Hi guys,

 

The many years of owning my beloved mk1 vRS are sadly coming to an end. It has been the best car I have ever owned and still puts a smile on my face :-) Unfortunately the recent discovery of two MOT failure faults on top of many longer standing non-MOT faults has lead me to try sell her for spares/repairs. She currently has one month left on the current MOT (expires 27th April). I want to buy a Yeti, boring eh? but I now need a practical larger car for family etc. I would consider trading her in against a Yeti but I'd rather sell her to interested forum members willing to use her as a donor car or breaking for spares/repairs. So I'm open to offers. I will also be making enquiries about how much a stealership is willing to offer me in part exchange and a potential buyer on here will have to beat that offer, I'm probably looking to get around £750. The potential buyer will also have to wait until I've sourced my replacement car before collecting, it is currently my everyday car. Any questions please ask. I am located near Daventry, Northants.

 

About the car:

56 plate Fabia vRS mk1

BLT engine

160,400 miles

Silver

Cloth interior

Cruise control

Powerflex poly bushes fitted.

Elephant hose mod.

EGR restrictor gasket fitted and turned down EGR function in VCDS.

Full service history, always used quantum platinum oil every 10,000 miles.

Engine just serviced: oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter. 

 

Known faults:

Split side passenger CV boot outboard side - MOT failure.

Seized handbrake cable passenger side - MOT failure.

Aircon not working - Fault code (No system pressure) - presumed stone damage to condenser.

Front windows not working, no idea why, checked all fuses, voltages, ground connections, seems to be a computer/signalling/software fault. No fault codes.

Head gasket leak, positive pressure builds up in system and forces coolant out of pressure release valve. System loses about 0.5l of coolant every 1000 miles. Tried K-seal but unfortunately didn't work.

 

Cheers,

Sam
