I have recently purchased a fabia TDI on a 53 plate from Robinsons, on the drive home i found the heater was stuck on hot & the rear brakes squeaked horrendously.The car was returned the next day & both faults were fixed (new discs & pads at the rear) I now have an ongoing situation with a noise from the gearbox the car has been assed by robinsons who admitted that the box was noisey although skoda warranty engineer says the noise is acceptable for a car with 50k. i am still waitng for a return call yet again first time it was 3 weeks and i rang them now its another week and still no call .Tue 6 june call from robinsons car going in next week for total gearbox rebuild, loan car for duration of the work. Dealer principal on hols! so i have to say i cannot fault robinsons skoda for thier service especially Damien Pavy sales Manager ,top man.

HI, i wonder if anyone has experienced any premature gearbox noise/ wear on a fabia TDI PD 100.I have recently bought an 03 plate TDI from my local main dealer in norwich and after 2 weeks & 600 miles returned the car to them complaining of gearbox noise and diff noise at low speed they drove the car and agreed with me that there was some noise present and they would get an engineer from skoda warranty to drive the car. He arrived 2 weeks later drove the car and announced that there was some noise but it was par for the course for a 55,000 mile car. I cannont accept this as i also have an 01 plate 110,000 mile sdi with no gearbox noise at all. The TDI has full main dealer history from new the sdi main dealer history up untill i bought it with 78k on at 18 months old serviced by myself from then on.I am not a novice as i am a commercial mechanic with over 30 years in the trade, I invite any comments on this. UPDATE I received a call from the sales manager this morning ( june 6) asking me if i it we possible for them to have the car next week as they would like to rebuild my gearbox. as i understand they are standing the cost themselves and are loaning me a car for the duration of the work.They accept that there should be no noticable noise fron the box at this mileage and are amending the situation accordingly.I will update more after i get the car back so hats off to Damien at robinsons a man of his word.

Hi there i wonder if anyone can help me with a bizarre problem on my fabia 1.9 sdi. After driving the car for a few miles and switching off the engine when i re-start the engine blips the revs twice from idle to 1300 then after moving away the idle will remain at 1100 for about 2 minutes.The temp gauge is very slow to move in cold weather but is fine in the summer. The coolant is getting hot as the heater blows hot air with the gauge still on cold.Coul it be the coolant temp sensor has a deadspot and this is sending a false signal to the ecu i have carried out a fault code read and no faults found.I am an HGV mechanic and have struggled to sort this. Problem solved faulty coolant temp sender send a signal to the ECU buy a genuine skoda one not a pattern part as they appear to have the wrong values.
