Purchased a '04 Fabia vRS

Featured Replies

Hi Fellow Skoda Owners :thumbup:

Just bought myself a '04 Fabia vRS 1.9TDi.

Very happy with the test drive, pick it up from the dealship in two weeks time.

I'm not new to Skoda Ownership as the misses bought a '99 Felicia from new (serviced and maintained by yours truly).

I'm a great fan of VAG cars, currently run a Audi S6 Avant (have owned various other Audi's in the past).

The only options it hasn't got is Xeon and SatNav.

It has FSH, summer and winter tyres

I can't get over how torquey the engine is esp 2nd & 3rd, very quick as well. I also like the idea of 45+ mpg :)

This is also the first diesel car I have owned.

Looking forward to chatting more

Cheers for reading, if your still awake...

All the best

Mark

Hi,

Many thanks for the welcome!

Indeed this really is an excellent site - loads to read and digest!

Can't wait to take proper delivery of the car (it needs a service, spare wheel was missing, I noticed a very, very small rust bubble on the tailgate - this is getting sorted properly - this all helped me get a better price as well)

The only concern I have is that the mileage is above average for the age? 130k KM - or is this normal? Belt was changed a tad before the 120k mark.

Cheers

Opps...2 years since I last posted here (sorry) :blush:

Car was going a treat up untill last week - split water hose, new one has been ordered.

Have since fitted a lowering kit from DPM Performance and been keeping up with the servicing. I have also fitted a set of Green Stuff brake pads.

Few pics of the suspension after lowering....
