if i change my air filter on my fabia , would it void my warranty or my free three years servicing?

In a word no.

Change to an OEM filter or change to an after market K+N type??

Sorry, but do you mean you replaced your vehicles air filter with a new replacement filter, or a performance one like a Pipercross panel or similar.

or you have done away with the standard Airbox & fitted a Cone Filter or and Induction system, or something like that?

I have a revo replacement and I change back to standard for service time.

Others will give a better and more positive answer than me.

Me,

i cant see the point of buying a small economic or cheap to insure diesel then changing the filter to make more noise and probably use more fuel.

Just me tho, boring!

Same answer tho, cant see the point of buying a small economical petrol or cheap to insure

and changing a filter to make more noise and probably be less economic.

keep the filter you took out then change back before service/warranty

No it does not void warranty, I have the 1.4 tsi Fabia vrs with a pipercross panel filter within the standard airbox, with a custom intake which had been fitted from day one of purchase.

I had an engine replacement at 7k, I serviced the car myself, being a mechanic, on 10k using genuine filters and oil, while the car was on the ramp i fitted Skoda approved eibach lowering springs, now the car is on 13.5k and the gearbox is in for replacement all free of charge by the 3 year warranty.

hope this helps
