Tea3 Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 Hi people! Long time no post. Anyway, would like to have your opinion. My Fabia has been behaving weird lately. The engine feels very sluggish when I start driving. Then after about 500m, it's ok. Never had this problem before. Car is due for its 10K servicing soon. Anything wrong, you think? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoda_Man Neutral Newbie August 26, 2003 Share August 26, 2003 could be just the engine oil. I don't know about others, but my Octy always feel like a breeze to drive just after an oil change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear August 27, 2003 Share August 27, 2003 Maybe, the car is reminding you sent for 10k servicing. Could be the petrol grade sparkplug efficiency. engine oil quality dirty air filter and many others. sure way is to sent for analysis test and service.

Meow Neutral Newbie August 27, 2003 Share August 27, 2003 Meow............ Sound like happened before for a short period but then OK already. Could be the fault memory(ECU) in the system. Just anyhow guest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoder Neutral Newbie August 30, 2003 Share August 30, 2003 My car is very slow at warm up too. So after doing this (rev to 3k) it helps me to get to the temperature. I mean 3k, not much lah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
