Buying a Skoda Fabia with some mileage is a great option for those connoisseurs of quality who cannot afford to buy a new car but want to drive in comfort. In this article, you will find out which Skoda Fabia is better to buy and what you should pay attention to when choosing a used car.
Body
There are three variants of the Skoda body: hatchback, sedan and station wagon. The most interesting performance is the station wagon. It has a very roomy trunk, for a car of this class. Since the Skoda Fabia is a budget car, and not a fashion car, performance indicators are in the foreground. Station wagon - a practical and inexpensive version of the car for all occasions.
The body of all Skoda is galvanized and perfectly resists corrosion. But there are also weak points, such as the trunk lid.
Over time, under the influence of salt and dirt, the paint on the fifth door begins to peel off. The wheel arches are also vulnerable to corrosion - regular wheel arch liners do not completely cover them. It will be very good if the previous owner treated the surface with anti-gravel in a timely manner.
Another weak point is the door ends. But this breakdown is typical not only for the station wagon, but also for most budget-class Skoda cars. In the cold, the limit switches often freeze slightly, so don't be surprised if the on-board computer tells you that the door is open.
The factory paint on the car is an indicator that the vehicle has not been in an accident. The vast majority of people who sell used cars claim that their car has a factory paint job. But not all sellers are telling the truth. There are many ways to check their honesty. If, when viewing the surface of the body at an angle, the color of individual elements of the body is different, it means that these elements were under repair.
Irregularities on the surface indicate poor quality primer when repainted. Over time, chips and small scratches appear on the paint. If they are absent on individual elements of the body of a used car, it means that these elements have been replaced or repaired and repainted. Damaged and then repaired body parts indicate that the car has been in an accident.
Strong impacts can cause deformation of the body. This is especially true for the station wagon, which has an increased length. Cars restored after accidents have reduced passive safety.
A separate category is cars that turned over during an accident, they are also called “changelings”. The body of such vehicles has a broken geometry. In addition to external signs, such machines can be distinguished by glasses that have different dates of manufacture. When overturned, the frame is deformed, and the glass cracks. Even the highest quality repair is not able to restore the factory geometry of the frame. New glasses will be in constant tension. They can crack even when hitting a bump. If this situation happened to you, then know that you have been sold a "shifter".
Another category - drowned cars. These vehicles have already managed to swim in the reservoirs. Their main disease is problems with electronics. Such cars can be distinguished by rusty bolts, foggy headlights from the inside and the characteristic smell of dampness in the cabin.
Engine
Skoda Fabia can be equipped with 8 petrol and 4 diesel engines. The most common are gasoline engines with a volume of 1.2 or 1.4 liters. Skoda Fabia cars equipped with diesel engines are almost never found in our country. The very low quality of the fuel is the main reason for this.
The weak point of the Skoda Fabia gasoline engine is the throttle assembly. During operation of the throttle position sensor, the tracks of the potentiometer wear out, which leads to a change in its output voltage. Thus, the system cannot accurately track the position at which the damper is fully closed. At the same time, the axis of the throttle itself wears out. This will disrupt the air dosage, which will lead to unstable motor operation.
Throttle wear signs:
- unstable idling;
- twitching when pressing the gas pedal;
- stalls when you let off the gas.
The second weak point is the timing chain. You can find out about its wear by the characteristic noise during the operation of the motor. With the replacement of the chain, it is better not to tighten it, since its failure can lead to very disastrous consequences - the valves may bend or the pistons may collapse, which will lead to a very expensive repair.
Transmission
Clutch
This mechanism is not very durable and reliable. A used station wagon almost always needs a clutch replacement. Another weak element is the clutch cylinders. They start leaking in the cold. This defect is easy to detect by failing the clutch pedal.
Transmission
Skoda Fabia cars can be equipped with both a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic. It is better to take the mechanics - it is simpler, and, therefore, more reliable. It is very difficult to find a used Skoda Fabia with an automatic transmission. In our country, budget foreign cars with a gun are not very popular.
In addition to greater cost and less reliability, the automatic machine installed on the Skoda Fabia has another drawback - the lack of an oil dipstick. The design is designed to check the oil level during maintenance with a special technological dipstick. This is not the best option for our country, given the very low level of service. This problem can be easily solved by making your own probe from a piece of cable.
Chassis
Suspension Skoda Fabia is simple and reliable - ideal for our roads. The suspension of this station wagon, although a bit harsh, is typical for all budget class cars.
Salon
The station wagon salon, although not luxurious, is made very high quality. By the state of the steering wheel, you can indirectly determine the mileage. The steering wheel starts to overwrite after a hundred thousand mileage. If you are offered a car with low mileage, but a very worn steering wheel, then most likely the mileage was twisted and they are trying to deceive you.
If the air conditioner does not work correctly, then most likely the problem is with the evaporator sensor. Refrigerant leakage is a rare occurrence for Skoda air conditioners.
When choosing a used car, you need not only to visually inspect all its elements, but you should also test it in practice. On the train, do not agree to ride in the passenger seat - you yourself need to test how easily the car responds to all your actions. In motion, all the shortcomings that the owner tried to hide from you will be revealed. On the road, ignore all the conversations that are not relevant - most sellers try to distract the buyer with conversations so that he does not notice any defects.
The 2012 Skoda Fabia is a more dynamic design, interior innovations and the new Skoda Fabia, thanks to which this small but strong enough car shows an excellent ride and performance.
The Skoda Fabia engine range includes several modifications:
- for Skoda Fabia Classic - 1.2 liter engines. at 70 hp and 1.4 l. 86 hp Both engines are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission
- for Skoda Fabia Ambient - engines 1.2 l / 70 hp, 1.4 l / 86 hp, 1.6 l. / 105 hp, 1.6 l/105 hp engines 1.2 and 1.4 are equipped with manual transmission, but Skoda Fabia 1.6 engine- both mechanical and automatic
- Skoda Fabia Sport will only be equipped with Skoda Fabia 1.4 engine l power. 86 and 5-speed manual transmission
- Skoda Fabia Elegance is equipped with two engines - both with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 105 hp, only one of them is equipped with a five-speed and the second with a six-speed automatic
Skoda Fabia petrol engines have been tested by time, and are now even more modernized thanks to the engine being equipped with a system. All Skoda Fabia petrol engines, including Skoda Fabia 1.4 engine comply with Euro-5 emission toxicity standards, save fuel and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide vapor emitted into the air. All engines - both diesel and gasoline - are additionally equipped with a system that allows you to capture fuel vapors, as well as catalytic converters, which are located in the exhaust system.
The Skoda Fabia of 2012 is an updated car that has undergone changes not only in external characteristics, but also in technical indicators. Both mechanical and automatic in Skoda Fabia are characterized by quick and easy gear changes, and inside the cabin there is practically no noise and vibration of a running engine . The updated Skoda Fabia 1.6 engine allows you to quickly accelerate, however, as the speed increases, the engine noise also increases.
The safety of the car is enhanced by the fact that the car has a dual-circuit service brake system with hydraulic drive and a vacuum booster. The front-wheel drive of the Skoda Fabia improves the car's handling characteristics, especially on difficult turns and inconvenient roads. By the way, the Skoda car is delivered to Russia only in modifications with a gasoline engine.
According to the prescription of the operating rules, a technical inspection of the Skoda Fabia should be carried out approximately every 13,000-15,000 km of run. These cars are distinguished by high build quality and overall reliability, and therefore, subject to careful operation Skoda Fabia engine repair- a fairly rare occurrence. The Skoda Fabia is a great car option for driving in the city due to its compactness and efficiency. However, the developers do not stop there and promise to release a new generation of Skoda Fabia with a more powerful gasoline or diesel engine or a hybrid power unit by the middle of next year. As regards filling lubricants and oils, Skoda Fabia engine oil you need to choose from all-season, which can be operated at any time of the year, and the oil must be of high quality.

- one of the most successful models of the Czech brand. This small, economical and comfortable car is recognized as one of the best options for everyday city driving. There is an opinion that a small car is only suitable for women, but in big cities, where there are more and more cars every year, compact and nimble cars are gaining more and more popularity among men, and the Skoda Fabia 2 is one of them. Therefore, today we decided to check how things are going with the reliability of this car, and what to pay special attention to when buying this car in a used condition.
A bit of history:
The debut of the Skoda Fabia took place at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in 1999. This model has replaced the previously produced model on the market. Skoda Felicia. The car was produced in three versions - hatchback, sedan and combi. The second-generation Skoda Fabia debuted at the Geneva auto show, and serial assembly began in the same year. They assembled the car at factories in the Czech Republic, India, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, as well as in Ukraine and Russia. The second generation Fabia was available in only two body styles - hatchback and combi. The design of the second generation Fabia is made in the same style as.
Compared to the previous generation, Fabia 2 has significantly increased in size, despite the fact that they are built on the same platform. In 2010, a restyled version of the car appeared on the market, the main differences of which, from the pre-styling version, were: a modified radiator grille, front bumper and front optics, and TSI family engines appeared in the line of power units. In the second generation of the Skoda Fabia, adaptive headlights are installed, and the internal reflective surface has been replaced with a diverging lens. At the end of 2014, the premiere of the third generation of the car took place at the Paris Motor Show.
Advantages and disadvantages of Skoda Fabia 2 with mileage
The body of the Skoda Fabia 2 resists the onslaught of the red disease well. But, there are complaints about the quality of the paintwork. So, for example, in places of chips ( especially on sills and front arches), over time, the paint swells and falls off in pieces. Also, there are claims to the reliability of external electrical equipment. Most often, the owners are troubled by the electric wiper drive, and if it fails, you will have to change the trapezoid. Often, the rear window washer malfunctions, often the owners solve this problem on their own - by adjusting the cranked nozzle or the shifted drive into place. If water has appeared in the trunk, sealing of all ventilation holes and holes for the lights is required.
Engines
Skoda Fabia 2 was equipped with the following power units: petrol 1.2 (60, 70 hp), 1.4 (86, 180 hp), 1.6 (105 hp); TSI 1.2 (88, 105 hp), 1.6 (90, 105 hp); diesel 1.2 (75 hp) 1.4 (69, 80 hp), 1.9 (105 hp). When choosing a car of this model, you need to know that the larger the engine size you choose, the less problems it will have in the future. The best option, in terms of dynamics and reliability, is a 1.6-liter power unit, but it also has minor drawbacks. One of the most common sores of this motor is the failure of the throttle position sensor. The pump is not famous for its large resource, so as not to be in an unpleasant situation, it should be changed simultaneously with the timing belt and rollers.
Motor 1.2 is equipped with a timing chain drive, the chain resource is quite small, about 100,000 km, and its replacement will result in a rather big penny. It should be noted that if the chain slips and bends the valves, then the engine will have to be changed, since it is not repairable. Also, the disadvantages of this engine include low power, leaking cylinder head gaskets and oil seals. For 1.2 and 1.6 TSI engines, oil consumption increases after 100,000 km.
Owners of cars with a 1.4 atmospheric engine note problems with cold start and prolonged warm-up of the power unit. Ignition coils are not famous for their reliability. It should be noted that all gasoline engines are demanding on fuel quality. Diesel engines are a rarity for our market, but, according to those specimens that are operated by us, we can say that they are reliable, but only on condition that the car is refueled with high-quality diesel fuel ( when using low-quality fuel, fuel injectors suffer first of all).
Transmission
It was equipped with: mechanical and automatic transmission, as well as a seven-speed DSG robot. The mechanics proved to be the most problem-free. But, it also has its drawback - a small resource of input shaft bearings (130-150 thousand km). A signal about the need for replacement will be a kind of rumble in the area of \u200b\u200bthe box. The clutch kit will last about the same. The automatic transmission has also proven itself quite well, with proper maintenance (oil change every 60,000 km) and careful operation, it will last 150-200 thousand km without repair (after the valve body needs to be replaced). Quite a lot has already been said about the reliability of the DSG robotic box, and, unfortunately, the reviews are only negative, therefore, it is better to refuse to buy a used car with such a transmission.
Features of the running Skoda Fabia 2 with mileage
Equipped with semi-independent suspension: front MacPherson strut, rear - semi-independent beam. Such an alliance does not provide enviable handling and comfort, at the same time, maintenance costs cannot but rejoice. If we talk about the resource of the suspension, then it is difficult to call it “not killed”. Stabilizer struts and bushings are considered consumables, their resource, with careful operation, does not exceed 30-40 thousand km. The service life of silent blocks, wheel bearings (change assembled with the hub), ball bearings and tie rod ends rarely exceeds 80 thousand km. About once every 100,000 km you will have to change shock absorbers, thrust bearings ( 40-70 thousand km go on pre-styling versions, but they can creak even after 10,000 km) and tie rods. Despite the low weight of the car, the brake pads run quite a bit - 30-40 thousand km, the discs - twice as long.
Salon
Despite the low cost of the car, it is worth noting the good quality of interior finishing materials and sound insulation. If we talk about the electrical equipment of the cabin, then, despite the fact that the car does not have a large amount of electronics, it presents surprises quite often. Most often, failures occur with the seat heating system, central locking ( stops responding to keychain), also, the hood and trunk limit switches, power windows and stove fan may fail ( after the ignition is turned off, the stove continues to work).
Outcome:
- a high-quality European car that captivates with its reputation as a reliable and inexpensive car to maintain. The Fabia of the second generation has many advantages, but it was not without significant drawbacks, despite this, we can confidently say that this model is one of the most successful in " B-class».
Advantages:
- Small fuel consumption.
- Quality interior trim materials.
- Low cost of spare parts and maintenance.
Flaws:
- Weak paint finish.
- Rigid suspension.
- The unreliability of the electrical equipment of the cabin.
It depends on the condition, from the photo you can say that it is good, but you need to do a complete diagnosis of the paintwork, internal combustion engine, chassis of the car and check for legal cleanliness.
I myself owned such a car, so I can say that the engine in it is BXW, CGGB with a volume of 1.4 liters and 86 hp. 132 Newton meters of torque at 3800 rpm. Timing drive - belt, changes at 90,000 km, in some cases even earlier, depending on how you drive. The internal combustion engine is quite high-torque for such a light car. Fuel consumption in the city is 6.9 liters.
Candles are changed every 30,000 km. By the way, candles quickly fail if low-quality fuel is poured, so pour only 95th gasoline at proven gas stations. Fabia also rides on the 92nd, but on the 95th she is more economical and faster.
At first, if you turn on the air conditioner or climate control, the engine seems to vibrate, then it stops. This is due to the fact that the motor is simply hard, so there is nothing wrong with that.
Oil must be changed every 10-15 thousand kilometers or once a year, as it loses its properties and turns black. The original fluid is Castrol Edge Professional 5w-30, or Shell Helix Ultra 5W30.
Of the pluses, it can be noted that the car is very nimble, it is convenient to park, the engine is enough for overtaking on the highway and in the city. Low fuel consumption.
In terms of spare parts and consumables, if you buy from an authorized dealer, the prices will be sky-high. Fortunately, there are many consumables that you can buy, for example, on autodoc or exist - the prices there are very affordable, and you can change all this not from an official, but in a regular service or on your own. For 40,000 km, I didn’t break anything, I only changed oils, filters and candles.
Of the minuses, I’ll say that with a strong wind, if you drive along the highway, then it blows away, apparently due to the low weight. Also, the trunk is not that big, but the rear seats fold down, so you can fit a lot of things. There is enough space in the cabin for people of average build, if you put large obese people in front, then there will not be enough space for them. Still, B-class cars, even a little less than Solaris, Kia Rio.
The Kaluga assembly does not have jambs, at least I did not notice. But I think Czech is even better.
The car is ideal for girls, but for guys who are not shy about small cars, it will do.
By the way, the Fabia on R15 wheels looks just cool and more representative than on 14-inch ones.
Worth it or not, it's up to you to decide. And here is my review of it
There are a lot of pluses - inexpensive maintenance, a lot of parts, parts are suitable from other VAG brands.
Of the minuses, specifically for 1.4, I would note a relatively high fuel consumption (in the city, traffic jams are about 8 liters, sometimes it reaches 10) and this engine is a bit "blunt" at the bottom, when compared with 1.2
If the car is for the city, I would advise you to ride a Fabia with 1.2 69ls for comparison, for me, it’s even a little faster, it is inferior only on the highway at a speed of more than 120 km / h. And he has a little more pluses 1) less tax; 2) cheaper than OSAGO (power less than 70hp); 3) less consumption. The only thing is 1.2 chain and the chain lasts about 100t.km, replacement is about 15-25t.rub with spare parts. At 1.4, the belt, on the drive for some it broke off at 80t.km, some drove more than 100t.km on their own belt.I had both fabias, on the one that in 2009 had only 1 serious jamb - the coil broke on the run of 90t.km, the rest was trifles.
