  Every second service will be in the region of £300 as the L200 need new filters.

The timing belt needs changing at 62,500 miles or every four years, whichever comes first, costing around £300 for the kit that includes the hydraulic tensioner.

  Skoda Fabia vRS (2003-2007) 19 Jun 2016 (News)
  You have to remember too that while diesel hot hatches are pretty common now, in 2003 they were few and far between. The Golf GT TDI (powered by the same engine) was making waves, but it didn’t have the impact the Fabia did. With a kerbweight of little more than 1300kg, the light Fabia is still sensationally quick but what impresses most is how effortless the performance is.

    JM, Ruthin, N Wales Petrol engined cars below EU4 and diesel engined cars below EU6 will not be allowed into a lot of city centres. This is on top of the problems that diesel-engined cars tend to suffer between years 3 and 6 and I think it's going to leave a lot of fleets relying on current diesel residuals bankrupt.

  Keep topping up with diesel. Never let the level get low because the petrol will stay in the tank floating on top of the diesel for maybe as long as 2,000 miles before it has completely dispersed. A lubricity enhancing additive will help, and Shell V-Power Nitro Plus diesel contains the most lubricity additive of any diesel.
