Is same shape.

what age of skoda fabia ?

compared to my old 130 that's good mpg the best I ever had was mid 40's and that was the wife driving on the motorway cruising at 65

isint the Bora a Golf with a bit added on at the rear? :hyst I know the interior is different over the Golf ( the dash looks nicer ) but we had a mk4 golf estate for nearly 2 years and I couldn't say a bad word against it ( apart from there a pig to do a timing belt on compared to a passat ) but dri...

I normally mark them with tipex and count the turns to be on the safe side.

none of the fails are big jobs why pay the garage a weeks wages when its a few hours in the drive and change out of £100 for parts

gather its a bulb, code scan would be interesting, from what i remember it will pass the mot as it is Nope. If airbags are fitted the light must come on then go off after a successful self-test. Sounds like someone "might" have removed the bulb because it was on all the time. You'd have t...

hi there the passats rear door wont open from the outside it will open from inside fine has any one else had this problem?
is it like the front doors where you can adjust the cable on the handle?

mines is sitting in the drive and were running about in my uncles 320d

how much is a vacuum pump

Dont belive what it says on your mpg computer. I have managed max 63 mpg going to staffordshire and back (95%) motorway at a constant 70-80mph which is filling then refilling. I wasent tickling the pedal often as well as i often put my foot to the floor when accelorating to get to the speed quickly...

my old 1998 110 AFN used to get 55 mpg around the doors and 65 mpg on a run ( best I ever saw was 75 mpg but that was sitting on the motorway with average speed cameras :D ) My 2002 130 is a completely different story.. best ive saw is 40.1 mpg average and thats after a full service!! any one fancy...

I miss my old 110 sport

what mpg are you getting? It shouldn't be far off a good AFN engine if running properly Seems a shame to downgrade. (p.s. I love my AFN :) ) after a full service new thermostat and temp sender im getting 40.1 mpg on a run and around 35 mpg around the doors my old 110 used to get 55 mpg around the d...

You could technically do it but you will have all sorts of warning lights on the dash and you will need to re wire the front end of the car. You better off looking at a tidy b5 late model with the AVG engine (similar engine just some minor difference to AFN) and keep that for a while. I had a late ...

yea and before anyone asks ive not been on the funny stuff nor have i been drinking ( unless you include coffee ) would it be possible to take the AFN 110 engine out my b5 and fit it into my 2002 b5.5? has anyone ever done this? would it be possible? if so bar the immobiliser what problems would I h...

Today i took my AFN on a decent run up to drayton manor (only 60 odd mile round trip but more than my usual daily 8 mile trip) and on the way there my mfa read 71mpg ave. and 67 on way back! i know the mfa isn't 100% accurate, but its impressive nonetheless I changed my thermostat the other day too...

Not sure of exact figures but both the 110 BHP AFN passats ive had have pulled great even with a trailer hitched on to the back.
I would say Ive not noticed much difference in the way they pull between my 110 and my 130 if anything I would say my 110 has more torque lower down than my 130

Gazwould wrote:130 tdi sport. Only had a few weeks, previous owner achieved over a distance of 1700 + miles 48.8 mpg, average speed of 39 mph.

so to get near 50 mpg I need to drive everywhere at just under 40 mph...

I can see other drivers on the motorway loving me..

plenty of afn passats out there and wont break the bank buying one paul To be honest I think ill be heading back to another AFN passat after the new year. ive still got my t reg one but for a daily im wanting one better spec than the one ive got as its only an s the 130 is the SE so its nicely spec...

Im a bit confused now mate is the temp gauge on the dash working then......cos you said after 1 hour it's still in the blue.... If that's the case mate...then I would say it's faulty no I meant the car had been sitting an hour or so since it was last out hence the temp gauge on the dash was in the ...

a good service normally helps fuel economy. Your tyres up to the right pressure? No extra weight in the boot? Brakes not binding or handbrake pulling? no extra weight in the boot nor am I towing my car trailer no sticky brakes recent new rear callipers the last time I was getting mpg like this I wa...

Check to see what the ecu is seeing as coolant temp you can see this live whislt driving by using the climate control You need to push temp down, fan down and econ together then use the temp up button to get to level 44 it should then show you the coolant temp in deg C should be low 80s when going ...

forgot to add Karl car is 2wd and its running on 205/60/15 Im planning on putting the 16" alloys on it which will be running 205/55/16

Check thermostat and temp sensor is working correct and the engine is up to the temperature. These two are the main causes for high fuel consumption. car is getting up to temp according to the dash gauge wouldn't the temp sensor give me a fault code ? It will not give fault code or show on the dash...

cheers Karl I have looked for fuel leaks but not found any. I've had my code reader on the car and its came back with no faults would the temp sensor give me a code up? It is a proper vag reader which i've used on all my previous vag cars plus my mates 04 passat so I know it would tell me if theres ...
