Hey folks, just had my 03 plate Fabia VRS serviced at my local garage. It's on 67,000 and only problem was a warped disk on the drivers front which was replaced under warranty.

However, after a receiving the car back it has developed a stutter when accelerating hard at 80 in 5th, 85 in 6th and 90-95 ish in 6th. It almost feels like it is miss-firing. An ECU problem with the fuel pump maybe?

Also, whilst you jolly useful bunch are looking why does my heater stay on full heat? What do I need to tell my garage so they can have a look at it properly? Is it sticking heater flaps or something like that? If so, where are they located and is it something that I can sort out?

Many thanks, T

The heater problem will be your flap motors sticking or stuck.

The full heat on the heater is a stuck flap motor. You can reset this with a VAG COM. If that fails then a new flap motor maybe required.

As for the Stutter im unsure, but i know the fabia suffers with one.

god your quick.

Take the car back to the dealer about the stutter. They can pull off the codes

it may even be down to a dodgy batch of diesel, especially if the car has been ok till now.

:iagree:
