MK1 Fabia Vrs air filter replacement

Hello,

I've just replaced my standard air filter (drop in) and noticed that a lip is showing to the side. Is this normal? (i'm a bit of an amatuer when it comes to anything car related)

Apologies if the image isnt clear.

Yup. Normal. It confuzzled me a bit too. Thought I was doing something wrong.

Thanks guys, yeah i was replacing a green cotton one which doesn’t have the lip so i was working on the basis that it would fit in the same way.

I know....i knackered the green cotton on by cleaning it a little too enthusiastically. I popped it back in and my fuel economy was gone.....from 45mpg to 35 – 40mpg......

Lesson learned and thanks

Callum

Hi, i now have a Kodiac IV hybrid as my company car, 5 weeks old and already 5500 miles, so getting lots of use. Couple of things i have concerns about. The brakes don't seem to be up to the job, i thought it might be because they were new and would bed in, but sometimes i really have to stand on the pedal to get it to stop, i doubt weather they are strong enough to bring any form of anti lock into operation, and secondly, several times now i haven't been able to refuel, the pump nozzle clicks o

Different oils used for service

LuxoviaRS · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hi I would like some advice feedback. I just had my 3rd major service for my 2023 Skoda Octavia VRS and noticed that this time they used 0w-20 oil but the previous they used 0w-30w oil. According to my understanding the oil recommended for the tsi engine is 0w-20 to its thinner viscosity meeting emissions regulations and being better for the turbo engines under heavy loads than the 0w-30 which has a thicker viscosity.

Fabia Mk4 out of the dealer - missing stuff

BeaverRS · 25 minutes ago25 min

Hello everyone, We’ve just picked up a 2023 Fabia Mk4 Ambition. I’d like to ask a couple of questions: - The Bolero software is HW 120, SW 1790. Is there a more recent version? - I’d like to fit a flap to protect the boot sill. What’s the part number? Thanks Best regards

Phone not ringing for incoming calls

NGD · 19 hours ago19 hr

When I receive a call it does not now ring on the infotainment system although I can see I have a call on the screen. I wondered if it might be my phone so I tested it with my wife's, with the same result - or lack of. Both phones will ring in her car though. Any ideas please?
