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 systemThis happens because of the vision of copper lines 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, chain breakage 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 drop compression is observed. The reasons may be several: 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 lack of engine 1.2 12V - timing chain groove (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 along with the sedative and tensioner. Engines 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 overall wear of the cylinder-piston group. The difference between the engine 1.4 16V lies in the fact that there are two gear belts of the timing belt. 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 that, 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: the engine 1.9 may be cap. Repair, engine 1.4 is not subject to cap. repair.
Transmission		Consumable Element - Clutch, Looks away from 100 to 200 thousand km, changes without any problems. The automatic transmission is "thoughtful", but sufficiently reliable.
Management and suspension system		The disease of the first and second generation of Fabia - outlook the electrohydrocessor steering wheel (Located under the front left wing). Symptoms of malfunction of the electrohydrocessor steering: 1) The signal 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 electrobhydroinsyl power steering from the effects of external factors. The cost of the electro-hydroxidant steering wheel is about 17,000 Russian rubles (the cost is given for 01/8/2011). 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, the bumps 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 along with aluminum thread), Because of this, the re-installation of the lever is impossible. The cost of the console is 5,500 Russian rubles (the cost is shown in 01/18/2011). The front silent blocks in the levers only change assembled with the levers, do not change separately. After replacing any silent blocks, it is necessary to make trouble-convergence. Versions with engine 1.6 Another type of suspension, which can be described as a trouble-free.
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 parking brake cable. The front brake pads are on average about 45 thousand km.
Heated air and air conditioning		Sometimes there may be increased noise when the fan is turned on, there may be several reasons: 1) trash in 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. Symptoms of failure ignition coil: 1) Engine vibration 2) Power loss 3) lights up on the Check Engine panel. The resource of ignition coils -100-140 thousand km, can be changed on one, but it's better at once.
Electrical components and other		Sometimes Failure to control the control of windows On the driver's and passenger doors, due to moisture. Sometimes the onboard network errors occurThe malfunction of the onboard network reprogramming unit is eligible. Sometimes the trunk lid stops opening. 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 machines with the electric drive of the trunk lock), then in this case you need to replace the lock assembly.
Body resistance 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 occur on the thresholds.
