Engine		Gasoline engine 1.4 (75 hp) Engine 1.4 (75 hp) is extremely reliable, tested by decades. Often mileage before the cap. Repair is about 500 thousand kilometers. It is characteristic small vibration at idle. The only problem of engine 1.4 (75 hp), when run 150-200 thousand km. the oil from the lubrication system enters the engine cooling system, this is due to the grace of copper lining under the sleeves. Engine repair, in this case, takes about 15 normal hours. Also at the engine 1.4 (75 hp) sometimes occurs the ignition coil. With the appearance of a "rustling" sound under the hood, the engine 1.4 (75 hp) requires the replacement of the timing chain together with the stars - work takes about 3.5 hours. However, on a stretched chain, you can ride a long time, the chain break cases are not fixed, but the fuel consumption increases. Gasoline Triump Cylinder Engine 1.2 12V Resource 12 Valve Engine 1.2 12V is from 200 to 300 thousand km, when running more than 200 thousand km. Engine wear and compression drop is observed. There may be several reasons: the general wear of the cylinder-piston group or the tart on the valves. In this case, sometimes it is more profitable to replace the engine than to repair. Also serious engine lack 1.2 12V - timing chain slipping (When running more than 90 thousand km.), after which camshafts are shifted and expensive repairs are required. Symptoms of slippage: a sharp drop of compression, poor engine start, or the impossibility of starting the engine of Fabia. Avoid slipping the timing chain can be replaced by the timing chain every 90 thousand km together with the sedative and tensioner. Motors volume 1.6 and 1.4 are built on the same platform as the engine 1.2, they are characteristic of: a drop in compression due to nagar on the valves, as well as the general wear of the cylinder-piston group. The difference between the engine 1.4 16V lies in the fact that there are two gear belt timber. According to the regulations, replacing the timing belts required every 90 thousand km, however, when opening engines by 70-80 thousand km, often detected excessive wear up to cracks beltsSo Bibipedia recommends replacing the timing belts in the engine 1.4 16V every 60 thousand km. Motor resource 1.4 16V - 250-350 thousand km, after which the repair or engine replacement is required. Gasoline engines 1.2, 1.4 16V, 1.6 are not subject to overhaul, that is, it is not possible to replace the piston group to repair the repair size. In the case of general mechanical wear, these engines Skoda Fabia. You have to change assembly. The cost of the new engine 1.2 12V is about 170 thousand Russian rubles. (Cost is shown on 01/18/2011) Diesel engines With normal operation, the resource of diesel engines is about 500 thousand km: Engine 1.9 POSSIBLE CAP. Repair, engine 1.4 is not subject to cap. Repair.
Transmission		Expenditure Element - Clutch, Lips from 100 to 200 thousand km, changes without any problems. The automatic transmission is "thoughtful", but quite reliable.
Control system and suspension		The disease of the first and second generation of Fabia - completion of the electrohydroysylter steering (Located under the front left wing). Symptoms of a malfunction of the electro-hydroxidant steering wheel: 1) The warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel of the power amplifier fault (yellow light bulb). 2) From time to time, the steering wheel can be lost. The electrohydrocessor of the steering wheel fails due to insufficient protectedness of it from dirt, sand, etc. After the purchase of Used Skoda Fabia for the prevention of Bibipedia recommends additionally to protect the electro-hydroxyl power steering from the exposure to external factors. The cost of the electro-hydroxidant steering is about 17,000 Russian rubles (the cost is shown in 01/18/2011). Also it should be borne in mind that two types of non-violent steering booster Koyo and TRW were installed on Fabia. Rear suspension Suspension troublesome. Every 60-80 thousand km is required to replace the bunches (work - elementary, pupils are inexpensive). Front suspension On models 1.2 and 1.4 liters, the front levers are attached to the body by means of aluminum consoles. Very often, when replacing the rear silent blocks (replacement of the rear silent blocks is required every 60-100 thousand km, the cost of silent blocks is 730 Russian rubles bolt holding lever in the console twisted with aluminum thread), Because of this, the re-installation of the lever is impossible. The console value is 5,500 Russian rubles (the cost is shown in 01/18/2011). The front silent blocks in the levers change only assembled with the levers, separately do not change. After replacing any silent blocks, it is necessary to make trouble-convergence. Versions with the engine 1.6 another type of suspension, which can be described as a fragile.
Brake system		In models with motion 1.2 and 1.4, on average, 100 thousand km is required to replace the brake pads together with brake cylinders in the rear drum brakes. The drums are enough for 2-3 replacement of brake pads. Sometimes rusting the parking brake cable. The front brake pads are on average about 45 thousand km.
Heated air and air conditioning		Sometimes heightened noise can occur when the fan is turned on, the reasons may be somewhat: 1) trash from the fan with a damaged filter 2) due to the unbalance and failure of the fan. Sometimes the fan begins to work at the maximum, in which case the resistance of the stove (resistor) is required.
Start and Charging System		In engines 1.2 and 1.4 Sometimes there is a failure of the ignition coil. Ignition Coil Symptoms: 1) Engine vibration 2) Power loss 3) lights up on the Check Engine panel. The resource of the ignition coils is -100-140 thousand km, it is possible to change one, but it's better at once.
Electrical components and other		Sometimes Failure to control the power control buttons On the driver's and passenger doors, due to moisture. Sometimes the on-board network errors occurThe fault of the onboard network reprogramming unit is eliminated. Sometimes stops opening the trunk lid. There may be several reasons: 1) Deformation of the mechanism of the electric drive 2) due to the malfunction of the electric motor. Troubleshooting the trunk cover: When the electric drive mechanism is deformed, it must be returned to its original position to eliminate this malfunction. If the problem is in the electric motor (on the machine with the electrical drive of the trunk lock), then in this case you need to replace the lock assembly.
Body stability to corrosion		Skoda Fabia body of this generation is 100% galvanized, but in the case of operating a car without front mudguards corrosion foci may arise on the thresholds.
