Fabia's Gone!

Followers

1 July, 200718 yr

Well after a few weeks searching for something to replace my Fabia...

I today picked up my Ford Focus ST-2 2.5 T.

Had a 260 mile trip once I had signed for it to get it home.. What a difference! :cool:

I've now got quarter of a tank to use before I see how much a full tank will cost me...

I will post some pics as soon as it stops raining.

Whens the next Malthouse meet? Think I may have to save for that. :eek:

Orange STs:

Try any Essex road, at any time of the day, at any time of the year.

My mate has an orange one. Nice enough but I prefer my vRS.

The engine noise is great on the ST. The Skoda is just a little quiet.

And yeah my mates reckons he gets about 22mpg out of it but he is mostly in town.

2 July, 200718 yr

Damo, good on yer mate

Just be careful where you park it. A guy I work with has a blue one

and has had his paintwork vandalised a couple of times....

See you at the Malt House

doesn't the 330 involve a new turbo, where the 285 is just your normal "bolt ons" and a remap which is nice...although it's gotta real nice with just an exhuast

Damoh.. I think you've started something with this one... I dropped my Furby off at the Ford dealers and came home with this on Friday...

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

TimoB · 21 hours ago21 hr

Hi Everyone, I have been investigating how I can replace the decorative trim pieces on the console of the O4 (see attached picture (version I would like). The easy part has been figuring out the general part numbers, however I get stuck on the specifics. I know the O4 has two technical variants; one with stock leds and one with RGB leds, and that there is a multitude of different codes for all the different colours/textures. I would like to either find the haptic (square) silver ones or the pla

2.0l TSI engines: what should I be looking out for AWD vehicles approaching 100k?

Sinbad1900 · 31 May31 May

Hoping to purchase a 2.0l TSi Sportline/Laurin & Klement variant at some point soon. My budget may result in me seeking out a vehicle with 95K onwards on the clock. I’ll be only considering something with a full comprehensive service history. My understanding is that I shouldn’t worry about cam chain tensioners as they go on and on. But do they? So is there anything I should really looking out for? Thanks

Gearbox Emergency Mode

DRW · Thursday at 19:332 days

Last September my Kamiq 1.5 DSG 2020reg (regularly serviced) displayed 'Gearbox in Emergency Mode'. Very near home so able to limp home. Dealer took it in and fixed it under extended warranty. All okay until a month ago when it happened again, this time far from home. Switched off the car, restarted and all back to normal and drove perfectly. Yesterday it happened again and only D2 available. Started car today, no problem, all working, no warning sign. I'll be contacting the dealer again

Looking to remove the spare wheel + raised boot floor, and lower the boot floor - can I do this?

OwenR · 31 minutes ago31 min

Hi folks, I am looking at buying a Yeti which currently has a spare wheel fitted and therefore a raised boot floor - if I wanted the option of the lowering boot floor and taking out the spare wheel, for car camping, I understand that I need to buy a puncture repair kit and the polystyrene tray that it's housed in, plus I'd also need to source the boot floor that would sit on top of the (now empty) wheel well. The existing boot floor that sits on top of the spare wheel is not one of the variable

Fabia Mk2 Vcds Abs

StephFR · 14 April14 Apr

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my brake pedal (basically going to the floor), and I suspect it might be related to the ABS module. I tried to scan the ABS unit for fault codes using VCDS, but I’m unable to communicate with it: it seems like CAN communication is not available. Is this normal on a Fabia Mk2 (5J), or should I definitely be able to access the ABS module via CAN? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
