Occasional starting problem

Followers

1 March, 200719 yr

Every so often when trying to start my 2001 1.8T it seems to take far longer to catch when the key is turned. Has done it both when the engine is cold or warm. On the odd occasion the revs have also shot up and down for a few seconds before calming down. I had an EGR, MAF and DV replaced last year to cure an erratic idle. Could the above be connected? Any thoughts?

Cheers

Slightly loose gear knob

Slightly loose gear knob

MonkeyBoy2283 · 12 hours ago12 hr

I have a 2020 manual and I have a slight play with the gear knob at the end (please excuse the euphemism), I am able to twist the knob slightly, its not so loose that it feels like its coming off, but the main stick is not moving at all its just the end, so it’s not the actual gearbox. Is this normal or something that can be tightened, as I can not find a picture of the inside of the Mk4, in the Mk3 it seems to be held in place with a metal clip, so if the Mk4 is made the same way, I’m guessin

Windscreen washers not working in both front and end
Skoda Fabia Mk3 (2014-2021)

Windscreen washers not working in both front and end

ebay · yesterday at 21:221 day

Hi Folks, Both the front and rear window washers on my MK3 Fabia not working but window wipers do operate. Google it and go through the last posts but no clue. 1) No pump sound 2) My friend help to test the fuses no. 22, 27, 31 and 46, are all fine 3) At pump, the voltage around 11.x V but it will dropped to around 0.5v when turn on the wipers 4) The washer reservoir is full 5) The car battery replaced last summer with normal 12.6V Any idea please, Many thanks in advance

I’ve recently bought a 1.0 Octavia estate etec it didn’t come with mats and I’m struggling to find mats that fit! Even genuine ones from Skoda themselves wouldn’t fit Has any one else had this issue and if so did you manage to sort it out ?
