Thread: Entered into the Skoda way of life!!

Just picked myself up a Fabia 1.4 16v Elegance. Very nice indeed. Only bad thing is its still got a tape player!!! ARGH!?!?
So any help or hints or anything will be greatly appreciated to get me out of my old civic ways!

Hi and welcome aboard.
I have a 1.4 16v Fabia and the only thing you must check often is the engine oil level as the engine does drink oil which is normal.

Nice one john

Any ideas what the best kind of oil to use is? I'm awaiting my manual and service book thats all

I use Semi synthetic 10w-40 oil.

I just got an mp3 player with fm transmitter plugs in cigaret lighter socket

I bought an expensive fm transmitter for my ipod and it was rubbish, so i bought a new head unit that had an ipod connection on it aswell as a usb and aux connections.

dont really want to ruin the look of the dash with an after market stereo. 've seen the ipod connectors that into the cd changer input behind the oem system but pretty sure it wont have great support for standard mp3 players. I have a garmin sat nav with sd card that i was using but would like to plug a portable hard drive in. Becoming a bit of a nightmare....
