Hi all! been lurking a little while & thought it about time I introduced the pair of us!😉
My Yeti is 2013 2.0 140 DSG 4x4 L&K with 106k miles, after buying it I had the cam belt done, Haldex & DSG serviced by a VAG Indy, &the infotainment system (RNS-510 Dab) is off being repaired (constantly restarting).
It's a fabulous car to drive, & hopefully will be more reliable than my Jag xf!!😆
I'm 64, & do a lot of my own work on my cars, using Indys when the work is above my pay grade!
Just outside Cambridge UK
I'll leave it there!
See you in the forums!!
Regards
Skippy

Good afternoon to all where ever you are in the world I hope this hello is being posted the right place if not the site staff will assist me I'm sure.

I live in Barbados and there's somewhat of very small Skoda community here (Stress on the phrase VERY SMALL) last Skoda fabia model sold in Barbados was in 2005 said thing for the Octavia models, at present there is no representation for Skoda in Barbados, perhaps may never be

again, time will tell.

I own and drive a mk1 fabia hatchback with the BBZ engine

Hi and welcome to Briskoda 👋

Normally we ask you to introduce yourself in your own topic instead of adding to someone else's but as you're new here we'll just overlook that 😁👍

Feel free to make another one if you like or if not that's cool as well

Hello there thanks so much for your kind assistance, just trying to make certain that I abide by all community rules which I've read thus far

I've tried in the past to become a member of this community but for some reason lost track, anyhow now is What counts and it feels good to be here I'm hopeful

If I'm allowed I would like please to make an inquiry, I've tried searching the fabia forums and have not found anything matching my specific issue so here goes:

When I purchased this car 3 years ago it became a different learning curb for me, mind you this is my second one the first being the 2005 model, anyhow, I observe that on cold start the car, after a few secs of idling would tremble then gradually sort of smoothen out as the engine reaches temperature.

Let's fast forward: had a lube service done by a mechanic not Skoda trained but who worked for the then company that sold them at the time, when he plugged in his scanning tool the reading kept asking for this "TCM". We then figured out that the computer I purchased the car with is for the automatic version so trouble in the camp ever since

Hi. Go to the MkI Fabia section (link below) and click on 'Start new topic' (Green tab in pic below) and ask there. Not many people read the welcome section but if you do what I've suggested, other owners will get to see it and hopefully help you out ✌
Maybe you can copy and paste from here?