What to look for:
1) wiper trapezoid - serves 50-60t.km, then the driver's wiper rod falls off. Repairing without replacing the trapezoid is almost free, there is a lot of information on the forums2) Wiring in the driver's door - almost everyone. Symptoms - one of the windows does not work, the speaker, sometimes the door lock. You can also fix it yourself. On my Fabia 2009 everything was fine, on Fabia 2010 this problem was.
3) Rear Drums - Rear cylinders often leak. It needs to be cleaned every year, I usually do this with the replacement of rubber. If you do not follow, popados on pads, cylinders and springs. I did all this on both of my fabias, spare parts 2000-3000 rubles.
4) Stove motor - until 2010 this was a common problem, then the manufacturer changed, it seems like this problem occurs, but after 2010 it is very rare
5) Timing, if for engine 1.2 - a chain of 100t.km, then a replacement, when a cold engine starts and if the chain is already stretched, there will be characteristic sounds of the chain beating, they cannot be confused with anything. Sometimes there were cases of overshoot, but very rarely. For a 1.4 belt, it’s better not to pull, up to a maximum of 80t.km, I think
6) Front suspension - bushings and stabilizer struts, penny parts (bushings for 100-150 rubles * 2 pcs, racks 400-900 rubles * 2 pcs), but many live differently, on my fabia since 2009 I have nothing at all did not change in the suspension, only waved the bushings for one thing when I changed them on the second Fabia, but they did not require this. Someone changes every 30,000 km. For someone, even 10,000 km are not rolled back. Symptoms - rattling, creaking (especially in autumn and winter) on speed bumps. Replacing elementary, you can do it yourself.
Well, something like that, like everything. If the car was followed and not delayed with maintenance, then a very good car.
There are certainly many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Motor is good and hassle free. There are problems with lambda probes, they constantly break down and the car starts building and eating fuel. But it is treated by cutting out catalysts and firmware for euro 2. The machine is nimble, I have an average consumption of 9-10, but I fly. The suspension is soft. Lots of space in the cabin. No electrical problems at all. The engine and gearbox mounts are a weak point, because of them the engine starts to shake. The body is galvanized, the paint is strong, I have a 7-year-old car and there are almost no chips, and the arches are generally ideal. Shumka I did, Shumka weak, good ground clearance. The stove motor is a problem, it always howls and whistles, it is treated with a current replacement. The suspension is tenacious, I have a run of a hundred, but I changed the current front hub, everything else is original. Something like that.
Machine SUPER! Didn't even expect it. When I bought it from the hands of the first owner and drove it from Kyiv, I thought Czech Tavria - but no! Auto sooo comfortable and moderately soft. When they lifted it to the service station on a lift and POLO hatch hung nearby - EPTA, it's the same carriage, only with a different body and for less money! And I personally respect Foltz!
After the Outlander XL, the Maybach is generally silent in the cabin.1.2 is not worth taking - it is weak, you constantly need to unwind it, and it is a "disposable motor"
1.4 just right! And due to the fact that the usual MPI and not TSI - i.e. the usual "aspirated" with injectors on the rail and not directly in the cylinders, HBO is molded with a bang! Consumption 5.8-7.0 Benz, 7.5-9.0 Gas.
1.6 "behind the eyes" for this baby! The motor is old, reliable, time-tested, they are usually found on the machine, the consumption is correspondingly higher, the increase in dynamics is not significant. it's not TSI though...From "+":
- consumption
- comfort
- chic rulizzo
- unpretentiousness of servants
- German quality and thoughtfulness in everythingFrom "-":
- appearance - the car is still "babskoe" a priori
- they do not respect you "a little" on the road, either driving you from the left lane, or educating you
- the Kents also "spur" Romchik, how long can you ride on Fabos?
- I practically didn’t find any minuses except for one - a “rumbler” in the stove body! I can't figure out what else is going on in there!Hello. The car is great. Of the benefits: excellent handling, landing, good dynamics (1.4L engine), low tax, high-quality assembly, compact, normal comfortable trunk, everything adds up.
Of the minuses: expensive s / h (relative to the VAZ), weak Shumka but much better than the VAZ of course).
In general, I am very satisfied.
If you buy then choose the engine 1.4.
1.2 is also not bad, but it seems to me rather weak for the track.I bought because of the bargain price. In fact, the cost of a used one is quite expensive. If you can find a chorus. take the price do not think. Well, it is desirable to run up to 100 thousand km.
