Welcome Callum.

Have a look here. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/213819-the-extremely-useful-fabia-1-topic/#entry2521036

Hi and welcome aboard.

Hi Callum,

Good luck with the purchase. The Fabia and that diesel engine have good reliability.

Maybe beware of over-stressed 'chipped' cars and all turbos need regular oil changes.

You can ask (and search) the specific Fabia section and tech forums.

Good luck!

Andy.

Being an ex mk1 remapped furby vrs owner, it can be a stonking wolf in sheeps clothing, i would recommend you get an untouched one, & take it to a reputable mapper, who should be able to map it so it doesnt over strain the engine.

Mine just had a remap & panel filter, & did on quite a few occasions leave butt hugging large mercs & bmws on the motorway from 50-70 mph struggling to keep up.
