If you own or are looking to buy a Fabia, this is your source of information on the Skoda Fabia. http://briskoda.net/forums/index.php Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:20:27 +0000 60 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227645-what-a-weird-day/ [IMG]http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/michaeloverton/My%20Car/readout.png[/IMG]

so after my little shock i had the garage to do a little digging for me and I found that not only had my car gained 40 BHP it is also been tuned by ABT. so got the blower to ABT to confirm it and gave them my VIN and other info and hey presto my car is on their database. and was tuned on july 12th 2005.

so went digging some more though the service history and found the details of 1st owner and contacted him and he told me that he took all the ABT badges off because he didn't like them. WTF so brought new badges from ABT and they should be here with in 2 weeks hopefully :-)

i though my car was a little fast. so I'm now only 40 BHP off my 180 BHP target. so now my VRS badges can come off.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:20:27 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227645-what-a-weird-day/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227637-pics-wanted-6040mm-lowering-on-16s/
Got some BBS 16" off a golf v5 fitting correct tyres next week.

Needs lowering for definate but wasnt sure how much. fabias are 4x4s anyway but wanted to see what 60/40mm lowering looks like.

Also any 35mm lowering if you have any so i can compare.

Thanks

For looks obviously or is it essential for the indicator flashes?

Troubles with the wife's Fabia, 2004 1.4 16v 100bhp, BBZ engine 90k miles.

Oil consumption has been reasonably high for a while - about 1 litre per 3000 miles (ok, not as high as some others here). Checked the oil on Saturday and it was a few cm's below the min on the stick. Topped it back up.

Today, got a call from the wife to say that the Engine Management light was flashing, that there was no power and that it was juddering a lot below 2000rpm. Got home and checked it with a fault code reader - showed 16685 - Misfire on Cylinder 1. So that explains the juddering, and the lack of power is that + limp mode on the ECU.

So, what's it likely to be. From the research I've just done it sounds like it could be anything from a valve head, to a spark plug. Anyone had the same thing? Also sounds like the BBZ doesn't get to play the piston rings game, so the oil consumption could be a red herring.

The creaking noise only occurs below 30mph roughly, mainly noticeable when manouvering/cornering however it is also happening when I move off from both a standstill and a rolling start. It is not the drivers seat as I've thoroughly checked it and lubricated the springs underneath. It honestly sounds as if something is under strain. Short of stripping it all down and regreasing all the bushes etc I can't think of anything else to do.

Honestly any suggestions/ideas etc please put them forward.

Cheers,

Anyone managed to reduce oil consumption without a stripdown? Is it gummed up rings due to the previous owner driving too gently? Would a old fashioned additive like STP give it the clean up it needs? Someone suggested regular thrashings could be the answer which does not sound a silly as it seems....
Using 10w-40 oil at present- would a different grade help?

I managed to lock out my self. I made antirost treatment for my fabia on week end and I had to remove front door during this job. I have assembled remote central locking system by my self, and when I had to remove the door, I had to also snap the wire from my remote control unit. When I was ready (I mean antirost job done) my central locking device did not work yet... So I locked 3 of 4 doors by my self by pressing the lock button and leaving one door open when I was in work place. When I came back to my car, I tried to press open lock button from the cars back seat, but I pressed accidentally lock button again and I stepped out of my car, and slammed cars rear door close. Then I tried to open drivers door... For my surprise it was locked and of course every door was locked. Because I have not used my mechanical locks for many years, they have been jammed totally. I mean totally, I tried to use oil, heat and pliers to get more force to key action, but no way. Now I am out side of my car and I am wondering how to get inside without stone or brick?

Does anybody have good advise? I have also nice pics from my antirost operation, and I´ll put some pics later when I get back to home later tonight. My wife is now coming to get me home =) she had also very bad day today, she crashed her Seat Ibiza on parking zone on airport... =( now left side front wing and door are smashed. Weather is been awful here in Finland.



Here is one idea, but I am not sure is that real / fake and even that could be possible, I don't have so kind of pump tool. I have tried to press that "open lock" button with plastic rod, but not managed yet. Is it possible release boot mechanic by rod or something? After couple of hours I had to give up, cause it´s quite freezing up here in Finland =)

All lights diplayed etc. A clicking noise could be heard from under the bonnet, which I persume is a relay? When my foot is taken of the brake pedal the ignition turns off agian.
A few days ago I had the ECP light on display, not all the time though. A brake light was out, which has now been replaced, and no ECP light anymore.

My partner has a 2005 Fabia VRS, all standard other than ECU remap.

I was driving through central london in the small hours last night - in the horrendous snow conditions - and as such was taking it very steady. Almost using no throttle and just controlling the car on the clutch.

After 40mins or so i started noticing a rattling sound and slight knocking on the clutch pedal when it was depressed. Clutch operation was still 100% fine - no slipping and still engaging and disengaging without issue.

Ten or so minutes later I began to notice (in addition to this rattle when depressed) that the clutch pedal was 'knocking' quite harshly when easing off the throttle and beginning to engine brake. Only noticeable with my foot resting slightly on the clutch pedal. Felt like the same vibrations as you experience with ABS on the brake pedal.

At first i thought it might be my imagination - what with all the locking up, sliding, wheel spinning, ABS and traction control mayhem. But i've just been out and confirmed that the issue is still there and is very much real.

The car still drives fine, stops and starts without issue. Clutch still operates with no fault other than this vibration.

I fancy that perhaps the engine is slightly rougher/noisier on idle maybe?

I'm replacing a front wheel bearing next week so would be a good time to pull the gearbox off if i can determine what the fault is and replacement parts ready to fit.

Hopefully there maybe someone on here who can help out?

Thanks

The strap should also have an "adapter" consisting of a chopped towing eye with a bolt through it, but I'm not sure that there's even enough clearance for this plus if it's been sawn off it might have rough edges and I don't want any vibrations to wear holes in the pipework. Not sure what the problem is, it's a Forge intercooler which was made after the so-called "revised" Fabia vRS version which claimed to not affect the towing eye...

I'm now wondering whether I can just bolt the metal bracket of the tow strap straight into the threaded hole and have it sort of flat up against the bodywork? What type of bolt would be suitable for that?]]> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:27:03 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227432-tow-straps/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227429-remap-convince-me/
The map il be getting would be a seddox stage 1 map but there quoting 215 from stage one alone plus id probably get a decat and downpipe at the same time if the map prevents the emissions light comeing on.

So come on lads just need that extra little bit convincing to get it : )]]> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:03:11 +0000 http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227429-remap-convince-me/ http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/227420-quick-mdi-cable-question/
If I have no luck, will this ebay cable be the correct one? It's just that it says it's for RCD310 RCD510 RNS510.

P0672 Cylinder 2 glow plug circuit open.

I've looked through its service history and discovered that at every service its had in the past, the glow plugs have been replaced, and in one instance, so was the glow plug relay. So obviously this was an issue for the previous owner as well.
If changing the glow plugs and the relay aren't enough to cure it, then what could it be?

Anybody had a similar experience?
