Hi guys, long term lurker,

 

My Skoda Fabia '02 1.9TDi PD100 is in need of some TLC. I'm looking to move it on shortly, but hopefully to a family member so would like to address a few issues. Except, I'm useless beyond an oil change, and garages rarely have much experience on these older cars now.

 

1) Gear box struggles into first and reverse. I'm hoping this just requires a linkage reset. I try to avoid the need to reverse as much as possible these days, luckily I can roll into my driveway. The tutorial seems fairly straightforward until it confuses which engine type is left, or right.

 

2) Aircon Evap Temp Sensor. The good people at Dragon Aircon diagnosed this as the issue. The system otherwise holds gas well. I can buy the part but I've heard mixed feedback on how long it takes.

 

3) Driver's lock seems to be sticking, which eventually causes the windows to drop. I've found a way around this, but still need to get the lock changed without deadlocking the rear doors.

 

So what I'm looking for is someone in the South Wales (or Bristol/Glos) way that has some experience fixing these issues (all quite common it would seem)? I'm happy to travel.

 

I'd be willing to make it worth your time. Anyone interested?

Just find an independant VW specialist, every area has at least one.

Yeah I guess so.
