Does the reg end in nnz?

No totally different. As far as I'm aware the grille is standard to the Monte Carlo Black Edition.

All the images in the Monte Carlo register thread have the same colour coded grill

I’ve only ever seen one before and I part run the Facebook owners club 

I've just joined that!! Are you talking about the grill being black? Not sure if I'm missing something.....

Or do you mean the bit either side of the Skoda badge that is white on mine?

Yeah that bit 

Ah with you now! Like the one you saw mine is a 64 plate, a quick Google search on images and it's 64 plate ones that come up with that colour coding in white so possibly just a variant for that year. First car I've bought based on looks and performance as opposed to all my previous ones based on practicality and intended use and I love it!!!

Car: Monte Carlo 105 TDi hatch

Registered : April 2012 - Bought 27th Dec 2017 (12 Plate)

Colour: Black with Red interior

Options: Heated Seats, Cruise Control, Rear Sensors.

Aftermarket Options: Towbar which i been re-assured has not towed Caravan!!

Mods: Audi TT 16" Speedline Alloys with 205 45 16 winter tyres. (offset gives another 10mm to track width)  LED Side Lights, LED DRL's, HID Xenon kit(yet to fit)

Future Mods: Sell Monte Carlo 17" and get some VRS 17", Replace Swing Headunit with something that has DAB and Bluetooth, Possible another parcel shelf so i can have 2, Audi S1 Brakes on the front. Possible Maxidot

On Thursday I got a Monte Carlo 63 plate registered jan2014, diesel estate in race blue, with 29000 miles on the clock, it came with wind deflectors but apart from that it seems standard. I'm looking for suitable seat covers but not sure what will fit right due to the bucket seats and whether to go black, red ,(to go with the stitching)  or blue to match the outside, any opinions welcome, but it is a great drive just a shame I've got to work to pay for it rather than driving it about all day. And I'm sure there are other things that I'll do to it in the future. I will get a picture up when light and weather are playing nice

Sorry don't do Facebook, and luckily got the garage I bought it from to refurbish the alloys and fix a scratch that happened in there forecourt. And I actually was thinking that I haven't actually see another blue Monte estate about then on sat morning I seen one with roof cross bars at Jct 3 m 27  and thought wow another then 5 minutes later heading east bound on the M27 I seen what I thought was the same one going past me untill I realized that it never had the cross bars (I was in lorry working at the time) so I suppose they are like busses don't see any then two turn up

Is that on the coil overs because it's got a nice stance but I don't think lowering is on the cards as I've had land rovers and last car was a  nissan  xtrail so still paranoid about the lack of ground clearance especially the front spoiler and because I got a car I trust for milage I'm planning on visiting mum and stepdad in moray

Yeh it's on coilovers only in the last week, needs spacers tho to fill the arches, I go to a few shows an meets with it so more into the look than speed but iv heard wi a remap it's nippy aswel... depends if I have it long enough to bother, cracking car cheap to run being a family wagon 

Here's my newly collected 62 plate 105 tsi. 

 

Good days worth of machine polishing yesterday leaves me with this!

 

plans are a desperately needed wheel refurb or another set of 17's if anyone has any ideas,M also a new head unit or Bluetooth of some sort. 

 

This weeks task is have a look at the rear drums......!

Put Pioneer AVH-X3600DAB in mine DAB and Bluetooth. Only downside is rear parking sensor now only bleep 

 

Now on 16" winters and did the rear light modification using Vauxhall Astra rear light. (Light is installed correct just the angle of the shot makes it look badly installed)

That s lovely! The winters look better than my summers and the head unit makes it!

Hi folks.

Just a couple of weeks ago I bought a second-hand, 2014 Fabia Estate (Monte Carlo). It was a private sale, so no warranty.

However, the fuel line keeps disconnecting from the fuel filter (I think that’s what they are!). This not only means the car won’t start, but also leaves a nice puddle of petrol under the car!

I am hopeless at mechanical things, but am reluctant to take it to a garage so soon after purchase.

Is this a common fault?

And, more importantly, can a novice like me fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Im sure it not common and looking at the youtube tutorial they look to be push fit items so within the skills of a novice. Maybe they need a little more force to be secure.

Hi k7aus.

Thanks for the advice!

Please will you post a link to the video? I’ve searched but must be looking in the wrong place.

I’ve pushed it back on a couple of times, but it keeps coming off again. Brute force and ignorance are my forte, so perhaps I need to be a bit heavier handed.

Thanks again!
