Evening everyone, thought I would say hello

Hi and welcome :wave:

Yes it has been pretty miserable in Hull today :thumbdwn:

I can't believe how wet it is, feels like winter is just around the corner

lol...

Yeah the outlook for the week is pretty dull as well :( and no snow yet either :thumbdwn::(

So have you had your Fabia long?

Have had it 3 weeks. Have a couple of minor problems with it but generally really pleased with it.

Hi there,

Welcome aboard!

Keep your eyes peeled for events organised by Skoda Klub Of Doncaster And Scunthorpe (S.K.O.D.A.S.) we always welcome new faces along.

cheers .. Darren

Cool... it's not an 06 plate car with xenon's and cruise is it?

Nope, wish it was. Its an 05 and appears to be completely standard and now has 17k on the clock.

aahh.. just checking... I recently traded mine in that was all

Fairly low milage for it's age then

Well after reading a few posts on here I'm sure it wont stay standard for long

Oh and nice to see another member in Hull as well

There's not many of us around and we should stick together. Safety in numbers and all that Have to admit the local skoda dealer was excellent and would recommend them to anyone

Yeah.. I'm not all that impressed with them second time around, got better service at the Ford dealers... so guess where my money went. :eek:

I can recommend a good local independent for servicing etc tho...

I am thinking about upgrading the ECU and it has been suggested that I fit an ECU from an Audi TT 2.2, which will increase the bhp to 220. Not sure what affect that would have on mpg but it would make a quick car :smrbow:

I would be interested in a independant for servicing. I noticed that local skoda garage was a tad on the expensive side especially when I'm gonna need 2 services a year.

hhmm... I think you'd be safer with a remap or a digital tuning box.

As for fitting the ECU from a petrol car onto a diesel lump, I'm the first to admit I don't know a great deal about cars but I wouldn't of that possible or at best even a good idea.

A remap should see you up to around 170-180 (I believe).

Yeah, the dealers quoted me £198 for my first 10k/12month service... :eek:

A and A motors quoted me £135

Hello and welcome.

Blade, thanks for the info on A and A Motors. Will look them up when its due its next service.
