My 54 Fabia VRS is drinking collant like there's no tomorrow. No obvious leak and I've resorted to carrying a spare bottle in the boot. Before heading off to the garage, anyone had anything similar or know of probable cause? cheers

Get car into garage for pressure water test to locate leak source, is my suggestion.

Fabia vRS rough idol on cold start-up

AJR77 · 14 hours ago14 hr

I’m having a issue on start-up from cold there is a noticeable lumpy idling. This hasn’t caused any massifier codes when scanning via VCDS. Last year as part of the service the sparkplugs were changes but the rough idol is getting more noticeable. My Audi had the same issue that eventually resulted in constant misfire. That was diagnosed as having a carbon build-up. I don’t want to have the same issue occurring with the Fabia. As the CTHE is direct injection and has done 41k miles I’m guessin

Blower fan not working

Blower fan not working

Piska07 · 11 hours ago11 hr

Hello .I recently bought a Skoda Superb MK3. After a few days the fan stopped working. I changed the blower fan but it still doesn't work (the one on the car was already changed with a aftermarket). I checked the fuse and it's ok, I bought another resistor and it still doesn't work. I checked the wires and they have 12v. When I press the AC button the light doesn’t appear. On the diagnostics I found these errors. What could it be? Thank you

Tailgate rattle

Bobsko1 · 18 hours ago18 hr

I have a 70 reg 1.5 SEL saloon. Travelling over any type of rough surface causes a rattling at the rear of the car. I have removed all loose items from the boot to no avail. I don't think it is the parcel shelf moving around. Could it be that the tailgate is not shutting tightly onto the frame of the car? Possible causes and remedies most welcome. Thanks, Bobsko1

Hi guys, I'm loosing my mind. 7 mechanics and no fix. 2022 2.0tsi Kodiaq (DNNA engine code) 40k miles Despite being under warranty, I'm already out of pocket £1550 because "there is nothing wrong with the car". Car spent a total of 18 working days across 3 garages. 2x Skoda dealers and 1x Independent Specialist place with outstanding feedback and a great bunch of guys. The issue. When accelerating car makes a kettle whistle noise and wooshing/boost drop noise when lifting throttle. Every ti

Extended crank when cold 2.0tsi GPF

UndertheRadar · Wednesday at 10:224 days

Adding this for anyone that comes across the same issue. Noticed a slightly extended crank a day or so ago, along with a few seconds worth of poor idle and then ran as normal. Checked for codes, and none showing. Checked plugs when I got home again and all ok. Checked the lpfp count and was at or around 50% at idle. No hesitation or misfires and none detected on scanner. Rail holding pressure within parameters and both lpfp and hpfp showing requested and actual pressures where they should b
