Thought you might have traded the vRS in for something more commodious - you notched up a decent amount of miles (in approx. 12 months?) and assume they were enjoyable .

[Wikinoob]

They were all fun miles buddy especially when I was out on my own! I've had to trade her in for a Peugeot 3008 economy mode again I'm afraid but happy with my decision now

Do all Fabia's have the counter weight on the bumper , or just the Vrs?

[Rooted]

Just the Fabia Mk2 vRS hatch.

They never found the need to sand bag the other sister cars from VW, Seat & Audi, 

they just needed to be able to show the Hatch as 5 kg heavier than the longer Fabia vRS Estate.

[Chibakun]

What is it countering, the driver or heavy engine? I don't understand why it's all on one side. 

 

It's so weird because why wouldn't the Monte need this if it was a real problem?

 

What's the total weight of all that iron?

Edited 13 February, 2018 by Chibakun

[Rooted]

25kg. 

It makes the front go light under acceleration.    & them Spare wheel 19kg.

The estate has stronger springs on the rear, is 9 3/4" longer but carries the same weights, does not go light under acceleration in the same way though.

The Polo GTI got the battery in the boot and no spare wheel as standard.

So when under the EU Testing the Polo, Ibiza & A1 Twinchargers were tested without optional extras.

 

That made the Hatch and Estate have the same Co2 g/km as the Ibiza, 1 VED band above the Polo & Ibiza Twinchargers that were on 215 tyres.

then 2013 with CTHE Engines in the Fabia & Ibiza only the Ibiza had the Co2 g/km figure lowered, the car was no lighter.

 

Skoda / VW were taking the P!55 in not alowing the cheapest and lightest car to be the quickest or have the best fuel economy. 

Every other manufacturer were weight saving, even Skoda was because that was supposed to be greener,

with the Mk3 Fabia they boasted on them being an Average 60 kg lighter.

 

Just think the cost of material to make those weights, and design and manufacture to fit on Euro 5 emission cars.

Weights at the rearmost part of the car, and then the Sister cars can tow, and the Hatch & Estate from Skoda are not approved as no tow weights were given, 

and the hatch could not have got a towbar anyway with those and the crash bar.

 

 

Reviewers / journalists never bothered to mention the wider tyres on the sister cars, the Polo GTI engineered to be balanced 

& the Fabia vRS hatch sandbagged to make it 5 kg heavier than the estate.

(does a longer roof and roof rails really make a difference 0-100 mph?)

Looks nice

Looks nice

[Wikinoob]

Cheers, thought I'd miss the vRS but the comfort and toys and mpg is second to none and then to see the kids faces not turning green when I'm driving is nice 

[Wikinoob]

Just wondering if anyone on here has seen or has purchased my old Furby

Is it worth removing them Then? Pros/cons. 

 

Thanks and apologies for jumping on this. 

[Rooted]

In the Skoda Guides section you will find the thread that that picture comes from.

Removing rear weights. 

No downside it stops the front end going light under acceleration,

but it has been said it can make the rear end a bit skittery. (loose that will be).  A Monte Carlo with a Remap and more oomph has no rear ballast weights .

I do not think the back end goes skittery, and if you are removing them maybe you are upgrading your suspension.

Maybe move the battery to the boot as the VW Polo GTI Twincharger had, this gives space in the engine compartment for a modified air intake.

After a couple of years off the forums, mainly due to not having my beloved Skoda Fabia 1.2 Combi, this weekend I should be picking up this 2012 Fabia VRS Estate.

Extras include Admundsen Sat Nav and Black pack. Hopefully all goes well
