Our First Skoda - Fabia 1.9Tdi

Hello All,

I have just bought a 2008 57 plate 44K miles Fabia for my wife to replace her Citroen C2. It feels like luxury compared to the C2 and has much more go.

Reading on these forums there seems to be a lot about wheel alignment. Is there anything I should be aware of?

My only history with Skodas is a friend who put a 2 litre Fiat Twin Cam in the back of his Radpide. That was quick!

Hello & welcome!

Are you from Kent? I seem to remember someone in my area doing that back in the day?

Engine cut out, now won't start?

Hi everyone. First off, apologies if this has already been covered. I did take a look but couldn't find anything specific. For history, it's a 13 plate TDI vrs Octavia (MK2) was rattling like a good un' so replaced clutch and flywheel (and slave cylinder) did do a SMFW conversion too. Turns out, that WAS a problem, but the gearbox is also shot, so that's on my list to replace next. Started and drove home fine that night. Next day, I drove it to work (about 20 minutes) no problems. On my way

Hi All, I'm new to the forum, this being my first post. I am loving the community so far. I have not long ago got a new to me 2016 Octavia Scout. ODBEleven is showing a P047000 'Exhaust Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit'. I did a little searching around has not found much about this exact fault code. Does any one know what the fault is or can point me in the right direction please?

Octavia II Gearbox Drain / Fill Plug

-mike- · Wednesday at 15:364 days

Hey all, Managed to get under my partners car at the weekend to service it and change the oil. Whilst there I was quite taken by how clean the engine was, but there was a patch of what looked like oil on the undertray. This was later discovered to be coming (I believe) from the gearbox drain plug. The car has had a new clutch, flywheel and replacement box in the last twelve months and so I can only assume there's an issue with the drain plug or a seal. Looking really closely at the drain plug

Electric tow bar: coding not working: suggestions?

Benja77 · 13 June13 Jun

Hi there! I recently installed on my car an OEM Electric tow bar on my 1.5, but pressing the button inside the trunk, nothing comes out from under the boot. According to Skoda workshop, problem was the control unit: it was the model specific for electric cars with part number Skoda 5H2907383B; in fact looking on VAG the right code for my car is the 5H2907383BLc. I found a pre-owned one over eBay and when mechanic connected it and turned car on, it enlightened itself for awhile. Is it matter o