And preferably a mechanic, there are problems with DSG.
Reliability is high. The engine runs 500 t.km. without repair.
Suspension in our region 60-70 thousand km.
You change the belt at 80 thousand km.
As well as oil and filters.Hello. Factory 2010, mileage 90,000 km.
Problems:
1. 40,000 The control unit for the interior stove burned out, the cost of 5.5 thousand native + 5 thousand repairs, the panel and steering wheel were removed
2. 55,000 Burnout of the exhaust valve of 3 cylinders drove on 95 gasoline at a proven Rostneft gas station. The master repaired said because of gasoline, the hydraulic lifters are in order, the clearance is normal, in appearance, the factory marriage is generally one of 8, the rest are normal. The valve cracked in three places. Switched to Lukoil 92 gasoline. The cost of 3 thousand parts is not native urgently the car was needed relatives expensive only to order + 8 thousand repairs are not from the officials.
3. 60,000 Water in the luggage compartment as much as the rear seats are all wet. If it wasn't for the spare wheel it would float. The disease of all Fabii is from someone as in time. It is easy to treat, why until now such a problem existed is not clear, a big minus for Skoda. It is treated independently, but you will have to remove the rear bumper pad, rear wheels, and rear fender liner, put a plastic ventilation grill on the sealant, to be sure, between the rear lights and the car body, I glued it with window insulation so that when water drains, it does not fall on the ventilation grill. Repair independent half a day.
4. 70,000 replacement of timing belts, rollers, tensioners, pump, and alternator belt. Normal of all was the pump and belts, on the rollers backlash. The cost of 10 thousand spare parts are not native + 4 thousand repairs are not from the official.
5. 77,000 freon leak from the air conditioning system. Officials refilled the freon, there are no leaks in 5 years, it's normal for Fabia. Cost 2k and 2 hours in the office checking for more than an hour for leaks.
6. 80,000 Replacing the front pads and brake discs. They could finish up to 100 thousand, the wife goes mostly, I don’t wait until the wear limit. Price 6.8 thousand discs native pads no. Self replacement.
7. 90,000 Replacing the rear pads and drums. Price in the region of 4.5 thousand spare parts are not native. Self replacement.
8. 90,000 There was a knock in the suspension when hitting speed bumps. Summer inspection.
9. Eternal jambs with wiring. Moreover, a friend brought a Volkswagen from Germany, the same thing. One kasyak at the concern.
10. The battery does not last more than 3-4 years. Moreover, the native Bosch from Germany 45 A, Russian 60 A makes no difference. The car is crammed with electronics, the onboard voltage is not enough to charge the battery for trips less than 15 km. When traveling to school, kindergarten, store 5 km, the battery is discharged when the engine is started. Even autumn and spring recharge of the battery after 3 years does not save the situation. You risk not starting at -25 degrees in winter. Replacing the battery will help.
Pros:
Any machine has disadvantages, there is no perfection, so that having reached one, a person wants more.
There are pluses, of course, the price is a little expensive for such a baby, but after the Lada, the wife on whom she didn’t want to ride with Fabia, she even refuses to part ways. Components sports, sports + to completed. Three-spoke leather steering wheel, lateral support for the front seats, short gears for 5 from 47 km and beyond on highways as if on a machine (- in the city you will have to switch more often), hard suspension, as I like to drive. You can list for a long time one speaks for itself riding 970 km drove a convoy of several cars 16 hours driving stops to the toilet and have a bite, no more than 20 minutes, not frequent. We drove at night + light, headlights with a lens with adjustment are good and fog lights, a small gas mileage achieved 5.2 liters per 100 km. comfortable ride even 6 hours without a smoke break. The ability to install a two-line radio with video function is a good distraction for children. Upon arrival after 16 hours of travel for the first time I did not want to get out of the car.1. Anti-corrosion treatment (plastic protection of the bottom) 7 years on the street there are no signs even of bugs. Himself to the car did not touch Movil and other garbage to do no hell there.
2. Glushaki stainless steel after Zhiguli understand.
3. 1.4 good nimble engine up to 140 km on the highway is enough. And most importantly, maintainable.
4. Not bad insulation. The engine is not audible, the summer wheels depend on the rubber, my summer bridgestone is not audible, but the winter studding is audible but not good in winter.
