Hi all.

I just wanted to check that this is correct. I was checking a few bits today and noticed the engine was shaking slightly.

Is this characteristics of the 1.4TSI?

Skoda fabia vrs:

Ta

In the nicest possible way,

 

Sounds sh1te, !  Not Right, Wrong, Bad,  Skoda Fail.

 

Are you running it on 99 ron?

 

Whats the story, whos been touching it,

How many Miles has it done,  what age of car?

Agreed it should sound sweet as a nut. Thats sounds a bit like a diesel. Summat defo not right there.

Its always run 99 either shell or tesco.

Brought at new. Not been touched as of yet, service next month.

Only been topped up with oil when needed. Checked every week.

13k miles.

It needs to go on the Diagnostics soon, very soon.

 

Drive it with care.

Low miles,  but get all 4 spark plugs checked.

 

Do not thrash it,

i have never heard a Twincharger sound that bad.

Even one running on 3 cylinders.

 

No idea what is wrong, sorry.

 

??? What were you doing to it, before taking the Video,

have you had the plastic Cover off,

Was it OK up to now?

Ok, thanks George and mick.

I have had the exhaust warning light once. Hasn't come on since.

Would skoda assist help?

I just parked up from driving home from work. Around 30miles.

Just opened the bonnet. Nothing touched

They will tell you to go to the Dealer.

 

Buy if you were driving, and had to stop & call, they would put it on the Diagnostic and get Codes.

 

Do not put off getting it checked.

Thanks. I shall get it checked.

Doesn't sound good!

Agree with everything George has said.

Is this the First Service it is getting, is it on Variable Servicing?

sounds like a sowing machine, not good at all

It is on variable servicing. Skoda uk confirmed this.

The first service was going to be done very soon.

I wonder whats wrong :/

It could be on 3 cylinders, and there does sound like something broken.

(sounds more like on 2 cylinders to me.)

 

A spark Plug tip off.  a Valve Gone, a Broken Ring,  just so many things to guess at.

Lets hope nothing of the sort.

 

The Video sound is good,

the engine is very bad.

Skoda assist came out this morning. 

 

Plugged in code reader, no faults found. check injectors all seated correctly. Mr assist seemed to think the engine tone was normal... 

 

Next step a Skoda dealer, 

If you can be bothered,

After its cooled down properly,   How about filming it again,  but on Start Up.

 

Just listened to post #1 again, and really can not believe how it sounds.

Did it drive OK today?

Seemed to drive OK today. 

I shall film on Cold Startup and after a run... 

Mine sounds like that at idle with the bonnet open, I do remember thinking to myself it sounds like a diesel. Never had any issue with it, covered nearly 19k. In for its second service very soon though. Might just see what the dealer says about it.

It sounds sort of normal, but not at the same time. There is certainly something making a slightly unhealthy sound.

Would be interesting to whip the plugs out and see what condition they are in. A slight misfire could be causing it.

When I leave work I'm going to start mine cold with the bonnet open and film the results to compare.

Here is my cold idle for comparison.

Idle at cold.

Note: The camera isnt shaking its the engine

Skoda vrs cold start:

That doesn't sound healthy. :-(

Thank goodness neither of mine have sounded like that, hot or cold; they still both have high oil consumption, but in spec.

Tony

sounds a bit like theres an air leak
