Hi, folks.

I hope you can help. My friend has an MK1 Fabia 1.4 mpi, and a push rod has bent. Do you know where he can purchase one, new or used?

Part No.: 047109317

Thank you.

Had a look and can't find anyone in uk. Listed as No longer available. Might be worth trying VW/Skoda/Seat to see if there is any old stock anywhere? Another option is to find a blown engine and strip it down. You could try rolling it on a perfectly flat surface and try to straighten it if its not too badly bent.

I've been looking too. Unbelievable that they are no longer available anywhere. Much older stock of much older cars is easier to find.

I remember I ordered a part for my Estelle from a dealer years ago - I only needed one - and on the VW system it showed how often that part had been ordered. I was the only the second person to order that part in 10 years! And the remaining stock was marked as for being disposed of so the dealer sent me all the VW stock for the same money! I get the feeling it's the same with the pushrod. A little ordered item that has been disposed of due to low turnover. Shame.

If you are having trouble straightening it perhaps a local engineering company might be able to help. I straightened one years ago on a mates lathe. Wasn't perfect but it worked.
