Anyone got a picture of the location where i have to replace the gasket for the 14mm one? Think i know where it it but need an actual picture so im 100%

Found something useful elsewhere...

Also.... 11 or 12mm are likely better sizes for the hole. 9mm causing an EML to appear and 14 maybe not completely fixing the stutter.

Excellent link cheers bud i never realised the gasket was metal :/ think i could use other material to make one?

Some pictures from the time when I did mine. Position 11 on the diagram is where I put the gasket (you can see this in the engine picture). At 9mm (as supplied) the engine management light would come on occasionally if I drove in maximum economy mode (like a granny), but it would go off again when driven normally. I expanded it to 10.5mm which seemed the best compromise. The "official" Skoda fix which was later withdrawn due to high NOx emissions was 14mm, but this did not eradicate the stutter.

Thanks bud, im making my own gasket out of steam flange gasket material. If it works ok ill make gaskets for anyone who has the same problem give a little back to the fabia owners out there

PROBLEM FIXED

Hey guys, just made and fitted my own gasket and its fixed the hesitation issue

Bolts and gasket removed ( 6mm allen key )

Gasket material i used ( steam pipework gasket )

Old 24mm gasket and new gasket drawn up ( 10mm centre hole not drawn yet )

Gasket cut out compared to old one.

Fiddly job but worth it

Are these available to buy?,got this problem but not sure what material to use & having trouble finding suitable locally.

Pm me your address and ill send you one bud

Blanco! Did you use your gasket with the steel one or on its own? Fitting Bowens and just wondered if you used both as its not an ally one.

But now I think about it, being a steam pipe gasket sheet it should be fine on its own?

I just used the gasket i made on its own mate, can easily handle the temp.

Well, small update. Had my home made gasket on for over 3000 miles and still running sweet glad the flat spot has gone as it was a pain in the ass!

Fitted your gasket today blanco, positive results also

Joshh, fitted it to my gf's Ibiza.

Cheers blanco and joshh.

No worries bud when i first fitted it i wasn't expecting much but the difference it made the the way it drives put a big smile on my face i don't know how the chick who owned it before me put up with it!

Can't believe this small change made so much difference,not only eliminated the judder at 1800rpm but made it a more pleasant drive all round.

As Blanco says don't know how the previous owner stuck it only had the car a week & it was getting on my wick.
