Hi all, looking to finally buy myself a fabia vrs, after going to the dark side of vauxhall im back and searching for another (faster) fabia

What should i look out for when viewing 2nd hand cars?

Any advice would be very helpful and what should i look to be paying?

Thanks in advance

Hi, there are a couple common fault threads on here but I'm at work so can't find them for ya right now, but if you search I'm sure they'll show up

common fault all four door seals leak so look for signs of wet seats or footwells

alternatively if you really want a "faster" VRS i believe theres a fully modified 250BHP version for sale around here somewhere

Or you could buy an octavia vrs, if you wanted a faster vrs...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

How much you looking to spend

Kev

cheers pastyboy but im ideally looking for a completely standard one so i can do it all myself and feel the difference from putting a box on etc

Just wanting to know if you would reccomend anything else to watch out for?

should there be a cambelt change after so many miles etc..

and do miles matter, people keep telling me diesels go on forever, is this right?

This thread might be helpful.

How they have been driven is more important, a high mileage one that has gently cruised the motorways will not be as worn out as a low mileage one thats been ragged to near death.

Cambelts due at 60,000 miles and not too expensive to have done.

Sold my Fab VRS at 70,000 miles and had no problems at all, great cars.....