5. Not a bad build, although the Kaluga bugs squeaks in the cabin were not found if something is not hanging in the trunk.
6. A fairly reliable car for all the time let down once we drive almost every day. - 28 degrees on the street AKB failed. Even with a burnt valve, it started and drove.
In general, you can list for a long time about the clearance and other design advantages, I'm tired of it, I do not regret that I bought this car. After the VAZ cars, the valve summed up the current. Friend Kalina is much worse.
Good afternoon. and I decided to write about my Skoda Fabia. I own this car 1.4 16kl, equipment sport comfort, 2011, manual transmission, at the moment mileage is 64000 km. and so about the pros - the driver's seat and the front seats are a good plus, the fit is excellent, comfortable, every year we drive south with my wife, 1500 km one way with normal, the back does not die. rulitsya with a bang, good head light optics, lenses. even surprisingly nimble, overtaking on the track, quite. as it once clocked up to 190 km for paid, followed by a friend driving a Volvo, the speedometer readings are the same. the air conditioner copes with the heat, it saved a lot in the Crimea, it does not rust at all. park well. no problems with suspension. Acceptable cost. these are all pluses. there are enough cons. and so let's start, the DRL bulbs are a very regular replacement, enough for a month and a half, of course, the bulbs can be bullshit. ABS in winter is something, it does not slow down with it at all, although it is good in summer. glitch of the driver's window lifter intermittently, water in the spare wheel in the trunk at times, low overhang of the front bumper, when replacing the factory engine protection with a normal metal one, a rumble from EGUR appeared in the cabin, but the Skoda has an electro-hydraulic power steering, the ABS icon lights up on the panel periodically in winter, then it's true disappears, once at minus 30 the steering wheel icon on the panel caught fire, the amplifier turned off, although after 20 minutes of warming up everything worked again. the other day there was a disaster, when starting off at a traffic light, 1st gear disappeared, now it’s not there and that’s it, everyone else turns on, it started off from the second one, went to the service, they stupidly pulled the cables and sprayed with water, magic and that’s it, everything works again . now about breakdowns and replacements - approximately 45,000 km, replacing the air conditioner radiator, it was stupidly eaten by reagents from our roads, who are even interested in having a photo, before that, a refrigerant pressure sensor was replaced at 30,000 km, it started to skip. 60000km replacement of the timing along with the pump, a whistle appeared, so I decided not to risk it, by the way the pump was like new when I replaced it, I even regret that I changed it. the hum of the stove motor, slightly. now again there are problems with the air conditioner, it gives an error - an increased signal level of the refrigerant pressure sensor, this sensor has been replaced again, the air conditioner temperature sensor has also been replaced, the same one in the panel in the cabin. zero effect, the air conditioner lives its own life. I'll try to take the pressure off a bit. Spare parts if the original is very expensive, but full of analogues, in particular, much fits from the Seat Ibiza. another year ride and the car for a replacement. for the very smart, the car is not the first, almost 10 years of experience. I'm bad at literacy, I'm sorry. By the way, it feels like a quick replacement of the trapezoid … the wiper blade is hanging, I looked at the forums, I'm not the only one. buy a second time? NO. and yet, gasoline 95, 92 stupid. according to oil Pots 0v30 or 0v40, do not eat, from replacement to replacement about 150g for topping up, I change every 8-10k. good luck to all.

Skoda Fabia, is a typical representative of the B-class small car family, an automaker from the Czech Republic. Among Skoda models, Fabia is positioned as a transitional model between the very small Citigo and the larger Rapid/Octavia. Fabia was created to compete with such cars as Fiat Albea, Renault Logan, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent/Solaris/Getz, Seat Ibiza, Opel Corsa, Chevrolet Aveo, Mitsubishi Colt, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Mazda 2, KIA Picanto/ Rio, advanced equipment Lada Granta/Kalina/Vesta. Skoda Fabia was created on the basis of the Volkswagen Polo, but was significantly improved, this also affected the engine, here it is similar, Polo: petrol 1.2 l., 1.4 l. and 1.6 liters., the advanced modification of the RS is equipped with 1.4 liters. turbocharged engine developing power up to 180. Diesel options from 1.2 liters. up to 1.9 l. Let's take a look at some of these engines, their specifications, engine oil usage, faults and troubleshooting, and more.
