A Fabia VRS (2005) says "Hi !" from France

5 November, 20233 yr

Hi folks,

my name is "Pépette", I'm a first hand Fabia VRS bought in 2005 in France so please forgive my froggy's english...

I'm about 250 000 km and after the usual swaps, as wheels + lights + glasses + turbo + air + coolings + electricity + valves + exhaust etc, I must say "I'm still ferocious" but I've got a "rear joints" sealing (known?) problem, so here I am hoping to find some useful informations and advices...

I've got the "technical revue skoda fabia-2000-2006.pdf" so I can share it here if it helps.

Thank you all for reading me, I'm happy to be here !

Hello and welcome, Pépette! 🤝

The best place to start will be here, I should think. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/26-skoda-fabia-mk-i-1999-2007/

Haynes Manual Fabia MK3

BazzY · 16 minutes ago16 min

Having used Haynes workshop manuals for many years (and many cars) I was dismayed to find they had discontinued printed manuals when we got our Fabia 3 1.2tsi - same story with Octavia 3 1.6 TDi. Lots of stuff available on the web of course but less convenient and can be confusing! Idly browsing recently - SURPRISE !! - they've started doing them again. And they are now printed on better paper with better pictures. So in case this has gone unnoticed by other dinosaur home mechanics I thought I

A few questions regarding the Kodiaq – brake light, Start-Stop and Travel Assist

A few questions regarding the Kodiaq – brake light, Start-Stop and Travel Assist

superB_LK · yesterday at 12:371 day

Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding my Kodiaq its a 2024 2.0 TDI 147 kW 4x4 (not the latest but the facelift from 2021-2024) and would appreciate some feedback from other owners. Third brake light: Does anyone else experience an issue where the third brake light (high-mounted brake light) briefly illuminates when using the turn signals? I noticed that on motorways in the night. Start-Stop system: Is it possible to permanently disable the Start-Stop system using OBDeleven on this mode

1997, white. Two donor cars in its history, a yellow one so probably a fun and a red one, which I think was a 4 door. It's been sitting in an industrial unit for 12 year, one owner from new, some welding evident to rear turrets and 'most of the flatbed' Needs welding on the front upper wing supports and to the windscreen frame. I'm wondering if the weld in panels from a mk1 caddy would be a close enough match because they can still be got. The most

Rear springs...replace?

Rear springs...replace?

fatscoleymo · 1 May, 20224 yr

Morning, in a bit of a pickle down in France. Sorry for long post. 2012 estate cr140. Drove down 800 miles into France to collect caravan from storage, then towed a couple of hours to a two night stop. Everything seemed fine, car pulled the van no issues as it has before. Then set off south on a planned 6 or 7 hour run to Millau on route to the coast. After a few hours on motorway there was a loud bang, thought maybe I had run over something, but we both saw nothing. I pulled ov

Adapting ECU after timing chain has been renewed

WesleyG · 2 hours ago2 hr

I'm going to replace my timing chain in my Toledo 1.2 TSI with CBZB engine. The official Seat procedure from ERWIN says: - The engine control unit must always be adapted after the timing chain has been renewed or after the previously removed timing chain has been reinstalled. - Depending on whether a new or a previously removed timing chain is being installed, different procedures for adapting the engine control unit apply. - If the learnt values are not adapted, consequential damage may result
