Hi all. Need help please. have askoda fabia vrs 2004.

I need to buy the special torq security spline tools to remove the gearbox oil filler and drain plugs on the above car. have been told that the snap on one is to big and can not use on the vrs model as not enough space to get in and use it.

Any where else that members have bought the tool/ tools from they can recommend...

thanks and await your replies:P

If you do a search on here, I asked the same question and got a several helpful answers.

In the end I ground down the end of an M16 splined bit which fit in just enough to open up the plugs, then put the plugs in the lathe and removed the central security part. Could have used a drill press tbh...

Another option would be to (very!) carefully dremel down the central security protrusion while the plugs are still on the car and use any old M16 splined bit....

HTH

Bas

it's a T70 torx security bit isn't it??...

i think this is the link from that thread which i used to get one , spot on tool and delivery

Sealey SX107 - Security XZN-Spline Key M16 1/2”Sq Drive --- Sealey & Draper Tools - Classic-Car-World Tool Shop

ah... yeah, i think i've got one of those too!

on the 2.0 model it's a T70

Thanks guys. Is this the same as the draper version part number HDPK1 (63476)

Or is the draper version to big to use on the vrs for access??

can this sealey one be used on the vrs model fabia

yes

just a message for lummox.

is it the same as the draper version ??

guess you have got a vrs and have had the same problem then??

I was a Skoda tech and I have to buy the tools to work on them )

Pretty sure mine is the draper version listed and it works.