ENGINE VOLKSWAGEN-AUDI EA111 1.2 TSI / TFSI (2014 - N.V.)
The junior representative of the EA111 series is a modified 1.4 TSI, in which the cast iron cylinder block was replaced with an aluminum assembly with wet cast iron liners, the piston diameter was reduced from 76.5 mm to 71 mm, and the piston was lightened. To emphasize the bottoms, the block was covered with a single-shaft head with eight valves, the diameter of the intake / exhaust valves is 35.5 / 30 mm, there are hydraulic lifters, and direct fuel injection, there is no variable valve timing system. The timing drive uses a chain similar to the 1.4 TSI, in this case the chain often stretches and jumps. 1.2 TSI variants are equipped with IHI 1634 turbochargers with a maximum pressure of 0.6 bar. Such an engine is essentially a simplified version of the 1.4 TSI, which has a reduced liter power. The main purpose of creating this engine is an attempt to replace running engines with a volume of 1.6. l with eight valves. Over time, such an engine was gradually replaced by a modified 1.2 TSI EA211 series. The VW 1.2 TSI / TFSI engine has several modifications.
- CBZA, is a weak modification, whose power reaches 86 hp, was installed on the Audi A1, Volkswagen Golf 6.
- CBZB, 90 power variation for Volkswagen Polo.
- CBZC transmitting a variation with a power of 105 hp for the Audi A3, VW Golf 6 and some other cars.
Weaknesses of the engine, identical to those characteristic of the older variation of 1.4 TSI, possible jumping of the timing chain (later corrected), vibration at idle, demanding oil and fuel. The engine also requires a long warm-up at low temperatures. The engine has an average level of reliability, with standard operation and timely maintenance, the 1.2 TSI engine has a resource of about 250,000 km. The resource will be lower if the operating conditions become tougher.
POSSIBILITIES FOR TUNING
The engine is tuned using the conventional chip tuning method. Specialists offer their Stage 1 firmware for 86 hp engines. and 105 hp Having spent insignificant funds, you can reflash the engine to 130-145 hp. and improve vehicle dynamics. The option is good for such a working volume. In addition, it is possible to replace catalysts with sports options, install a cold intake. This is especially good for the city.
ENGINE VOLKSWAGEN-AUDI EA211 1.2 TSI / TFSI (2014 - N.V.)
Changes in the TSI series of engines also affected a small, 1.2 liter. representative of the EA111 series, the fresh 1.2 TSI EA211 engine has a different cylinder head, with 16 valves, rotated 180 degrees, an exhaust manifold made together with a cylinder head located at the rear. The engine is installed at a reverse angle of 12 degrees. The model also has hydraulic lifters, a system responsible for direct fuel injection, added a phase shifter on the intake camshaft. The timing chain was removed and a belt was installed, whose service life is about 60-90 thousand km. Variations with a power of 86 and 105 hp. equipped with similar turbochargers (smaller than 1.4 TSI EA211) with an intercooler integrated into the intake manifold. Different firmware determined the different power of the models. In addition, the EA211 series engines have a new dual-circuit cooling system. That allows you to deal with the problem of prolonged warm-up of the motor. The VW 1.2 TSI / TFSI engine has various modifications.
- CJZA, a modification with a power of 105 hp and a boost pressure of 0.9 bar.
- CJZB, a modification with a power of 86 hp and a boost pressure of 0.7 bar.
- CJZC, a modification with a power of 90 hp, for Fabia 3 and Rapid.
- CJZD, modification with 110 hp, for Fabia 3 and Rapid.
Similar to the older 1.4-liter representative, the 1.2 TSI engine is brand new and has not yet undergone significant break-in. However, the problem of prolonged warm-up has already been eliminated, the circuit is missing, and therefore there are no problems with it.
ENGINE TUNING POSSIBILITIES VOLKSWAGEN-AUDI 1.2 TSI / TFSI
Initially, the presence of sports firmware for 1.2 TSI EA211 left much to be desired, it remained to wait for the situation to change. Initial Stage 1 variants under 1.2 TSI increase power to 120 hp. Over time, options have appeared that allow chip tuning up to 130-135 and even 140 hp. Installing a turbine for this engine will not work. When combined with Stage 1 and DSG, the 1.2 TSI will get plenty of power.
