box to see what filter is in there? Best see what spark plugs are fitted and if OME. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/478632-air-filter-change

@AmberberryIndeed it should be itemised. Something like this below. & then if Serviced to Manufacturers Guidelines, Recommendation & Specifications you should be able to by a Warranty from Skoda / VW Group that is valid. PS The Cam Belt & Tensioners might well be OK, but the Warranty or a Warranty you buy from Skoda if you do next year might be a waste of time if the car Was not serviced to the Manufacturers Guidelines or Specification. But this is the discussion being held in other threads. Skoda UK are not a Manufacturer and it is them saying Cam Belts at 5 years but that is not showing for Skoda in other countries from Skoda CZ.

@AmberberryBe sure you do check that there is a record of the cam belt done, because the 1.4 TSI ACT is not difficult but need the gear and more than ideas. @silver1011 Just had one replaced. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/514272-kodiaq-20-dsg-4x4-diesel-2017 A Full Main Dealer Service History should be a Full History of the Servicing, but no way does that mean a Full Servicing History of Servicing done to the Manufacturers Guidelines, Recommendations or Specifications / Schedules even. If so the Brake Fluid would be changed in 2020 & 2022 & again in 2024. Spark plugs in 2021 or @ 40,000 miles. Cam Belt in 2022. Air Filter maybe not even looked at until 2023 but it should have been changed by now.

Real World now. Fat 'TOYOTA' EV.s. & Skoda.

@Cropzy There was a meet organised for Mk2 Fabia vRS and any others at Santa Pod for a RWYB when there were a few enthusiastic members and the Mk2 Fabia section was more active. If that kind of thing is of interest maybe just make a shout out in the section and then start organising and see if others will help and join in. We had no funding, but members got Skoda UK interested and they attended with cars to show and a display wagon. People booked rooms them selves, a place for a meal was booked and it came together with those interested making some effort. People travelled from around the UK for the weekend or the day. took 8 months from first posted about until the event. The event was 5 years from the first Mk2 Fabia being registered in the UK and there were a few of those first cars attended. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/333148-fabia-mk2-vrs-meet-santa-pod-16th-may-2015 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/355413-santa-pod-raceway-times-mods-etc There was a vid on YT of the day with music produced by @Furbytomi think, seems to have been deleted.

@CropzyHas there been a single member in here that has had exhaust valve issues with a Euro 5 1.2 TSI in the past 13 years? @Steveyg777were the spark plugs taken out and checked?

There are filling stations where staff might well come out if they can be bothered, double manned and tell you commercial vehicles only. I just told them the car is Business & Commercial use and i will have a VAT receipt please. PS Re VW Official and AdBlue / SCR. There was the issue. Daimler -Benz had the system and licensed to VW & BMW and then for the USA they would need big AdBlue tanks for Mericans not to have to top up often, so there was an answer. 'Defeat Device' Software, AdBlue sipped and emissions high most of the time and SCR system working under test conditions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid BMW & VW fines $1 Billion for running emissions cartel. European Commission fined them for colluding with Daimler to hold back the development of technology that could have reduced harmful emissions from their vehicles. http://fleetnews.co.uk/news/manufacturer-news/2021/07/09/bmw-and-vw-group-fined-751m-for-emissions-collusion

This Warranty issue has been an issue with Skoda / VW group for many a year. Even the cars with engines that have had a failure rate of over 20% like Mk2 Fabia vRS might get a replacement engine in the 3 year manufacturers cover in the UK and that engine is not covered beyond that 3 years manufacturers warrant, same with the DQ200 DSG.s. What some did get was an Extended Warranty given, but they stopped doing that 4 UK CEO / Brand directors back. Paying a contribution gave a 2 year warranty. Same when Skoda / VW had a after market Warranty Company not accepting the nonsense for VW group and reaching an agreement with VW over the supply of an engine. That is then a new or refurbished engine and has 2 years warranty. But if a base engine you are still left with original parts like the turbo and super charger which are 3 years plus old.

Work carried out under the Manufacturers Warranty is not covered beyond the Manufacturers Warranty. Unless you paid some contribution. Easy to read the T&C,s. Then there is the Parts with Fundamental design, manufacturing, materials etc. so talk with the Warranty manager at a dealership, or the area warranty manager & the warranty provider / importer as required if the Master Tech does not support you in the part being gash.

A committee of Cross Party MP,s seem to see what the Prime Minister, Chancellor, Energy Minister, Business & Transport Ministers and others that are the Cabinet members and who form the Government can not see or speak out on. http://news.sky.com/story/goal-to-decarbonise-power-system-by-2035-jeopardised-by-lack-of-plan-12906589 Grant Shapps MP is a bit of a 'spacer' . Rishi Sunak MP just a happy clappy type. All is good with him!

DSG service @ each 40,000 miles or sooner. (if a 6 speed DQ250 DSG) Haldex service done properly not just oil change each 30,000 miles / 3 years or sooner.

@Paws4ThotAs well she should as i am around and about taking the effort to report in faulty chargers & working ones and help people out where i can to get their vehicle charged which is more than her or her co-leader are doing much off. They are more of an obstruction to net zero than an aid. The 2 of them should maybe travel by EV to more rural areas with a CPS card and a mobile phone and see just how much there needs doing before many can use EV's for their own, families or work / business needs around Scotland and further afield. The Ministerial Limo might well be an EV that she gets driven in. It might just be one of the Skoda Superb though that the First Minster & Deputy used to get taken about in.

Some are more severe in how they react than others. Some can be set to how much they do nudge you / or behave. Using the Indicators where there are actual lines to cross / lanes to change does mean it is disabled for that manoeuvre.

@Phutters Assumption is where you run into the issue, the mother of all ****-ups. head for thinking, feet for dancing, and for me with only a left leg that could be an artificial foot to the right. I would just say that you are very observant. Also you need to make up your own mind what there is below the persons feet. That would be the person that posted that picture of a Service Certificate in another thread on Service History. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/479953-serving-question

It takes all of a minute to reset after you read the manual on how to reset it. It is there as a warning of a sudden deflation for those that can not notice a blow out or even just a loss of pressure or change in circumference or the tyre since the TPMS last set. It will tell you in the manual quite likely to reset the system to check it occasionally.

Quite possibly not. Like the Recycle Scheme in Scotland that is not going ahead and has just lost 60 people their jobs. (well jobs that were not required in the first place.) Announced by the Scottish Green co-leader & a member of the Government in Scotland today. Can not organise a pith up and glass recycling in a brewery or any place else. But then the UK Government made sure they could not. http://scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/lorna-slater-announces-drs-company-30280126 But then people can put their glass in the recycle bins there are already available and without paying and then getting a deposit refund. They can put cans and plastic bottles and cartons in the appropriate bins as well. (We did pay a deposit for lemonade bottles for decades with at least 4 companies in Scotland and it was 20 pence deposit with the last that did it, not the 10 pence that some remember which was a long time back. Us that actually bought the lemonade / pop / ginger knew the cost & how much we got refunded.)
