Where is my intercooler?

Loach · 13-05-2007, 20:50

Hi all, I washed my new Fabia (Race Blue 539)for the first time today and generally had a good look around it. The vRS is supposed to have a side mounted intercooler isn't it? Could I find it? Could I ********. Also We have bought an Octavia, a mk1 1.8t 20v slxi. Does anyone out there in Fabia land have any knowlege of these? I know most of you guys own more than one Skoda. I'm going to ask on the Octavia forum as well. Its strange how once your bitten by the bug you end up with more than one.

If you want to see it easier, the plastic surrounding the drivers side fog lamp is removable, give it a gently tug and it'll pop off revealing the intercooler behind there.

if you pull out the fog light cover on drivers side you will see it also thats where you towing eye fixes
