2000 Skoda Fabia SDi Comfort from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Bargain car that runs on fumes!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A sensor on the power steering had a fault that appeared now and then, this was replaced within an hour by one of the dealers I use.

The pipe carrying the washer fluid to the rear screen comes off if it freezes, it is a known fault and is easy to pop on again (once you know where it is!!).

Apart from that, it has been brilliant.

General comments?

I commute over 100 miles each day and I can only say that this car is fantastic. Very good MPG and handles like it is on rails.

Air conditioning is really good, as is the stereo.

I have had two 10,000 mile services and they have been no problem, the dealers are very good but have long lead times for booking in and you might have to go to different dealers to get the dates you want!

I have a similar Skoda Fabia Comfort SDi diesel. Same fault with the sensor on the power steering.

The colour is metallic dark blue and it shows scratches easily as a white mark due to the lacquer coating. I sometimes wonder if the lacquer finish is too soft?

The lacquer does seem soft as I have the same problem in a couple of places, but mine's silver so not quite as big a problem.

Now done 31,000 miles and not showing too many stone chips or general wear and tear!
