Egr cooler help
Bypass the cooler so that no coolant runs through it; see if coolant loss ceases. Can't offer detailed practical guidance on how to do it, but it probably involves a little plumbing ingenuity.

Advice wanted - MoT failure emissions - would you scrap or save?
@JamieH86I've woken up this morning with another thought about this. The problem with the misfiring cylinder could be a problem with the injector loom, rather than the injector? Might be good to check that before spending lots on refurbished injectors and fitting? Or even something mechanical like a hydraulic lifter (tappet)?

Give it a try then. Nothing to lose.

If the chain has jumped a tooth somewhere you really don't want to be trying to start it. But if that has happened, any damage was probably done straight away as soon as it jumped. Did the problem occur at start-up, or while driving? What symptoms were there?

I'd be checking the chain timing if it was mine. (Crankshaft/camshaft correlation problem).

P0058 appears to be an oxygen sensor code in my Google?

This ebay listing for a cgpa inlet manifold shows the position, on the opposite end of the manifold to the throttle body. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304414591091 Second from last pic even shows the screws and part numbers.

Hatboy Harvey has a 1.9TDI doesn't he? His MAP sensor is going to be different and in a different place than on a 1.2 petrol. Held in by 1 or two screws at most on yours I should think, might well be standard Torx screw yes. What makes you think it needs replacing? They almost never do on your engine type.

Variable servicing can't be set ?
Oil level sensor and QI6 servicing code at delivery both confirmed.

I think they stopped supplying stickers with car details about 5 or 6 years back. Will read/reply to your message shortly. Just sat down to eat.

Sounds like a good plan to me if you have the money to do the lot in one go. Get a friend to follow you before and after the job to see if there's a noticeable drop in tailpipe smoke. Although I guess if it's running on three just now, it's probably not going to be a fair comparison!

Variable servicing can't be set ?
In my post about oil level/temperature sensor I did offer to look up whether you had it if you weren't sure. I still can, via reg plate or VIN, but I think Ootohere is probably correct that it will have.

Perhaps they've gone back to it with the Scala?

Do you know if the car has an oil level/temperature sensor in the sump? If that's not there, I think you wouldn't be able to set it to variable. I could check with VIN or reg plate number if you're not sure.

MkII THROTTLE BODY
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316063424221 There's another one, from Lithuania, but it looks pretty grubby/rough all over.

MkII THROTTLE BODY
03F 133 062 is what is listed for your car, and it has not been superseded by any other part number. Skoda want £477 + VAT!! A quick look on ebay suggests you could get a secondhand 03F 133 062 for £50, which might be worth the gamble. I don't see posts about failures very often at all on here, so I think they're generally pretty reliable, therefore used ones may well be fine. In the case of this part, I wonder if the different suffix letters might indicate different diameters, for different engine sizes? Just a guess. Worth a good look at the wiring near it first though, in case there's some obvious damage/corrosion of connector contacts etc.

Did the replacement pedal get tried? Will look up about TB in a few minutes.

MkII THROTTLE BODY
If you let me know the reg plate number or VIN I can look up the current part number suggested. Different suffixes can indicate quite different, incompatible parts sometimes. Have you read 03F133062 off the existing TB?

Skoda fabia mk1 2007
It's actually normal for the door looms to have splices where single brown earth wires split off to two or three places, it may be that you're looking at this, with some more recent tape added. Check that the motor currently fitted to driver's door is 6Y2959802, and also says SK240DDRS on the same label. Passenger side motor is a slave to the driver's side master unit, so won't work more than briefly until it's got a working driver's side one. I can repair the drivers side module, if it's the correct part. Message me for details if you like.

Is it both windows that are working for a while then stop? If so that's usually a sign of a failing driver's side module.

Front O/S brake sticking on.
Well done, and thanks for coming back to let us know what fixed it. 👍
-
well its that time the year and its engine swap time
Oh, even better then. Take the front right off out of the way.

Hinging front open round the aircon pipes will make everything easier, I think, but haven't tried without. Pretty quick and easy to open up the front.
