I'm now officially out of the register, as I've gone back to Ford after 8 years of enjoyable Skoda ownership. I've bought what's called a "Trend" grade Focus here in Australia. Really impressed so far, and I'm nowhere near working out all of the stuff it can do. I haven't had a chance to take any pics, but here's a link to a similar car in the identical colour. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...17469468/?Cr=4

They replaced my clutch packs and mechatronics, although the car was still (just days) inside warranty.

I found this looking through some old photos.😀 I suppose I should have been doing 66km/h for bonus points.😞

Looks like a common question: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/200669-eibach-springs-what-are-these-bits/

You will need to change the shocks to something like Bilstein B8s as well, as the ride is very hard* with the Eibach lowering springs on standard shocks. *Actually, the ride is still hard even with the Bilsteins I have, albeit more bearable.

Maybe there is some build up of lime etc in the nozzle. I find the nozzles in our shower-heads at home get crusted over time from hard water.

From memory, it's about 650ml from top of cross-hatch to bottom of cross-hatch.

Mine's too old, so off the hook... https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recall/volkswagen-group-australia-pty-ltd-t-as-skoda-australia-skoda-fabia-my2013-2015-octavia-my2009-2015-rapid-my2014-2015-roomster-my2013-2014-superb-my2009-2015-yeti-my2013-2015

Check the battery.

Might be some help in here - doesn't look like a rare event. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/289272-bonnet-release-broken/

Out of curiosity, what was done to fix the "oil issue"? Also, the water pump is about $1000 for parts and labour. Mine went at under 50,000km, and I'm now at 82,000 (hoping it's not required again before 100,000).

Do Mk1 alloys fit Mk2? If so, then logically whatever applies to to the Seat/Mk1 combination should apply to the Seat/Mk2 one.

Words don't do it justice.🤯 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/SKODA-Fabia-2012/OAG-AD-16208689/?Cr=6
