just sold my 2006 Fabia 1.9tdi, just wanted to leave a note to say thank you for all the tips tricks and instructions. Used your videos more times than i can remember, your channel is a goldmine of information! Great car, bought it when we first emigrated as it was cheap - ended up using it for 4 years with minimal garage bills thanks to your guidance.
@@HatBoyHarvey Saw that, you got lucky, personally I hate working on exhausts as you often have trouble with rotten studs and nuts. We've been having fun with our VRS, intercooler pipes kept popping off, the connectors are badly worn and just won't hold under boost so I'm ditching the crappy original intercooler and I've ordered a front mount version and the pipes to go with it. Also decided to deal with the alternator belt noise and ordered a new alternator pulley, new tensioner as it's hardly tensioning the belt at all and a new belt. Guess what I'll be doing over the Christmas break 🙂

@@birchgrovepermaculture6678 Great, that is just what I like to hear, glad it gave cheap, reliable motoring for those 4 years :-)

@@frankiebye 👍
very clear as always, thanks for posting
@@coplandjason A lot of stuff to take off, but doable as long as the exhaust nuts come loose. Most were ok, only stripped one ;-)
